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?

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

If you get this Error in VMware Workstation Pro 15.5:

Unrecoverable Error buffer to small

sudo -i
export LC_ALL=C
bash VMware-Workstation-Full-15.5.0-14665864.x86_64.bundle --eulas-agreed --custom

which should fix the “Buffer too small / unrecoverable error” issue

However, as it seems, that is STILL not enough to have a working installation of VMware WS. So (again as root ) you will probably have to do

sudo -i
chmod a+r /etc/vmware/config
