Sorry, I remembered that it is a well-known Problem and the solution will be in connection with the kubecek patch. I tried to solve, but ran in new troubles. Now I will make a fresh install of my system. Best solution would be to delete this thread, but I can't, even there is no anser until now. Best regards, Holger

Good evening (here in Germany ...) I tried to install vmware workstation on my Suse SLED without success.  Of course, I have the kernel headers and kernel-source installed. Because I need a lot of apps, I needed to enable a lot of foreign repositories,  so my installation may be not so clean. But all other stuff is working fine. I attached the logfile to this post.   I think, the first odd message is: Failed to find /lib/modules/5.3.18-24.96-default/build/include/linux/version.h I looked there, and  yes these file is not there. On my second PC (also SLED 15 SP2) Workstation Player is running, all runs well, i llooked there, yes there is also not this file ,version.h' at this location.   Has anybody experience with Suse and this problem? Greetings, Holger

Hello! I moved my Windows-7 guest from Vmware Workstation Player 15.5.7 on Suse Linux SLED 15 SP2 on a  machine with a Radeon graphics to Vmware Workstation Player 16.2.1 on Windows 10 home 64 bit on a machine with Nvidia graphics.   All went fine. But after updating the vmware tools, my PTC Creo 3.0, which is running on the Win7 Guest, has severe Graphics Problems in such way, that it is no longer usable.   If I disable 3D acceleration, the graphics problems are gone, but than of course is the machine to slow. What can I do? It are my plans to use my PTC Creo license until I go to grave, I think at least next 30 years on the virtual Win7-machine, and of course I thought, the machine will all times keep the same conditions.   Greetings, Holger

Sorry the silence. But the problem has dissapeared .... I don't know why.. Greetings and thank you! Holger

Hello While installation of vmware player i got the message: ... Extracting VMware Installer...done. Installing VMware VMX 15.5.2 Copying files... Configuring... No rc*.d style init script directories were given to the installer. You must manually add the necessary links to ensure that the vmware service at /etc/init.d/vmware is automatically started and stopped on startup and shutdown. Installing VMware Virtual Printer 1.0 Copying files... ... If I try to start a virtual machine, I get the error: Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory. Please make sure that the kernel module `vmmon' is loaded. I can go (as root) to the Suse yast2 service-manager and start the service 'vmware' manually. Than all runs fine up to the next reboot of the host system. But I can not set the service to the start mode ,on boot' If I try, I get the error message (in suse yast2 service manager): Writing the configuration failed: Could not set 'vmware' to be started on boot. So I think, it is obviously a problem of the method, which suse uses to start and stop services. What can I do? Greetings, Holger

Hi I'm using actually VMware Workstation 15Pro (Version 15.0.4) on CentOS 7. Guest is Win 7. Win 7 is able to communicate with my LAN via NAT. My files are stored at some synology disc stations attached to the LAN. The shares are mounted at Win 7 as network drives All went well many years. Since some time (I think maybe since 2020) I have problems with saving from my main apps. SR1 (Software for calculation of screws), ANSYS 2019, and PTC Creo 3.0 When I try to save, I get different error messages. (failed to safe, check permissions, not valid file name (but its not true), check space) I'm able to write to D (its a vmware drive) and copy later to my samba share, but thats not a good solution... VMware Tools are also up to date. I have no problems to write to the NAS from my host system (centos 7) or to write to the NAS from another PC, on which runs Win7. What may be the reason? What can I do? Greetings, Holger Edit: It looks so, that the problem arises, if I try to overwrite an existing file. Greetings

Hello, I run Win 7 as a guest on vmware workstation on centos 7 Sometimes, my mouse is making trouble. Pointer is moving, but no chance to make a click .... Keyboard is working, I am able to open a shell and i.e. to run vmrun list. Is there a way to shutdown my guest system regularly? (To send ctrl-alt-del to it?) Greetings, Holger

Hello! I have running windows 7 on Workstation 14 pro on Centos 7.6. I use it for powerful  CAD (PTC Creo, ANSYS pre and postprocessing) I know, there are some threads here dealing with this aim (folder sharing), but I tried some proposed solutions without success, other threads are very old. Working with mapped network drives runs very fine. But now, I want to work outside my office without network For this aim, I synced my shares using rsync to my host system (CentOS). Then I tried to use them at my guest system windows via ,Folder Sharing' It works, but very, very slowly. That is no solution for me. At my windows system, Kaspersky is also running. I don't want to stop it, because I have no virus scanner at linux, and so, the windows system should scan my files. I have seen, that the velocity of ,Folder Sharing' is a very old problem here. Is there no solution until now? Greetings, H.Steffen

Hello I want to install vmware player on CentOS 7.5 I have updated the kernel using elrepo to uname -sr Linux 4.18.3-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 All headers are installed: yum list installed |  grep kernel abrt-addon-kerneloops.x86_64          2.1.11-50.el7.centos       @anaconda      kernel.x86_64                         3.10.0-862.el7             @anaconda      kernel.x86_64                         3.10.0-862.9.1.el7         @updates       kernel.x86_64                         3.10.0-862.11.6.el7        @updates       kernel-ml.x86_64                      4.18.3-1.el7.elrepo        @elrepo-kernel kernel-ml-devel.x86_64                4.18.5-1.el7.elrepo        @elrepo-kernel kernel-ml-headers.x86_64              4.18.5-1.el7.elrepo        @elrepo-kernel kernel-ml-tools.x86_64                4.18.5-1.el7.elrepo        @elrepo-kernel kernel-ml-tools-libs.x86_64           4.18.5-1.el7.elrepo        @elrepo-kernel after the update, I installed the amd graphics driver for radeon rx580 using amdgpu-install Installation of vmwae player went well. At first start of vmware player, I get the message, that he can't find the headers. But the headers are installed!!! cd /usr/src/kernels ls -la drwxr-xr-x.  3 root root   40 Aug 26 15:28 . drwxr-xr-x.  6 root root   78 Aug 26 15:07 .. drwxr-xr-x. 23 root root 4096 Aug 26 15:27 4.18.5-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 What ist the matter? Greetings, Holger

Hello iRunner2016, thank you for your effort first. Sorry, what must I do? My default gcc version is 4.9.2. Should I downgrade to 4.8.5 ? How?
