Cannot Compile VMWare Workstation Modul after Upgrade Kernel 5.14.9?

Ask Fedora

13

I think the links above should solve the problem but here are more specific instructions since kernel 5.13 will soon be EOL if it isn’t already.

First boot onto the latest kernel and ensure that git is installed. Then run these commands

git clone https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules.git
cd vmware-host-modules
git checkout workstation-16.1.2
make
sudo make install
sudo systemctl restart vmware.service

If you are running a different version of vmware replace workstation-16.1.12 with your specific version.
