Hi,

That would suggest that the usbarbitrator service is either not running or not working correctly.

You're not alone, I see somebody else having issues here:
https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Workstation-Player/Cannot-detect-USB-devices-cannot-start-v...

But that's on Arch, not Suse.

First thing is to check if that service is running.
