There seem to be 2 basic ways of doing this, either through AUR, or using a script with the extension. I’m going to give this one last shot before deciding whether to call time on my using Manjaro. Many thnx for your unhelpful and obtuse comment. Maybe there’s a way of automating things so I don’t have to keep running this command with each new Vmware session, but It’s a small price to pay, compared to the gigantic time-wasting period of trying to find a simple solution to my issue after reading through some of the horrendously complicated advice given as a so-called solution…Īh yes. So I just run this command and I’m up and running again.
And this is it Just run the command sudo modprobe -a vmw_vmci vmmon and finally my VM loads without error. Then to cut a long story short, by luck rather than judgement, someone in some obscure thread on Vmware mentioned an important command in addition to the Linux-header installation for Manjaro. I reboot expecting success this time, but alas, when firing up Vmware Player the GUI loads OK, but it’s the same old story with the vmon error message displayed once again when trying to run my VM. So I download and manage to install the header for my kernel version (5.10.36-2). In Mint these are installed automatically with every kernel upgrade. ' You need Linux headers for your kernel version’, I am told. But in Manjaro, no way! It has to be complicated. Same for Windows (sorry, that’s supposed to be Windoze). I have Vmware Player in Linux Mint, and guess what? It works just fine - every time, updates and all. Why does everything about Manjaro have to be so complicated and cause a major headache.
