  I’m attempting to install VMWare Workstation on RHEL 8.3 and running into some issues. I’ll attach an install log below.   To install, I’m simply downloading the latest vmware bundle file and installing via Putty. I have also attempted to install via GUI. Once the install is completed, I try to launch VMWare Workstation and get prompted to compile the kernel, when I do, it errors out. So I attempted to run sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all which resulted in the log below.     $ sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all [AppLoader] GLib does not have GSettings support. Stopping vmware (via systemctl): [ OK ] make: Entering directory '/tmp/modconfig-FWn6A2/vmmon-only' Using kernel build system. /bin/make -C /lib/modules/4.18.0-305.3.1.el8_4.x86_64/build/include/..

Guys, We are having issues where some of our developers are unable to run Workstation 16. We are receiving the “VMware Workstation and Device/Credential Guard are not compatible” error. We have followed the steps here: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2146361 but no VM will launch. We are running Windows 10 Enterprise 1909. Hyper-V was not enabled, and we Disabled the “Turn On Virtualization Security” under Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System. Reboot, and same issue on all machines. If we click Start > System information, it looks like credential guard is still enabled. (see attachment). Do you all have any ideas?  

We are trying to get VMWare Workstation 16.1 running on CentOS 7 running kernel 5.10.6-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64. We are having to use this kernel so our Dell Latitude 5411's see the wifi adapter. If we select kernel 3.10.0-1160.11.1.el7.x86_64 VMWare Workstation 16.1 launches successfully. If we run Workstation 16 with the elrepo kernel, we get the error about gcc version 9.3.1 not found. I have installed the elrepo kernel headers with this command: yum --enablerepo=elrepo-kernel install kernel-ml-devel After installing successfully, I'm not able to launch Workstation as it asks about gcc.    $ vmware-modconfig --console --install-all [AppLoader] GLib does not have GSettings support. Failed to get gcc information.   Is it possible to run Workstation 16.1 with the elrepo kernel? Thanks!          

We are testing CentOS 8 (4.18.0-193.28.1.el8_2.x86_64) and VMWare Workstation 16.0.0-16894299 for our environment.  However, Workstation keeps wanting to roll back the install.  All the virtualization settings look correct in the BIOS.  Also, this has happened on two test machines so its not an isolated incident.      $ sudo sh ./VMware-Workstation-Full-16.0.0-16894299.x86_64.bundle Extracting VMware Installer...done.

Guys, After updating to RHEL 7.4 (3.10.0-693.el7.x86_64), Workstation is unable to start.  We get the "unable to start services" error.  Its the same error we got previously as mentioned in this thread: RHEL 6.8 64bit kernel update breaks Workstation However, the "fix" suggested by ElCoyote_ is not working for us now: Re: RHEL 6.8 64bit kernel update breaks Workstation Our workaround right now is to boot to a previous kernel, then run the "fix" mentioned above.  That gets our users back up and running. Do you all have any suggestions for Workstation to start while booted with this kernel - 3.10.0-693.el7.x86_64 ? Thanks

Guys, We have some new RHEL 7 machines (3.10.0-514.16.1.el7.x86_64) that we're having XRDP/Workstation 12 issues with. I use Windows 7 64bit Remote Desktop to connect to a RHEL 7 machine via XRDP, but when I start a VM, I get this error: The VM powers on, but all I see is a blank grey screen (like whats behind the error messages above).  Now, if I login locally I see the VM fine, but over XRDP we cannot view VM's. Whats crazy is if I pause the VM, the preview window will show the regular "CTRL ALT DEL" screen which is our normal login window. Is this a Workstation thing or a XRDP issue? The XRDP version is: xrdp-0.9.1-5.el7.x86_64 Thanks

Guys, What is the proper syntax for a silent install of Workstation Pro 12.5.4 (Windows 7 64bit host)? If I have a script that says: \\path\to\vm\installer /s /v/qn EULAS_AGREED=1 AUTOSOFTWAREUPDATE=0 REBOOT=ReallySuppress SERIALNUMBER="xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx" It will create VMWare folder under C:\Program Files (x86) and put the icon on the desktop, but then at the last second it deletes the entire VMware folder from this directory. Thanks for any info.

Guys, My setup is Win7 64bit host with a  2.6.32-642.el6.x86_64 (RHEL 64bit 6.8) VM running on Workstation 11.1.2. FYI We have multiple users with the same issue. I am not sure if its the latest RHEL kernel update or bad timing, but it seems like this started after we updated the kernel last week. The issue is when we click on the Monitor Layout button in Workstation, we cannot span across 2 monitors anymore. When we do click the monitor layout button and select "Layout 2", the mouse pointer seems to think its further right than it really is.  Every mouse action is further right than where the mouse really is.  The desktop does not extend to monitor 2 either. When we switch back to Layout 1, it goes back to normal. Is this video driver related? We tried uninstall/install VMWare Tools as well as uninstalling/reinstalling Workstation but got the same behavior. Thanks for any input.
