Hi,   yes I tried that way, but it gave me an error. sudo systemctl enable vmware.service [sudo] password for root: vmware.service is not a native service, redirecting to systemd-sysv-install. Executing: /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable vmware /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install: line 31: chkconfig: command not found   I tried to install chkconfig with zypper or YAST, but it didn't find a provider for that package. I didn't investigate more because the workaround was enough for my needs.  I noticed that some distros left out chkconfig and I guess Tumbleweed is one of them, I think OpenSUSE Leap is still using it tho.    

hi wila,   thank you... that was the problem. In SUSE tumbleweed the vmware service doesn't start at boot, I don't know why but also using YAST I can't do that. Anyway, everytime I need the workstation I run manually    sudo systemctl start vmware.service    and it works. Now I updated the script:   sudo systemctl start vmware.service sudo vmware-usbarbitrator    and now I can see the usb devices in removable devices. Also note that I can see the mouse and keyboards devices only in the VMs where I modified the vmx like in the KB guides. I think that the services problem have to do with the kernel... I'm running 5.10.16-1-default by now, while in the OpenSUSE 15.2 I have not services problem and it is running the 5.3.18-lp152.63-default kernel. I hope this informations will be of any help to someone else. Manually run a script every time i boot is not ideal, but it works.     Thank you for your help.

Hi wila,   thank you for the answer. I followed that, and other, guides.  I did all the steps, but nothing changed. For example in the steps: Go to VM > Removable Devices. Find and select your keyboard/mouse.   In the Removable devices I can read only: Network Adapter Printer Sound Card   When i changed the .vmx the VM was turned off.   Thank you!
