I've just upgraded to the 4.12.14 Linux kernel (openSuse 15.0) and am unable to start WS v12.5.9. The error message is,
"vmware-modconfi[4626]: segfault at 7950 ip 0000000000007950sp 00007ffd7597ee08 error 14 in apploader[55798bc03000+ad000]"
Host processor is Intel Penryn 2.8ghz Core 2 Duo. Thanks in advance.
Got it. Here is the most current solution. As root run,
"sed -i '/export PRODUCT_NAME="VMware Workstation"/s/.*/&\nexport VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_LIBS="yes"/' /usr/bin/vmware"
then install Kubecek patch,
"wget https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/archive/workstation-12.5.9.tar.gz
tar -xzf workstation-12.5.9.tar.gz
cd vmware-host-modules-workstation-12.5.9
make
make install"
and
"cd /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libfontconfig.so.1
mv libfontconfig.so.1 libfontconfig.so.1.old
ln -s /usr/lib64/libfontconfig.so.1"
stay tuned. Please let me know if I've missed anything. Best regards to Kubecek for their contribution.
