Rebuilding service modules after install

cd /tmp

sudo tar -xvf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source-11.1.0/vmmon.tar

cd vmmon-only/

sudomake

cp vmmon.ko /lib/modules/2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64/misc/vmmon.ko

sudo modprobe vmmon



cd /tmp

sudo tar -xvf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source-11.1.0/vmci.tar

cd vmci-only/

sudo make

cp vmci.ko /lib/modules/2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64/misc/vmci.ko

sudo modprobe vmci

Fix services (Arch Linux)

This section contains troubleshooting topics particular to running SteamOS on VMware Workstation, or quirks for the Linux program in generalI did this before running into the next section. Until I can load Arch Linux on a separate machine or VM, I am not quite sure if it required. The following cna only be done after VMware Workstation is installed. Please take tnoe that your kernel version and directory may be different from mine.You need to open the file /etc/init.d/vmware fie using your favorite text editor. Of course please backup the file first. Then find the function vmwareStartVmci() under that function definitionYou see the module definition referring to $mod and not vmci which is the required module. We need to change that.Change this line toThen Navigate to the other functionYou see the module definition referring to $mod and not vsock which is the required module. We need to change that.Change this line toNow we need to find the corresponding Module Unload functionstotoOnce done I would suggest reboot your machine although not necessary. After a reboot, please check that the services now start correctly:Now you can see VMware workstation works fine and you are able to power on your virtual machines, and connect to network fine.201504043.19.2-1-ARCH
