Hello,
I'm new in atrix; I installed it with openRC, switched to 5.10.30-1-lts kernel.
I need to install vmware player, so I do:
1-downloaded bundle from vmware site.
2-hmod +x VMware-Player-15.0.4-12990004.x86_64.bundle
3-sudo ./VMware-Player-15.0.4-12990004.x86_64.bundle
4-completing installation by wizard
3
then according with more tutorial founded on the web, i should enable and start vmware services like:
Add vmware.service.
cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/vmware.service
[Unit]
Description=VMware daemon
Requires=vmware-usbarbitrator.service
Before=vmware-usbarbitrator.service
After=network.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/etc/init.d/vmware start
ExecStop=/etc/init.d/vmware stop
PIDFile=/var/lock/subsys/vmware
RemainAfterExit=yes
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF
Add vmware-usbarbitrator.service.
cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/vmware-usbarbitrator.service
[Unit]
Description=VMware USB Arbitrator
Requires=vmware.service
After=vmware.service
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/vmware-usbarbitrator
ExecStop=/usr/bin/vmware-usbarbitrator --kill
RemainAfterExit=yes
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start vmware.service vmware-usbarbitrator.service
and finally: sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
but those are for systemd, so I checked how to add service from open rc and shoud be:
rc-update add service runlevel where service is the name of the service to add,
but when I tried none of the service name are founded.
So I tried to lunch the player and it work, but after reboot I get Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory. Please make sure that the kernel module `vmmon' is loaded ;
so I run :
vmware-modconfig --console --install-all and it work again, but after reboot is broken again. Anyone can help me with this installation, please?
load manually vmmon with "modprobe vmmon"
no openrc initd for vmware player exist, you need all start manually, or write yur own openrc initd
