[SOLVED] Need Help: How to compile VMware Workstation Pro 12 on Fedora 25 KDE

GHOSTIN7HESHELL · 07-04-2017, 06:52 PM

Hello everyone,

I'm came from a Windows background although i also used Linux mint 17.3 for a little while and I'm fairly new to Unix/Linux and decided to conduct a fresh wipe to install fedora to give it a try. So far I really like it. but I have an issue in regards to the installation of workstation 12 compiling on fedora 25 kde. I have read from another post path to kernel header - Ask Fedora: Community Knowledge Base and Support Forum that i needed to install the kernel-devel and gcc packages.

And so I did; however, now it seems according to these two error messages from the vmware kernel module updater is throwing: vmware-3303.log and vmware-9628.log. So take a look under the tmp folder through nano and it seems in the vmware-3303.log that I'm missing the version.h folder/file? Is this whats causing these two errors and workstation 12 pro from compiling correctly? Any help to fix this issue and have WS12 compile properly will be greatly appreciated!

*Note: I have installed the latest kernel 4.11.7-200.fc25.x86_64 and its really bugging out so i reverted back to 4.11.6-201.fc25.x86_64 as it seems more stable.

vmware-3303.log:

ever look into VirtualBox by Oracle?

How to install vmware workstation 12 on Linux Mint 17.3 and what and where to download it

GHOSTIN7HESHELL · 07-16-2017, 09:35 PM

@BW-userx

Yes I have heard of Oracle's Virtual Box hypervisor but I have a full license of Vmware workstation Pro 12 for Linux/Unix. I actually solved my issue and compiled my issue sucessfully on my own. It was that versions below 12.5.7 had a issue with compilation. So I went to the Vmware website and downloaded their latest version for Linux/Unix 64 and it worked.

GHOSTIN7HESHELL · 07-16-2017, 09:59 PM

For those that want to install VMWare workstation pro for Linux/Unix on Fedora 25 the following steps will should help like it helped me:

First you want to go ahead and make sure that you have the latest updates. I'm using Fedora 25 KDE so I will use that particular command line syntax but it should be the same.

1) Open the terminal in root with the sudo -i command. Then to update/upgrade sudo dnf update && dnf upgrade -y

2) Once everything updated go ahead and install your kernel headers and all that jazz so you can use it to compile the VMWare application with command:

sudo dnf install dnf install kernel-headers kernel-devel gcc glibc-headers

3) When that is finished, go ahead to the www.vmware.com website, go to products, vmware workstation pro and choose Linux/Unix 64. Click okay and it will download.

4) Okay so your Vmware application is downloaded into your Downloads folder. At this point I suggest to reboot/restart your Fedora environment. You can do this through the terminal with sudo reboot command or where the start menu just restart.

5) When your computer arrives at the boot up screen where it displays the kernels, go ahead choose the latest.

6) alright so you should be on your Fedora Desktop. Go ahead and navigate to your Downloads folder with the change directory command like so:

cd /home/

ls

cd "your username"

ls

cd Downloads

ls (Once get to your downloads and you listed it, you will see your vmware installer download. Like in my case it was green and i didnt recall if i had to unzip it. If it isnt (green) meaning its read and you can't execute it use the chmod +x command to make it executable.)

7) use the sh command to install vmware like so:

sh vmware.version.blah.blah

8) Okay so everything should be installed and I can't recall if the Vmware pop up yet but I did once last thing in the terminal. I dont know if its necessary but I have use the vmware modconfig command. which fixed my issue:

vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

9) Okay so go find Vmware workstation pro 12.5.7 in your start menu or apps and it should appear. Click it, and install it. It should compile and work. Install some virtual machines and have fun! I hope this helps you guys!

got a keep up with them updates - you're using VMware, if it is that other one - I tried it and it was a memory hog. it may not have been workstation but I know it was not Oracle's Virtual Box, it was the other one. this was when I was playing around with VM's

@BW-userx

Yeah I always update my machine and applications everyday as it is a habit of mine. To be completely honest I have not experience any memory resource hog of any kind and I run multiple virtual machines on my network. Currently I have one Windows VM open and I took a screen shot to give you a general idea of how much memory it uses. As you can see Fedora KDE is doing a great job maintaining that virtual machine. Now that being said this is the only virtual machine I have on my host. All the others are on my switch, which is completely different because if you dont have a fast connection and lots of processing power, things can get hectic especially if your runnings 100's or 1000s at a time. I don't know how much memory you may have on your system but usually when I think to have the cap limit on my computer RAM like in my case 32 gbs. It could be different for you. You can try other VM hypervisors like Citrix XenServer, VMware EXSI Vsphere, Microsoft Hyper-V and Kernel based virtual machine (KVM). Also try terminal emulators as well like VNC(virtual network computing).
