Hello, I'm running a fresh install of Ubantu LTS 22.04.2 on Dell XPS intel 12th gen, secure boot enabled. First step to getting VMware WS pro 17 to work, Sign the vmmon module: Sign the vmmon module: A. Generate a signing key by running the following command: openssl req -new -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout MOK.priv -outform DER -out MOK.der -nodes -days 36500 -subj "/CN=My Name/" This will create two files MOK.priv and MOK.der. B. Sign the vmmon module by running the following command: sudo /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/scripts/sign-file sha256 ./MOK.priv ./MOK.der $(modinfo -n vmmon) C. Register the key with Secure Boot by running the following command: sudo mokutil --import MOK.der reboot, re-enroll. Secure Boot self-sign complete. ------- Now my vmware VMs can boot up however networking still isn't working, no virtual adapters are showing up. things I've tried: sudo nmcli networking on sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) sudo apt-get install gcc make sudo vmware-installer -u vmware-workstation sudo vmware-installer -i vmware-workstation sudo nmcli networking on NOTE* when running > sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all ----> (This command will rebuild and install all VMware kernel modules, including the network adapter module.) Starting VMware services: Virtual machine monitor failed Virtual machine communication interface done VM communication interface socket family done Virtual ethernet failed VMware Authentication Daemon done Unable to start services It seems like VMware is unable to start up certain services pertaining to its networking functionality. This should be an easy endeavor, im on a clean install of ubantu LTS 22.04.2 and officially supported Dell hardware, this should be almost plug and play what am i getting wrong here? can someone please help me.... when running this command it gives me the following output in at the end of its execution. its possible i have to sign additional modules, so for i've only signed vmmon, its possible the network adapter has its own module that needs to be signed if thats the case please let me know how to go about that step by step, it took 3 lines of code to get vmmon signed and running, its possible i have to concatenate the other modules to the original secure boot self sign. Unfortunately disabling secure boot in not an option, i need this running with secure boot enabled.
