Hi, I've installed VMware in Arch from AUR:
I Installed all the dependencies(fuse2 gtkmm linux-headers pcsclite libcanberra ncurse5). Then:
yay -S --noconfirm --needed vmware-workstation
Then I enable and started those: $ vmware-networks.service vmware-usbarbitrator.service vmware-hostd.service
and whenver I verify the Network service and hostd.service i got these errors:
$ sudo systemctl status vmware-networks.service vmware-hostd.service
yoncho@ ~]$ sudo systemctl status vmware-networks.service vmware-usbarbitrator.service vmware-hostd.service

I got error

I'm missing something in the installation? I'd like to know what's the reason its failing the network. I followed the https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VMware and https://computingforgeeks.com/install-vmware-workstation-on-arch-linux-manjaro/ .I've always installed VMware in Windows before and use VMware with no problem. I'll colaborate giving information.
