If you’re ready then execute “sudo bash vmware.15.0.kernel.5.0.sh”Īs you can see at the end of the script you’ll either get the output of “systemctl status vmware” if the patch and build worked or a “failed” message if not. Download the three files you need as follows:.There are two C source files that need to be fixed up: Review the bash shell script so that you know what it’s doing. The unpatched, original tar files are saved with “unpatched” appended and if these already exist are moved back to their original names. Please note that VMware Workstation Player 15 has support for Red Hat Linux 8 from build 15.1.0 build-13591040 on wards. It will stop if applying a patch fails and also handles running the script multiple times. I’ve updated the vmware.15.0.3.kernel.5.0.3.sh script and renamed it to vmware.15.0.kernel.5.0.sh.VMware just released 15.0.4 and the patches appear to work for 15.0.4 as well.I’ll test as soon as it’s available via dnf. Kernel 5.0.4 is out and I don’t expect there to be a difference.I installed it and it’s working straight out the box. VMware Workstation 15.1.0 Pro and VMware Workstation 15.1.0 Player Open Source Components. Looks like VMware Workstation release 15.1.0 does not need these patches. The patch of hostif.c could be better but I wanted to get this published ASAP. I dug around and figured out how to patch the VMware kernel modules and it appears to work. VMware Workstation and Player won’t compile on a Linux system, e.g., Fedora 29, running the new kernel 5.0.3.
