Hi, working with Vmware is always a pain every kernel release it has problem, I suggest to you try other Virtualization Platform:

gnome-boxes (installed by default)
qemu
kvm
libvirt
virtualbox.

You can find more info here → Redirect Notice
How to begin on it…

First try to install

sudo dnf install kernel-devel kernel-headers gcc gcc-c++ make

and start again… If this doesn’t works is a configuration problem… see my comment…

COMMENT

The problem here is always the same vmnet and vmmon doesn’t start well or doesn’t start at all, find a PATCH deal with changes in vmmon.c and vmnet.c because something breaks or add some parameters to that files or modify and IF, I suggest to you follow this Step:

know what is your kernel version?: uname -r.
know your Vmware version or install the latest if you don’t have it, this don’t guarantee that you don’t find any issues.
Try to find the PATCH for a specific KERNEL version and Vmware.
You have to deal with sources (vmnet and vmmon) and apply fixed in both of them.
Try to find the fix for the specific product Vmware and Kernel version, other fix that works before don’t guarantee to resolve your problem…

Hello @vintx64
Here on Ask Fedora there are a couple of posts related to VMware. You could see if they describe the same issue.
In any case, what the log file says?

Could you please try this first:

https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/vmware-unable-to-start-services/73066

Maybe you don’t have the package to compile vmware kernel, Install the packaged described there, if this doesn’t work see my comment…

Regards.,

alciregi · June 18, 2019, 9:43pm

OK. But let’s say the last time you tried to start VMware, the last error log reported, it actually exists in the reported path, is it?

vintx64 · June 18, 2019, 11:13pm

Thanks for the logs.
Did you check that all the packages suggested in this reply https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/vmware-unable-to-start-services/73066/2, are installed?

sudo dnf install kernel-devel kernel-headers gcc gcc-c++ make

I can’t be more precise, since I don’t use VMware.

hhlp · June 19, 2019, 7:29am

The message indicate you that , You don’t install those packed

Everytime you run a new log is generated, with the same message.

Here are the patch for your problem:

Solved: fedora 30 kernel 5.1 vmmon fail to biuld

GitHub - mkubecek/vmware-host-modules: Patches needed to build VMware (Player and Workstation) host modules against recent kernels
Info → Commits · mkubecek/vmware-host-modules · GitHub

Procedure:

Quick guide for impatient

First method (build and install):

  wget https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/archive/workstation-15.1.0.tar.gz
  tar -xzf workstation-15.1.0.tar.gz
  cd vmware-host-modules-workstation-15.1.0
  make
  make install

Last command must be executed with root privileges (first four shouldn’t).

thanks. also works for vmware workstation 15.0.2 build-10952284 + fedora 30 x64

estmnd1 · August 13, 2019, 3:42pm

I’m trying to install vmware workstation 15.1 on Fedora 30 but I’m unable to install some of the modules. I was able to do a workaround on the vmmon and vmnet modules by a patch but there’s still two of then, vmci and vsock, that won’t compile.

Here’s the log of the installation
