Krellan,

I know this might be asking a bit much, but do you think you can come up with a patch that will allow VMPlayer 1.0.9 to work with 64bit Centos using 2.6.29.4 (from kernel.org) ? I don't have the option to upgrade to the latest VMplayer right now. Or if you feel giving, let me know how I can do it myself? Or is it even possible?

Thanks.

Here is the vmmon error:

Re: Here is patch for Workstation 6.5.2 on Linux 2.6.29 kernel

JimWest — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 23:05:58 GMT

Thru some googling, I learned of the problem with the usb controller for guest hosts in VMware Workstation 6.5.2 in the Fedora 11 kernel 2.6.30-5 on x86-64 SMP servers.

When the usb controller of a guest host is removed, the virtual host shutdown is eliminated.

While this is a good work around, many users would like to use usb devices with their virtual hosts, so a fix to this problem is needed.

If anyone knows if a patch to fix this problem exists for VMware Workstation 6.5.2, or whether this problem has been fixed in VMware Workstation 6.5.3, please post a reply.

Thanks,

Jim West

Re: Here is patch for Workstation 6.5.2 on Linux 2.6.29 kernel

JimWest — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 14:30:48 GMT

The VMware Workstation 6.5.2 kernel 2.6.29 patch compiled the VMware modules and allows me to install and run VMware Workstation 6.5.2 on Fedora 11 with Kernel 2.6.30.5-43.fc11.x86_64 #1 SMP.

When I run a shutdown on a virtual host running under VMware Workstation, a root vmware process running the virtual host remains running.

This causes VMware Workstation unable to "power on" the virtual host, without first manually killing the root process still running part the virtual host.

When the virtual host is a Windows XP virtual host, starting XP backup is difficult.

Here is an example of a vmware virtual ubuntu process still running after shutting down ubuntu:

root 12591 1 5 08:07 ? 00:03:59 /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx -# product=1;name=VMware Workstation;version=6.5.2;buildnumber=156735;licensename=VMware Workstation for Linux;licenseversion=6.0 build-156735; -@ pipe=/tmp/vmware-root/vmx9d7c619184d0cf60;readyEvent=153 /RAID5/vmware/ubuntu/Ubuntu.vmx

The file or pipe /tmp/vmware-root/vmx9d7c619184d0cf60 does not exist, yet the process 12591 is still running. It is not possible to power up ubuntu without first killing this process.

If anyone recognizes this process and has any suggestions for resolving this problem, I would appreciate any suggestions.

This problem exists shutting down any virtual host in my Fedorar 11 SMP x86_64 installation.

My Fedora 11 system is:

Linux Sanibel 2.6.30.5-43.fc11.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Aug 27 21:39:52 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Perhaps someone else has seen this problem and found a fix for it.

Your suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim West

Palooka — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 11:35:37 GMT

Krellan,

Again, very many thanks for your sterling work.

I hadn't actually tried Player 2.5.3, since 2.5.2 was working fine after your patch. However, I've installed Player 2.5.3 on Fedora 11 (kernel 2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i686.PAE) successfully now, without patching. I did a complete removal of 2.5.2 first (plus rm the previous backups).

It didn't quite work "out of the box" though; the installer hung (I was using the rpm) halfway through. I had to kill a couple of child processes, as another poster described, without exiting the install process. Then it completed successfully.

After completion, I did an extra "vmware-modconfig --console --install-all" just to be sure. At the moment. I have only one VM - Windows XP. Everything therein is working fine.

Thanks again,

Palooka

Krellan — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 04:10:27 GMT

palooka: It seems that there is NO PATCH NEEDED for VMware Workstation 6.5.3 on Linux 2.6.29.

I only have used Workstation, though, not Player.

Here's my report of success for VMware Workstation 6.5.3 on Linux 2.6.31: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/230743

Please try upgrading to VMware Player 2.5.3, which should catch up with many of the improvements made in Workstation.

Does it work now, or is it still broken?

Krellan,

Great job. Very many thanks. Will you be releasing a patch for Player 2.5.3 (Linux kernel 2.6.29)?

Cheers,

Palooka

Krellan/ Josh,

I couldn't figure out what was wrong, until I found your post, then applied your patch, and it's magic. Vmware should be paying you for the work you've done to make their fee based application work. I was thinking about switching to VirtualBox until I found your patch! Thanks!

I trust that you want follow-ups to your new patch in the new thread. I have added a follow-up there. Looks like I have the same starting point as slavek1979, even after a clean install. (See the follow-up for details in http://communities.vmware.com/thread/221724.)

BTW, thanks for the great work.

Re: Here is patch for Workstation 6.5.2 on Linux 2.6.29 kernel

Krellan — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 21:37:11 GMT

Slavek: That means that the files were not an exact match for what was originally installed, when VMware Workstation 6.5.2 was installed. So, try removing the /usr/lib/vmware/modules directory, then reinstall VMware on top of your old installation. That should replace the files. Make sure your version is exactly VMware Workstation 6.5.2.

Re: Here is patch for Workstation 6.5.2 on Linux 2.6.29 kernel

Krellan — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 04:39:48 GMT

Hi all!

I've posted a new patch, that will work for Linux 2.6.29. It will also work for 2.6.30 and 2.6.31.

It's in this thread:

http://communities.vmware.com/thread/221724

This new patch now supersedes all of my earlier patches. Hopefully this will solve a lot of problems that people had with the earlier patches.

You might need to restore your VMware Workstation 6.5.2 installation from backup, or at least the /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source directory. The new patch script now looks at the original modules in a much more careful way, and backs them up in a much safer way that can be ran more than once without causing failure. Unfortunately, to do this, I had to make it incompatible with the original script.

So, copy back your /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source directory from backup, or just reinstall VMware Workstation 6.5.2, and you should be OK.

Hope this helps!

Josh

I moved from Fedora to CentOS (RHEL clone). It has full support for my laptop's hardware (Dell Vostro 1400), it's 100% supported by VMware (because it's basically RHEL rebadged) and the best of all: It's not ubuntu!! . It's not the latest and greatest software versions, but I prefer stability. I guess I'm getting old :P.

If you are using Fedora 11, you might have problems with the audio because AFAIK Fedora 11 disabled OSS by default, which is the mechanism used by VMware Workstation to output sound (no idea why, since it's obsolete now). See this thread for possible help: http://marc.info/?l=fedora-devel-list&m=122667909031658&w=2 or google for fedora 11 oss

I had the same problem. I finaly got around it by uninstalling vmware and renaming the /usr/lib/vmware/modules directory (the uninstall didnt clean everything out) then re installing everything. the fix it script wont run on anything but perfictlay clean

install. I did this:

export LANG=C
rpm -i VMware-Workstation-6.5.2-156735.i386.rpm
bash ./vmware-6.5.2-modules-2.6.29-fix.sh
vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

this ran ok then rebooted and try vmware load and it works.

I noticed too. finaly go vmware to install and it runs but when I shut down a vm it hangs, but works fine otherwise (can switch between vm and host ok, can edit machine settings)

It works mostly. Seems to be intermittently slow and hangs when I try to shut down the OS. Meaning it does not shut down cleanly. Also takes a lot longer to startup than it did on fedora 10.

also note that after "shutdown" the vmware-vmx process is still running and has to be killed manually.

I'm using it on Fedora 11 and it works. Just follow the instructions given. There is nothing else that needs to be done.

This worked, thank you!

However, it hangs when I shut down the guest OS. I don't know if it's related.

You are the man, mate.

The VMware is working as should.

Just quick info for dummies like me:

To run this fantastic script you have to change the file attributs - chmod and then just run it.

Many thanks to all

Hmm.. it has been a while, but I think it was something like this.

1. Install VMware, I used the TAR.GZ
2. su
3. unzipp patch -> I copied to /usr/lib/vmware/modules
4. cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules
5. ./vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

Hi,

I've tried this patch for vmware server 2.0.1 x86_64 on a custom 2.6.29.4 kernel since the patch I made for the vmnet kernel module didn't work (HostOnly networking does not work correctly).

However the vmnet module crashes just after being initialized.

Any clue of the possible cause?
What kernel configuration are you using?

Regards,
Gabriele

nt4cats — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 13:47:27 GMT

I have the same "can't shutdown" issue with Fedora 11 x86_64 and VMware Workstation 6.5.2, but am using an (inconvenient) workaround. The issue appears to be with the VMWare GUI -- if I configure my VM's to run in the background after I close the VMWare Workstation GUI, and then use SSH or rdesktop (a.k.a. a Windows Terminal Services client) to access the VM, I can shut it down cleanly ..., so at this point I start my VMs using the VMWare GUI, and then close my VMWare GUI. I then use SSH or rdesktop to interact with the VM (including shutdown), and I have no problems.

This is NOT a fix, but it allows me to get by until one comes along.

Re: Here is patch for Workstation 6.5.2 on Linux 2.6.29 kernel

skolnick — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 20:38:12 GMT

I noticed the exact same thing. The modules build (and mostly work), but throwing lots of these _MSC_VER and __FreeBSD__ warnings. Also, when powering on a virtual machine, it will not poweroff (it seems to timeout somehow) and finally it leaves the processes running under the hood, but the GUI reporting the VM as powered off and the lock folders still in the VM's folder. I would say these patch is very near to fully working, but not there regretably. Very good effort tough, and kudos to the developer. If it can be fixed, I'll be happy to test.

Regards.

Edit: I'm running Fedora 11 x64, have any other users of Workstation 6.5.2 under linux 2.6.29 seen any problems? or is it only fedora 11 that have them?

When I installed "acr38u" and "beid" in Mandriva 2009.1 x86_64 PowerPack with kernel 2.6.29, VMware Workstation 6.5.2 with patches crashes on shutdown of Windows Vista virtual machine. These are modules to connect a smart card device and read Belgian electronic identity cards. From a fresh install, VMware workstation works perfectly. After installation of these modules, when Vista is shutting down, the VMware workstation seems frozen for a minute and then suddenly disappears. Restarting VMware workstation does not help: Vista can not be started anymore. I already tried to turn off sharing of smart card, as described in the workstation manual on page 343 by adding usb.ccid.useSharedMode = "FALSE" in /etc/vmware/config. It did not help. Does anyone see a solution?

Re: Here is patch for Workstation 6.5.2 on Linux 2.6.29 kernel

sidvdhc — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 02:48:36 GMT

I had the same observations. Fresh install of VMware Workstation 6.5.2, Krellan's patches (wow, lots of updates!), vmware-modconfig... Running a i686 kernel on a Pentium with hyperthreading.

Ran vmware from a terminal session. After a very long minute, it crashed, printed

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'vmdb::Error'
what(): Internal error

and exited with 0 status.

While vmware was busy hanging, the rest of the system was running normally. Top showed no abnormal usage from any vmware processes.

Tried again, but instead of waiting a very long minute, kill the vmware-vmx process. My vmware process went away immediately.

I'm also running this (testing) on fedora11, 64bit 2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64 ... it works great for running machines. The problem I'm having however is stopping (or pausing) machines. When I try to shutdown or pause a machine, workstation will hang for a while (minute or so unresponsive), then it will crash. However if I do a ps, sure enough the vmx of that machine is still left running.

Anyone else experiencing this? Any ideas ?? I typically run multiple machines at the same time so this is a show-stopper for my planned upgrade to fed11.

Thanks!

I'm trying the latest Workstation 6.5.2 on Fedora 11 (2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64) but I get this errors several times when running your script (vmware-6.5.2-modules-2.6.29-fix.sh):

warning: "_MSC_VER" is not defined
warning: "__FreeBSD__" is not defined

As a result the script doesn't do the magic.

Searching on google did me believe it has something to do with (non) installed packages, so I did this command "yum list * kernel *" and got this:

Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit

What should I do?

Thanks!

UPDATE : rebooted and did the command "vmware-modconfig --console --install-all" which DID work now! I'm such a newbie! Thanks a lot!

UPDATE2 : VMware itself seems to work, but my virtual machine doesn 't start up anymore.

Unable to change virtual machine power state: VMware Workstation cannot connect to the virtual machine. Make sure you have rights to run the program and to access all directories it uses and rights to access all directories for temporary files..

UPDATE3 : I did a complete uninstall, rebooted and dit it all over again. Now it works like a charm.

Hello,

If the VMware Player has no difference with Workstation, here is a source directory for compile on 2.6.30 :

dimedroli4: That's a strange error you're getting from vmware-modconfig. I don't know what the problem would be. For some reason, it thinks your gcc and kernel headers aren't installed. That's not true, of course, because otherwise you wouldn't have been able to compile the VMware modules with the patch at all. Strange. Hopefully somebody else knows how to fix the problem with vmware-modconfig.

I have changed the files in here:

I have placed a backup of the original files in here:

The original VMware modules directory is still in the way.
Please move this directory somewhere else, because it confuses VMware:
/usr/lib/vmware/modules/binary

This command should work now, to install the modules:
vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

mv /usr/lib/vmware/modules/binary /usr/lib/vmware/modules/binary.old
vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

gcc and kernel headers must be installed

I use 2.6.29.1 linux kernel

Can you help me?

Re: Here is patch for Workstation 6.5.2 on Linux 2.6.29 kernel

barraski — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 12:14:21 GMT

Have anyone produced a patch for 2.6.30 yet?

I know it's still on RC2 state, but I've just upgrade to Ubuntu 9.04 and had to install 2.6.30-020630rc2 in order to get any decent i910 graphics performance and, of course, vmware modules compilation does not work (using vmware workstation 6.5.1).

Has anyone tried the patch for 6.5.2/2.6.29 on 2.6.30-rc2?

I'm willing to beta test any patch provided.

Thanks a lot

It sucks not to get the direct support from VMWare on that matter, anyway your help is highly appreciated.

Thank you very much for the excellent script (I really liked your bash programming style - it's clear and easily comprehensible) and patches, everything worked just fine!

Keep up your great work. I suppose once 2.6.30 is out new incompatibilities appear and you'll have to slightly rework your patches.

fw114: It does feel weird to be doing VMware's job for them.

You're right, VMware should be aware of the latest Linux kernels and at least try to keep up. It usually takes fewer than one day of effort to make a patch, and probably less if one is already familiar with the VMware code. 2.6.30 is right around the corner

as i can see also nvidia has new drivers for their boardsand kernel 2.6.29 ...

do the paying support customer have a patch ?

Stumpy842 — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 21:32:54 GMT

Thanks for your comments Krellan, I appreciate it. I hacked up your installer script pretty good so it works without needing to be root, you just place the vmware-tools-distrib folder and the patches and installer script in the same folder and run. I added some extra diffs for a couple of minor things but most changes to the patch are for the vmhgfs module which of course is not in the host. I need to go back and look to see who I borrowed the vmware-config-tools.pl patch from so I can give credit to them as well, I found it on the Ubuntu forums somewhere a while back. I hope this proves useful for anyone who wants the tools in their guest OS!

Re: Here is patch for Workstation 6.5.2 on Linux 2.6.29 kernel

Krellan — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 20:13:48 GMT

As for the modules/binary directory confusing VMware and thus needing to be moved out of the way, this fix might not be needed anymore.

I originally saw it in some older instructions (I forget where), and it seemed like a good idea to follow, at the time. I think there might have been a problem with VMware not doing a full rebuild from source if it found a "supported" kernel version inside of the modules/binary directory, and thus missing some changes that were made in some patches.

At any rate, if it worked successfully for you without needing to move the modules/binary directory out of the way, that's perfectly fine.

Josh

Re: Here is patch for Workstation 6.5.2 on Linux 2.6.29 kernel

Krellan — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 20:08:29 GMT

You're welcome!

Interesting. I haven't yet tried to run Linux 2.6.29 as guest, only as host. (The reason I upgraded to 2.6.29 is to get better hardware support for my motherboard's sensors, which are a moot point in a virtual machine.)

Glad to know the patch (with some modifications) also works as guest.

Hi folks, first let me apologize for posting about VMware Tools in the Workstation thread, but I don't see a separate area for Tools, and I modified Krellan's work to use it to install VMware Tools-7.7.5-156745 in the guest OS running kernel 2.6.29. If there is a better area to post this please let me know.

You can get the patch files & script here

Re: Here is patch for Workstation 6.5.2 on Linux 2.6.29 kernel

Yes, the patch only affects VMware's kernel modules on the host, which are in this directory:

/usr/lib/vmware/modules

It shouldn't affect your distro's kernel or your distro's modules at all.

Here is patch for Workstation 6.5.2 on Linux 2.6.29 kernel

Krellan — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 09:42:37 GMT

Here we go again, with VMware Workstation 6.5.2 (including VMware Player 2.5.2).

Here is a patch to get their modules to cleanly build on Linux kernel version 2.6.29.

It's a followup from this earlier thread, that was for the earlier 6.5.1 version:

http://communities.vmware.com//thread/202340

The changes between 6.5.1 and 6.5.2 are minimal. VMware, thankfully, no longer attempts to re-define the APIC_BASE_MSR symbol, making one part of the patch no longer necessary on 2.6.29, so it has been removed. That was what was causing the earlier error: the patch was attempting to patch something that no longer existed in the code.

Here's the new 6.5.2 patch, and a shellscript to help you apply it, attached.

Make sure your /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source directory is pristine. Reinstall 6.5.2 if you have to, in order to return this directory to its unchanged settings, if you had trouble applying the patch earlier.

Use the bash command to run the script:

bash ./vmware-6.5.2-modules-2.6.29-fix.sh

It should now apply cleanly, and there should be no errors.

Hope this helps!

Josh
