I am running VMware Workstation 16 Pro on my W11 PC. I have several VMs, including a Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS VM, and a Solaris 10 VM (sadly still needed for legacy projects). I need to allow the Solaris VM access (full RW permissions) to my "/" partition (ext4, /dev/sda3) in the Ubuntu VM. First, is this even possible? If so, what are the steps necessary for this to happen? On the Ubuntu VM, I went to Settings -> Sharing, enabled Sharing, and then went into Media Sharing, and shared the folder /, and enabled Wired connection 1. In the Solaris VM created the folder /etc/nfs/ub22 (as root), I su'd to root and entered mount -F nfs 192.168.18.107:/ /etc/nfs/ub22 (1921.68.18.107 is the IP of the Ubuntu VM) but I get the error nfs mount: 192.168.18.107: : RPC: Rpcbind failure - RPC: Unable to receive

I am compiling kernels for CentOS 6.10 in VMware Workstation. For some reason when I compile and boot a new kernel, VMware Tools stops working, or at least the shared folders feature does, which is the feature I am using to copy files between the VM and host machine. CentOS is updated to the most recent updated kernel, which I am also compiling with rpmbuild as stock with no modifications other than defining buildid in kernel.spec to differentiate it. I am installing the kernel RPM as well as the kernel-firmware RPM. The kernel boots perfectly fine and everything appears to work other than VMware Tools. Does anyone know why VMware Tools stops working when building a custom (unmodified) stock kernel? I have tried reinstalling VMware Tools. This makes no difference unless I am on some version of a stock kernel.

I'm running Kali Linux (deb) on VMWare Workstation 17 Pro. I have my host laptop's (Win10) webcam hooked up to Kali via VMware. On the Kali guest, when I give it a ls /dev/video* I get video0 through video3 as results, meaning the Kali guest knows there is a camera hooked up. I am testing the camera with cheese to see what it sees, and here is where the issue is. The app/camera does start, but it's mostly a grey box. The top of the image renders a few lines so I can see my ceiling fan, but 95% of the rest of the bottom of the image is grey. The image also flickers here and there, some times showing more of my ceiling. I have the Accelerate 3D Graphics option turned on in VMWare (although I didn't do anything on Kali side, maybe I'm missing something here?). Any idea how to get this built-in laptop webcam to work properly on the Kali guest OS in VMware?

I am experimenting with older versions of Linux in VMware. RHEL5 detects my virtual network adapter just fine, but Fedora 6 does not. I thought that RHEL5 was based on Fedora 6? I have tried various operating system options in VMware for Fedora 6, such as "Fedora", "Red Hat Linux", and "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5" without success. I am trying to run Fedora 6 i386, if that makes a difference. I am using VMware Workstation 16.

I just restarted my Pop!_OS and when trying to open vmware it says I have to compile several modules. It then goes onto trying to compile vmmon and vmnet, which fails. and gives me an error log file. I've tried changing gcc version with

update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc-12 100

, this didn't seem to change the error files. I've also tried running

vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

but this also fails. Error log file:

I have the lastest kernel 6.9.3 and the headers, source and all dependencies, i think so. Can you help me!!

Same as posted in redhat bugzilla -- [kcompacd0 using 100% cpu](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1694305) , which was closed for INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Also same as - https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/458893/vmware-on-linux-host-causes-regular-freezes - https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/161858/arch-linux-becomes-unresponsive-from-khugepaged/ Reopening because the solution there doesn't work for me. Here is my situation: - Ubuntu **21.10** host and Windows **10** Enterprise client, with VMware Workstation 16 v**16.2.0** build-18760230 - I'm not doing anything fancy or heavy load, just after a day of regular Windows 10 usage (of light load), things start to get wild. - The process kcompactd0 is constantly using 100% cpu on one core, and vmware-vmx using 100% cpu on eight cores. - When it does, it'll normally last for several minutes. Then kicks in again after a minutes or two. - _"kcompactd0 goes away only with drop_caches. when it goes 100%, the vmware virtual machine guest is completely unresponsive (windows 10 ltsc vm)"_ So I only tried drop_caches once, and have confirmed the behavior. As requested upstream, here is more info:

Basically the source of the workaround is in a [Fedora bug report “khugepaged eating 100%CPU”](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=879801) . The bug was never fixed, and the "solution" was meant for Fedora 17 in year 2013, and > with the last 3, maybe 4-5 versions of Fedora Kernels I haven't encountered that issue again. But it is happening again now.

I have freshly installed Rocky Linux 8.5 then yum upgrade and dnf upgrade. Installed the kernel-headers and kernel-devel with gcc, etc. all following the instructions posted at several locations around the web. Then tried to download and run the .bundle file from vmware.com to install Workstation Pro 16.2.1. During the first attempt to run, the kernel modules vmmon and vmnet are supposed to compile, but fail to do so. From several posts, it appears there was a back-port to fix a problem with a forthcoming kernel - but that fix fails with the current kernel now shipped with Rocky 8.5 I upgraded to kernel 5.16.4 following standard instructions for a kernel upgrade, but the same basic problems continue to manifest themselves. Does anyone have instructions for creating ANY VERSION of vmware workstation on Rocky 8.5? I ask for Rocky 8.5 instructions because Rocky 8.4 is no longer available for download from rockylinux.org I am told this problem is also active on Red Hat Enterprises 8.5, but do not have access to a legal license for testing purposes thereon... I find my situation to be a surprise, because vmware.com is a sponsor of Rocky Linux, and you would think someone in their QA group would have regression tested their code on the most recent general availability of Rocky?... I don't have the necessary reputation to create the tag "rocky-linux"...

i just install VMware Workstation player 17 and setup a Windows 10 VM with 4 core CPU and 5GB of Memory, But when the VM turned on it only takes 2GB of host memory and Windows 10 Task Manager shows only single core like it was a 32-bit . I tried Uninstall and Reinstalling VMware Workstation Player and same problem continues. I have a Ryzen 7 5825U Processor with 16gb RAM and I'm running a Debian Testing based Distro with kernel version 6.1

Hello to the Linux SE! I'm facing an error on CentOS 6.10 (x86_64 arch) running on VMware Workstation. I searched the internet for this issue. Some relevant threads by users on other sites and forums were posted, but with no success. I didn't expect this error as I had no installation errors while installing Linux. It happened when the VMware Tools installation triggered /etc/vmware-tools/services.sh start to start it. > Note that the VMware Tools ISO file was not corrupted. I had expected something wrong to happen when I saw this one at the finalization of installation: It occurred at this step. I tried to reinstall it completely. But still, the problem persists.

I'm trying to start a VMWare Workstation VM from the command line. I can do this under my user (not root) by running the following

/usr/bin/vmplayer /home/myUser/vmware/myVm.vmx

Now, I want to set this VM to start on boot, so I created a service /lib/systemd/system/myService.service with the following:

[Unit]
Description=my vm service

[Service]
User=myUser
ExecStart=/usr/bin/vmplayer /home/myuser/vmware/myVm.vmx
Environment=DISPLAY=:0

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

If I run the service from the terminal (i.e. sudo systemctl restart myService) I can see the VM window popping up and starting correctly. However, if I reboot the system the VM doesn't start and this is the status I get

Jan 23 12:55:59 home systemd: Started myService service.
Jan 23 12:56:00 home truenas.sh: [AppLoader] Use shipped Linux kernel AIO access library.
Jan 23 12:56:00 home truenas.sh: An up-to-date "libaio" or "libaio1" package from your system is preferred.
Jan 23 12:56:00 home vmplayer: cannot open display: :0
Jan 23 12:56:00 home systemd: myService.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Jan 23 12:56:00 home systemd: myService.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

I thought DISPLAY=:0 on the environment would fix the issue but that's the error I got and I'm not able to fix it.

I'm trying to figure out if my VMWare tools is running and some of the solutions I found online aren't quite working. If I look at apt list --installed | grep vm I see open-vm-tools-desktop/kali-rolling,now 2:12.0.0-2 amd64 [installed] open-vm-tools/kali-rolling,now 2:12.0.0-2 amd64 [installed,automatic] but if I look at processes running with ps ax | grep vm it doesn't look to be running 198 ?

The weirdest thing is, sometimes copy/paste into and out of the VM work and then seemingly randomly it stops, that's the real root issue here if anyone knows what's ultimately wrong. The "Reinstall VMWare Tools..." is also greyed out on my licensed VMWare Workstation 15.5 Edit: additionally I tried this answer https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/312820 and now I have removed open-vm-tools but sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools-desktop fuse is not working, saying I have broken packages: Reading package lists...

My Windows 10 desktop has VMware. To set past time in VMware, I disabled sync options as described here: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1189 I just tried to set the date to past time in VMware. And it worked. However, after reading and writing files in a shared directory within Linux (VMware), the time is synced to the current time. How can I disable the time and date sync in the VMware shared folder? p.s: VMware version is VMware Workstation 16 Player, and Linux is CentOS 5.0.

On a Windows 10 host with Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz I'm trying to setup a virtual machine installation of Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 to test scenarios for migration project to a modern version. However within VMWare Workstation 16, Hyper-V and Oracle VM Virtual Box 6.1 I am unable to complete the install. Process anaconda terminates, call trace references vsnprintf, seq_printf, inode_has_perm, show_cpuinfo, seq_read, vfs_read and system_class. I've tried text installation, noapic, noprobe options during install but so far have same issue. Any suggestions if there is config change or install options that can allow this to complete?

I am trying to install VMWareTools 9.6.5-270 on my freshly downloaded Linux Mint 19 from OSBoxes. I am running it inside VMWare Workstation 10.0.7 build-2844087 Like many online, I cannot get past the The path "/usr/bin/gcc" is not valid path to the gcc binary issue. I have read a few articles here and there that state there are pre-requisites that need to be installed. So far I have installed: - gcc - binutils - make - linux-source - build-essential (12.4ubuntu1) - linux-headers-4.15.0-20-generic So which package did I forget to install? Or is the install script mistakenly detecting the path as wrong?

A white square appears when I click on the edges of the screen if I am under VMware Workstation 16 Pro - 16.2.3 build-19376536. This thing only happens when I use Wayland, with Xorg the problem does not arise. I am using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Desktop with Gnome 42 (Default). This problem has already been reported at the following link: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/4601 Is there any way to fix it?

I use VMware Workstation 16 on my MX Linux. Each time I start it after starting my machine, I get the following error: "could not open /dev/vmmon". Yesterday and again today, I tried to solve this by following the steps mentioned [here](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/99388/could-not-open-dev-vmmon-no-such-file-or-directory) . The issue temoporarily gets solved, but it arises again whenever I start my laptop. Is there any workaround to this problem which can be treated as a permanent solution? Thanks in advance.

I have a high resolution screen and I'm running the downloadable Kali VM from their site. The problem is everything looks super tiny because of my host laptop screen resolution. In the guest Kali OS, I've gone to Settings > Appearance > Settings tab > Window Scaling and changed it to 2x which seems to have helped almost everything *except* the terminal. Its the entire terminal program, including the File | Actions | Edit | View | Help toolbar at the top is all too small. Increasing the font size within terminal, only affects the 'main' part of the terminal, but I'd like for the entire terminal program to be scaled up. I am running the downloadable Kali VM (the full VM, not the just the ISO file) on VMWare Workstation Pro 15.5

I installed Debian 8.0 recently in vmware workstation 16. When Debian boots up after instalation I see the following picture: I know this version of Debian was made in 2015, but I really want to use it. Please help! (It does the same thing in live cd mode.)
