Hello, Not sure now, or because system crashes and then I have reinstalled my OS on host but with same user configuration and when trying to start VM have two error messages after that vm back in shut-down state. I have all permissions for files. "Failed to lock the file Cannot open the disk '/home/xx/x.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disk is depends on." "Failed to lock the file Cannot open the disk'/home/xx/x-000004.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on. Module 'Disk' power on failed. Failed to start the virtual machine." I don't really want to delete snapshots to try if its working without. Any solutions? Any help would be appreciated. Workstation Pro v14 Opensuse

Hi, Just want to say thanks for VMware Workstation (Linux) team for building usable product.. I'm newcomer from Windows desktop, decided to use OpenSUSE Leap and used to have problems with  previous (12) version of Workstation Pro on my system.. But after upgrading it looks like it works properly this time. Kernel 4.4.92-31. Thanks again.

I think for those who searched for it they found it, but in case someone missed  would like to share how I worked around when  Workstation Pro not allow 3D acceleration for guest machines. I'm running Intel i7, AMD HD6450, openSUSE Leap 42.3 with out from the box AMD graphic drivers, kernel 4.4.87-25-default, VMware Workstation Pro12.5.7 build-5813279. Messages like: "Hardware graphics acceleration is not available. As a result, this virtual machine may experience very low graphics performance. Follow the instructions provided by your graphics card vendor or Linux distribution in order to update your computer's OpenGL drivers." "No 3D support is available from the host. The 3D features of the virtual machine will be disabled." Solution listed here drivers - No 3d support is available from the host, on all VMware guests - Ask Ubuntu After editing and adding a line mks.gl.allowBlacklistedDrivers = "TRUE" in the VM's .vmx file. No more such a error messages pop up when starting VMs. I seen in some posts that some folks have problems with it and VMs freezing, but not in my case. P.s. also I'm creating this post to log my personal problem solving.

Hello community, I'm quite "green" in linux world. Yesterday finally I did moved form Win10 in to OpenSUSE Leap 42.3. I did row of test on my spare PC with OpenSUSE 42.3 and VMware-Workstation-Full-12.5.7-5813279.x86_64.bundle install and not counting this problem that addressed in here https://communities.vmware.com/message/2692989#2692989 witch was easy to solve and all was OK. But finally I have reinstalled my main workstation and I've got different problem. When I do try to start Workstation or Player I've such a window popping out "VMware Kernel Module Updater Before you can run VMware, severel, modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel. Kernel Headers 4.4.79-19-default" Any ideas? Thank you for any reply. Will attach screenshot below.
