Running two probes simultaneously results in an error

KkGMIG29 — Mon, 10 Sep 2018 02:40:07 GMT

I'm trying to run two probes at the same time, but it results in the following error:

vmware-vprobe: Cannot load script: Error: A general system error occurred: Failed to join lower layer.

Is that the limitation we currently have?

Here is the example command: vprobe -m 1 -m 2 -c 'VMXLoad {printf("Hello world"); exit(); }'

Up-to-date programming reference

Hi everyone, I've recently started to learn vprobes and currently using Vmware Workstation Pro 14.0. I'm curious if there is any up-to-date programming reference? The repository on github looks like hasn't been updated in a while.

Unfortunately, it's not on Windows.

I'm feeling stuck. I've recently installed a new version of VMWare-Player (14.1.1) and it was working fine until now. When I want to start it, the whole OS just freezes, so I can't really debug it. I've tried uninstalling it using "vmware-installer --uninstall-component vmware-player", but it got stuck as well. I've found there is a process in "uninterrupted sleep" state:

17461 pts/1 Dl+ 0:00 /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-app-control -- -l /usr/lib/vmware

Here is what's in a log file:

$ cat /var/log/vmware-installer

My system is:

Any advice is welcomed, maybe I can manually uninstall it somehow?

Sincerely, Dmitry
