Installing VMWare Workstation on Manjaro
IMPORTANT
Install vmware-workstation
The AUR package vmware-workstation will install VMWare Workstation and the dkms modules needed to run it.
It can be installed with:
pamac build vmware-workstation
After installing, either reboot, or load the required modules
sudo modprobe -a vmw_vmci vmmon
Start and enable 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 these services use:
sudo systemctl enable --now vmware-networks.service sudo systemctl enable --now vmware-usbarbitrator.service sudo systemctl enable --now vmware-hostd.service
Installing Manjaro under VMWare
There are no special requirements to installing Manjaro on VMWare. open-vmware-tools is pre-installed. It should "just work"
Copy and Paste
If copy and paste does not work, you may need to install gtkmm3 and re-boot. vmware-user-suid-wrapper depends on gtkmm, but it's not a required dependency of the package. See: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/43159
