@jihem yeah, I was having problems with compiling vmware modules from the official vmware workstation bundle. I thought, that this problem also affects this version of the vmware package. I'm glad that it doesn't.

@zelluz: Which kernel do you use? If you reinstall the package, do you have some errors on DKMS compilation?

Having issues compiling modules after upgradering to the latest version.
"Unable to start services.
See log file /tmp/vmware-root/vmware-11569.log for details"
Output in terminal:
Starting VMware services:
Virtual machine monitor failed
Virtual machine communication interface done
VM communication interface socket family done
Blocking file system done
Virtual ethernet failed
VMware Authentication Daemon done
In log file /tmp/vmware-root/vmware-11569.log the error is: "Hunk #12 FAILED at 1167.
1 out of 57 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file vmmon/linux/hostif.c.rej"
Thank you in advance.

@Sarithis: these patches are not useful anymore, the last version of VMware already contains corrections for Linux 4.11. Do you have some errors on compilation?
@zaephyr: thanks for the information!

These patches need to be applied before rebuilding vmware modules if you're using the newest kernel (4.11.3-1-ARCH):

@dann1 @jihem: As a note, open-vm-tools is what VMware recommends everyone use. They officially support it (https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/microsite.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=2073803) and are the maintainers of the official repo (https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools).

@dann1: do you talk about the "official" VMware tools, opposed to the open-vm-tools? I will thinking about that, but probably not. open-vm-tools works great, and it seems to me that now VMware tools does not provide more functionalities.
dann1 commented on 2017-05-27 19:03 (UTC)
Thanks a lot for this package. Is there the possiblity of you packaging vmware-tools? It would be really nice.
jihem commented on 2017-05-27 05:52 (UTC)
/usr/lib/systemd/system is the right place to put service files in a package and yes, you need to manually activate the services you want (using systemctl start/systemctl enable).
And thanks for your second comment! I also hope I will be able to maintain this package for a long time. :)

NVM, figured it out on my own. Thanks for the helpful comment. This is by far the most useful package on my machine :-) Pls don't ever stop maintaining it :-)))

After the first installation, please:
1) install the appropriate headers package(s) for your installed kernel(s): linux-headers for default kernel, linux-lts-headers for LTS kernel...
2) reboot or load vmw_vmci and vmmon kernel modules (modprobe -a vmw_vmci vmmon)
3) Enable the services you need (using .service units to activate them during boot or .path units to activate them when a VM is started) :
vmware-networks: to have network access inside VMs
vmware-usbarbitrator: to connect USB devices inside VMs
