VMware workstation 17 pro just broke during an upgrade. This is on Ubuntu 22.04 we are down.

[foxsquirrel]

It could not build the kernel modules because gcc 12.3 was not present, Installed 12.3 and it is another issue it is now unable to install modules error code 1.

[Technogeezer]

Have you tried downloading the mkubecek vmware-host-modules updates for Workstation 17.0.1 and giving them a try?

See https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/blob/master/INSTALL for instructions on how to download them and build. 

[foxsquirrel]

Hello,

Thank you for responding, are those official patches ?. The broken VMware is on a critical workstation so we have a security protocol to adhere to. I will look at them and see if they qualify.

[mkubecek]

No, not official. I have been patching the host modules for years so that I could run Workstation on recent kernels without having to wait for VMware to catch up. And when I started using git to make tracking them easier, it felt natural to publish the repository on Github so that other users don't have to duplicate the work.

[Technogeezer]

If your security protocol won’t let you install @mkubecek patches to try to address this quickly, you may need to consider opening an Service Request (VMware support case) so that VMware can respond to this officially. But be aware that the VMware response may not get you running again quickly 

[NateNateNAte]

With the security protocols...were you mandated to upgrade?  Or can you roll-back to the previous version prior to upgrade?  I would consider doing that (if authorized) while you open a case with VMware.  

And of course save the current logfiles to send with the VMware case.

[foxsquirrel]

I tried support and they sent me to the this forum.

Also had the option to open a support ticket for $49 dollars. They break it with their coding and we are suppose to pay to get it fixed. Logs make it look like it is not an issue that can be fixed by a support ticket.

How can I reverse the kernel upgrade, that might very well be a worse nightmare than losing Workstation 17.

Do you know if I copy the entire folder with the VM onto another machine with an V 17.0 if those vm's can be opened?

I wouldn't hold my breath. VMware lives in the oldschool corporate mindset of explicit list of "supported host systems". For each Workstation version, they have an explicit (and rather short) list of "supported" distributions (and their versions) and that's all they care about. Not about any other version, not about other distributions and least of all about released kernel versions. So until your distribution (or any other with kernel 6.5 or newer) gets on that list with some future update, you cannot expect much from VMware. And if you are running a "rolling" distribution (or are using newer kernel on your own), you are in trouble most of the time.

Which is why I'm maintaining that repository. And also because there are some very old issues that VMware ignores because they are not pressing enough to be impossible to ignore.

@mkubecek I agree with you that the state of VMware’s support of Linux is woefully inadequate. But they do list Ubuntu 22.04 as a supported distribution so you would have an argument that the product is not performing to its documentation.

I do also agree that holding your breath waiting for VMware to act is not a worthwhile action.

I see. Then there should be a chance, as long as the kernel in use is a standard distribution kernel, I guess.

VMware shares blame, but the Linux kernel developers aren't off the hook either. Why do they feel the burning need to change the kernel APIs and compilation systems so often so that software developers have to play catch-up?

That detracts from Linux's boasts that it's an enterprise class solution - and it would not surprise me if that's the reason some distros remain on ancient kernels for the lifecycles of their releases.

That is why we old curmudgeons stay on Debian. 🙂

That did come up today in a meeting. We are reviewing our options regarding VMware. I totally understand things do happen like this and that is not what has tainted the relationship. Its the BS customer support. They break it and expect me to pay, I am old too and have seen many other companies in the past play games like that with the customers. I don't play those games.

Good news

17 pro was installed on another box

$ uname -a
Linux ******* 6.2.0-39-generic #40~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Nov 16 10:53:04 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

17.5 will run on this version.

I was able to transfer a couple vm's to the other machine with 6.2 and got them up and running. That was cool and painless, was not expecting the transfer to be so smooth. Had to use HDD because all the NVMe's did not have enough room. So it might be related to the latency of the HDD??

Update:

Opened and closed 17.5 a few times then while a vm was loading the host froze and had to be power cycled.....

Please read e.g. this document to understand why keeping a "stable API" would be a bad idea.

This has nothing to do with enterprise segment. Enterprise linux distributions stick with a fixed kernel version within a product version and service pack and at least the main two (RHEL and SLE) even keep stable kernel ABI so that not only out of tree modules can be recompiled safely but also binary third party modules built against the distribution kernel won't break with further kernel updates.

But third party module compatibility is not the main reason for keeping the kernel version within product lifetime. The actual reason is that it's exactly what (most of) the customers want. Each version upgrade means regressions; and from customer's point of view, a "regression" is often a change which is in fact desirable in general but it breaks their specific use case. (Some of those use cases are rather crazy which is what this strip makes fun of.)

You don't have to reverse the kernel upgrade. You just need to reboot to the previous kernel.

If the host computer is dual booting with Windows the grub option "Advanced Options for Ubuntu" should already be there; that lets you choose the previous kernel.

Otherwise, hold down the SHIFT key while the host computer is powering up, and the GRUB boot options should show up

If the SHIFT key does not work,
edit /etc/default/grub, comment out GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE and set the GRUB_TIMEOUT to -1 (wait forever) or 10 (if you want 10 seconds).
sudo update-grub

[foxsquirrel]

Just tried the holding the shift and rebooting and that does not work. We don't have any dual boot, everything runs linux at boot time with the exception of Win machines.

The 6.5 upgrade might have triggered some more issues, just had to power cycle it. It would not wake from a dark screen, checked all cables first and they are plugged in.

Do you know of a removal script for 17 pro. Not sure how to completely remove it.

Just checked and Bookworm is still on 6.1 and that might be option at this point.

I am running bookworm.

The kernel upgrade should not have affected Grub behavior, I don't think.

I would like to thank everyone that has contributed to helping me resolve this issue.

What I did to solve this problem:

1. Installed Ubuntu 20.04 and installed workstation 17 pro on the that machine.

2.All the VM's were on NVMe drives so it was real easy to load them back up on the new install. Wish I knew it was that easy to move them in the beginning.

What I learned from this, the moment it happened it was panic mode because we had so much data on the VMs'. I did not realize they could be moved onto another player very easily.

Also found out that Bookworm would not install on a Dell 3650, it had a networking driver missing error. Got around that and went to boot and it did not work. Then tried rescue mode and that did not work. So it was back peddling to Ubuntu 20.04
