Hello,
with Workstation 14 and Linux 4.13 I also have stability issues.
I ported patch
to Workstation 14. I think it runs a litte bit better but still hangs after a few minutes.
Can someone provide a better patch?
Why does VMware release a version not running fine with latest released linux kernel?

Yes, it does.

Did you execute;
# vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
after applying the patch?

Sure!
Does it run stable on your system under linux 4.13?

Yes, it does.

How about this?
# rm -f /usr/lib/4,13,x-*/misc/vmmon.ko
# rm -f /usr/lib/4.13.x.*/misc/vmnet.ko
# vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
Regards,
Damn it!
I did vmware-modconfig BUT I did NOT tar the vmmon-ony directory with the patch 😞
Know it's running fine for several minutes.
I also find out that my diff has the wrong patched version and original version.
I attach it once again in the correct version. Maybe I need it again in the future (and can't remember to apply "-R" to patch)
Thanks again!
I have a similar problem. Every time i try to create a new VM it crashes:
2017-10-02T09:58:23.024+02:00| vmplayer| I125: Log for VMware Player pid=13343 v - Pastebin.com
(I could not find a "code" highlighter so i used pastbin)
If you could be so kind and tell me how to apply this patch you are referring to this would be great! I cant find the filename anywhere on my system (except for WIFI firmware).
Ubuntu 17.10
It's inside the vmmon.tar. Description is here:
Hi
When I am trying to apply your patch for Vmware 14 bundle i get the below:

Hunk #2 FAILED at 1516.
2 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file VMware-Workstation-Full-14.0.0-6661328.x86_64.bundle.rej
Any idea what i am doing wrong?

Same errors.
Fedora 26
Kernel 4.13.5-200.fc26.x86_64
VMware Player/Workstation 14.0.0
Any news? Anybody?
You can apply the patch after installing VMware like this:
sudo su
cd /tmp
cp /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmmon.tar .
tar xf vmmon.tar
rm vmmon.tar
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/fadedd9c8a4dd23f74da2b448572df95666df...
mv -f hostif.c vmmon-only/linux/hostif.c
tar cf vmmon.tar vmmon-only
rm -fr vmmon-only
mv -f vmmon.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmmon.tar
vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
A bit crud, but it's basically the same.
Wow,
Works perfectly!!! Finally!!!
Thank you very much Izzno!
Hi Izzno
does this solve the memory issues with Vmware Pro 14 under linux?
Regards
Viktor
Yes.
Thanks
I test it out tomorrow and let you know
Regards
Viktor
It worked.
Thanks
fantastic - worked great. THANKS!
I have Fedora 26, uninstalled Workstation 12, and installed 14. Upgraded via dnf to kernel 4.13.9 yesterday.
Is there a known way to trigger this issue. The shipped vmware workstation modules all compiled and have been running 2 virtuals (win7 and Win10) with no issues for a half a day now. Granted I have not used them much since I am a Linux guy, but I did not have to patch anything to get it going.
Is there something I am missing to trigger this lock up everyone is referencing?
vmware-installer -l

Well, nevermind. They finally both produced the error, and eery time I restart WS14 now, they almost do it immediately.
Izzno,
Great! That did the trick: Fedora 26, kernel-4.13.9-200.fc26.x86
Thank You!
