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_17
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:
