Where can I find a patch to permit running VMware Workstation 9 with the most recent Fedora-19 Kernel? My effort with Google produced nothing I had confidence in. The VMware app. is convenient to use as well as expensive but
I'm
beginning to think it's not a good choice for those of us running Fedora. In the normal progression of updates kernel 3.10 will eventually fall off the list ...
why do you ask the same question again already answered a few weeks ago?
Because we are dealing with 3.11 now, that you understand. The patch you suggested for 3.10 works fine but all I could find is this Slackware patch and I wasn't certain it was applicable to fedora-19/64 bit, apparently you are saying it is? Good!
However I have not found how to download the patch and I'm stuck there. If you can explain how to do that I will install it.
i posted you the link, you only need to read and follow
https://www.google.at/search?q=vmware+workstation+kernel+3.11 http://slackblogs.blogspot.co.at/2013/09/linux-kernel-311-vmware-workstation...
there is a blue text "vmware-3.11 SlackHacks Repository" which is also a link https://github.com/willysr/SlackHacks/tree/master/vmware/vmware-3.11
and there is a instruction: 1. cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source 2. tar xvf vmblock.tar 3. cd vmblock-only 4. patch -p1 < /path/to/vmblock-3.11.patch 5. cd .. 6. tar cvf vmblock.tar vmblock-only/ 7. vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
what more do you need?
and yes, it works Sep 14 18:58:13 Installed: kernel-3.11.1-200.fc19.x86_64
