If copy and paste does not work, you may need to install gtkmm3 and re-boot.
Ensure you are using Xorg as Wayland has some limitations.
vmware-user-suid-wrapper depends on gtkmm, but it's not a required dependency of the package. See: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/43159

Message definition (VMware)
Archlinux kernels follow the release schedule on kernel.org and on Manjaro you will need to use the same kernel versions which - at the time of writing in March 2021 - is (check with https://kernel.org if in doubt)
* '''Linux 5.10.x (LTS)'''
* '''Linux 5.11.x (mainline)'''
Using other kernels - like 5.4LTS - will most likely fail.
=== Building steps ===
1. Update your system and install the necessary build tools
{{UserCmd|command=sudo pacman -Syu git base-devel --needed}}
2. Then check your kernel version(s) - example - remember to use the same version as Arch
{{UserCmd|command=mhwd-kernel -li}}
3. Then install the headers for your kernel(s) and dkms. Substitute ''$KERNELXYY'' with your currently running kernel
{{UserCmd|command=sudo pacman -Syu $KERNELXYY-headers dkms}}
4. Clone the PKGBUILKD script
{{UserCmd|command=git clone <nowiki> https://aur.archlinux.org/vmware-workstation.git</nowiki> ~/vmware-workstation}}
5. Familiarize yourself with the content - it is all text files and you should read them and verify what they are doing.
{{UserCmd|command=ls ~/vmware-workstation}}
6. When you are satisfied - cd into the folder
{{UserCmd|command=cd ~/vmware-workstation}}
7. Run makepkg to install dependencies, build and install the package.
{{UserCmd|command=makepkg -is}}
The installer will write messages in the terminal on what to do next - follow the directions to load the kernel modules and enable vmware network service and usb service as needed.
{{UserCmd|command=sudo modprobe -a vmw_vmci vmmon}}
=== Optional services ===
There are three services that can be optionally be enabled:
* vmware-networks.service: Provides network access inside VMs, most people will want this enabled
* vmware-usbarbitrator.service: Allows USB devices to be connected inside VMs
* vmware-hostd.service: Enables sharing of VMs on the network
To start and enable vmware network
{{UserCmd|command=sudo systemctl enable --now vmware-networks.service}}
To start and enable usb passthrough
{{UserCmd|command=sudo systemctl enable --now vmware-usbarbitrator.service}}
To start and enable the sharing of a virtual machine
{{UserCmd|command=sudo systemctl enable --now vmware-hostd.service}}
== Installing Manjaro under VMWare ==

Archlinux kernels follow the release schedule on kernel.org and on Manjaro you will need to use the same kernel versions which - at the time of writing in March 2021 - is (check with https://kernel.org if in doubt)

  • Linux 5.10.x (LTS)
  • Linux 5.11.x (mainline)

Using other kernels - like 5.4LTS - will most likely fail.

Building steps

1. Update your system and install the necessary build tools

user $ sudo pacman -Syu git base-devel --needed COPY TO CLIPBOARD


2. Then check your kernel version(s) - example - remember to use the same version as Arch

user $ mhwd-kernel -li COPY TO CLIPBOARD


3. Then install the headers for your kernel(s) and dkms. Substitute $KERNELXYY with your currently running kernel

user $ sudo pacman -Syu $KERNELXYY-headers dkms COPY TO CLIPBOARD


4. Clone the PKGBUILKD script

user $ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/vmware-workstation.git ~/vmware-workstation COPY TO CLIPBOARD


5. Familiarize yourself with the content - it is all text files and you should read them and verify what they are doing.

user $ ls ~/vmware-workstation COPY TO CLIPBOARD


6. When you are satisfied - cd into the folder

user $ cd ~/vmware-workstation COPY TO CLIPBOARD


7. Run makepkg to install dependencies, build and install the package.

user $ makepkg -is COPY TO CLIPBOARD


The installer will write messages in the terminal on what to do next - follow the directions to load the kernel modules and enable vmware network service and usb service as needed.

user $ sudo modprobe -a vmw_vmci vmmon COPY TO CLIPBOARD


Optional services

There are three services that can be optionally be enabled:

  • vmware-networks.service: Provides network access inside VMs, most people will want this enabled
  • vmware-usbarbitrator.service: Allows USB devices to be connected inside VMs
  • vmware-hostd.service: Enables sharing of VMs on the network

To start and enable vmware network

user $ sudo systemctl enable --now vmware-networks.service COPY TO CLIPBOARD


To start and enable usb passthrough

user $ sudo systemctl enable --now vmware-usbarbitrator.service COPY TO CLIPBOARD


To start and enable the sharing of a virtual machine

user $ sudo systemctl enable --now vmware-hostd.service COPY TO CLIPBOARD


Installing Manjaro under VMWare

There are no special requirements to installing Manjaro on VMWare. open-vmware-tools is pre-installed. It should "just work"
