Vmware Player 14.0 on Arch Linux kernel 4.14

Sun, Jan 14, 2018

VMware is slow, really slow, at updating their software to support newer linux kernel releases. I just found this vmware modules for linux on github. It’s a really cool repo with the patches already applied for the relevant vmware version to work with the latest kernel. I downloaded the zip file, created a tar ball of vmmon and copied that to /lib/vmware/modules/sources/ then ran my custom vmware-modupgrade script. Worked perfectly.
