I have installed "VMware-Player-Full-17.0.2-21581411.x86_64" on Debian 13 trixie (testing) with kernel "6.3.0-1-amd64" according https://wiki.debian.org/VMware#VMware_Workstation_Pro.2FPlayer_1   i installed vmnet and vmmon modules by hand as root cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source tar xvf vmnet.tar cd vmnet-only make cd .. tar xvf vmmon.tar cd vmmon-only make cd .. cp vmmon.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/misc/vmmon.ko cp vmnet.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/misc/vmnet.ko depmod -a service vmware restart The final command freezes, service vmware restart I also tried the command sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all and i get these errors [AppLoader] GLib does not have GSettings support. Stopping VMware services: VMware Authentication Daemon done Virtual machine monitor done modprobe: FATAL: Module vmnet is in use. rmmod: ERROR: Module vmnet is in use Unable to stop services If i try to unload vmnet module from the kernel i get these user@laptop:~$ sudo modprobe -r vmnet modprobe: FATAL: Module vmnet is in use. How to stop vmnet from being in use and install again vmware modules with sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all ? In my vmware machines i do not have networking nor NAT nor Bridged due to vmnet freeze 3. dmesg gives: sudo dmesg | grep vmnet [ 8.856687] traps: Missing ENDBR: init_module+0x0/0x110 [vmnet] [ 8.856760] RIP: 0010:init_module+0x0/0x110 [vmnet] [ 8.856774] ? __pfx_init_module+0x10/0x10 [vmnet] [ 8.856779] ? __pfx_init_module+0x10/0x10 [vmnet] [ 8.856818] Modules linked in: vmnet(OE+) vmw_vsock_vmci_transport vsock vmw_vmci vmmon(OE) ccm cmac algif_hash algif_skcipher af_alg qrtr bnep binfmt_misc nls_ascii nls_cp437 vfat fat snd_ctl_led snd_soc_skl_hda_dsp snd_soc_intel_hda_dsp_common snd_soc_hdac_hdmi snd_sof_probes snd_hda_codec_hdmi snd_hda_codec_realtek uvcvideo snd_hda_codec_generic videobuf2_vmalloc uvc videobuf2_memops ledtrig_audio videobuf2_v4l2 videodev snd_soc_dmic videobuf2_common snd_sof_pci_intel_tgl mc iwlmvm snd_sof_intel_hda_common x86_pkg_temp_thermal intel_powerclamp soundwire_intel soundwire_generic_allocation soundwire_cadence coretemp btusb snd_sof_intel_hda btrtl kvm_intel snd_sof_pci btbcm mac80211 snd_sof_xtensa_dsp btintel btmtk kvm snd_sof bluetooth libarc4 snd_sof_utils snd_soc_hdac_hda snd_hda_ext_core irqbypass snd_soc_acpi_intel_match snd_soc_acpi ghash_clmulni_intel iwlwifi snd_soc_core aesni_intel snd_compress jitterentropy_rng soundwire_bus crypto_simd cryptd cfg80211 snd_hda_intel sha512_ssse3 snd_intel_dspcfg This post is also @Superuser https://superuser.com/questions/1796117/how-to-enable-networking-in-vmware-17-player-and-debian-13-testing-with-kernel-6
