1.- Not Secure Boot Enable

uname -r

6.17.12-300.fc43.x86_64

Dependencies:

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

2.- execute in terminal:

grep player.product.version /etc/vmware/config

3.- Output

player.product.version = “17.6.4”
product.buildNumber = "24832109"

4.- Execute in terminal, to compile vmware modules which are not build by default:

sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

and paste here the error if you get one.

5.- If you have Secure Boot Enable you need to sign the modules after compiling.

a.- How to check is Secure Boot is enable:

mokutil --sb-state
