1. Re: WS 12.5.9 has segfault (error 14) on host Linux 4.12.14 kernel
portsample Aug 5, 2018 10:48 AM (in response to portsample)Got it. Here is the most current solution. As root run,
"sed -i '/export PRODUCT_NAME="VMware Workstation"/s/.*/&\nexport VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_LIBS="yes"/' /usr/bin/vmware"
then install Kubecek patch,
"wget https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/archive/workstation-12.5.9.tar.gz
tar -xzf workstation-12.5.9.tar.gz
cd vmware-host-modules-workstation-12.5.9
make
make install"
and
"cd /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libfontconfig.so.1
mv libfontconfig.so.1 libfontconfig.so.1.old
ln -s /usr/lib64/libfontconfig.so.1"
stay tuned. Please let me know if I've missed anything. Best regards to Kubecek for their contribution.
