I am currently running Vmware Workstation Pro 14 on Fedora 28. Whenever I try to open an ovf/ova file it fails. The GUI does not give any indication as to why this might be, and instead silently fails. I checked the vmware-ui logs and found the below: log file: /tmp/vmware-user/vmware-ui-4479.log 2018-08-06T12:40:47.635+01:00| vmui| I125: Spawning OVFTool: 2018-08-06T12:40:47.635+01:00| vmui| I125+ '--machineOutput' '--X:logFile=/tmp/vmware-user/ovftool.log' '--X:logLevel=verbose' '--allowExtraConfig' '/run/media/user/NS Linux/VM/kali-linux-2018.2-vm-amd64.ova' 2018-08-06T12:40:47.690+01:00| vmui| I125: OVFTool::OnExit 2018-08-06T12:40:47.690+01:00| vmui| W115: OVFTool::OnUnexpectedExit: Unknown error with output: 2018-08-06T12:40:47.690+01:00| vmui| W115: 2018-08-06T12:40:48.489+01:00| vmui| I125: Spawning OVFTool: 2018-08-06T12:40:48.489+01:00| vmui| I125+ '--machineOutput' '--X:logFile=/tmp/vmware-user/ovftool.log' '--X:logLevel=verbose' '--allowExtraConfig' '/run/media/user/NS Linux/VM/kali-linux-2018.2-vm-amd64.ova' 2018-08-06T12:40:48.539+01:00| vmui| I125: OVFTool::OnExit 2018-08-06T12:40:48.539+01:00| vmui| W115: OVFTool::OnUnexpectedExit: Unknown error with output: 2018-08-06T12:40:48.539+01:00| vmui| W115: The referenced log file 'tmp/vmware-user/ovftool.log' does not exist on my machine though. Has anybody else experienced this issue or have any suggestions that might help me fix it? Many thanks in advance.
