It's not like God would kill a kitten now... Cmon guys :)
Ok, this really is a critical app. When can we expect to get some traction on this?
This may be a duplicate of Bug#293636 I noticed that the vmware overlay does not have any signs of a VMWare Workstation 7 ebuild either. Are there any technical reasons for not being able to provide an ebuild? If so, they should probably be noted in Bugzilla.
the new version of wks and player are comming with a new vmware-installer this new version of the installer requires a precompiled binary python module this way the system pyhton could not be used and the "buggy" provided version must be used (the internal python has a bug that puts cpu under 100% load). the installer has changed again so all the old patches wont work it will take some time until there is a new release

Created attachment 220901 [details] vmware-modules-1.0.0.26 ebuild package
This is working fine for me, although I didn't tested the following: 1. Upgrade from 6.5 2. amd64 Also, there's an overwrite of /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache but It doesn't really matter for me. Feel free to modify/cleanout my patches
I would try exactly these two things for you, except I can't seem to fetch the vmware-modules-1.0.0.26.amd64.tar.bz2 from anywhere. Is there a place I can fetch it from? (In reply to comment #14) > This is working fine for me, although I didn't tested the following: > 1. Upgrade from 6.5 > 2. amd64
Sorry, here you go: http://dev.pentoo.ch/~grimmlin/vmware/ These are simply the modules sources extracted from the vmware-workstation-7 package, in the vmware-player dir.
Upgraded from 6.5 -> 7.0.1 on amd64 worked for me. Had some sandbox issues and had to FEATURES="-sandbox" emerge vmware-workstation to get it to install. Overwrite of /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache didn't cause any issues that I could see other than warning. VMs worked fine post upgrade. No issues there. I did get one crashed when I went to Help > About. Could be because of VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=force which may or may not be needed with v7.

Created attachment 221055 [details] sandbox log file Here is sandbox log from installing vmware-workstation 7.0.1.
Thanks for the ebuilds. I also needed to disable sandbox. After that it builds and works fine in my x86 box. I can report that it works with kernel 2.6.33 too.

Agree. Make Michael maintainer instead (if he wants to). He did a job that a lot of people appreciate very much. We heard nothing at all from the official maintainer in the last (almost) 4 months since the report was opened. Anybody tested the revised ebuild?

Just upgraded my 6.5 to 7.0.1 on ~amd64. Kernel is 2.6.30-gentoo-r8. Works like a charm. Even Aero 3D effects in Windows 7 under KDE 4.4 with all sorts of eye-candy enabled. Tried resizing, autofitting, entering and exiting full-screen with no trouble at all. Now vmware can use a few more of my wonderful processor cores... B-) Thanks a million times Michael. :-)
Tested and working! Thanks Michael!
Thanks for your good work Michael; this appears to have been a difficult revbump. Your ebuild works well on three systems here (x86, x86, amd64, all upgrades from 6.5.3.185404) with one minor exception. I installed from the vmware overlay (I confirmed that the ebuild I used from there matches what's posted here) but encountered a sandbox violation on /etc/prelink.conf (OPEN_WR) during installation which caused the installer to attempt to back out and hang in the process. I was able to workaround the problem by removing /etc/prelink.conf, emerging vmware-workstation, and running env-update to regenerate /etc/prelink.conf. To other commenters: please keep the sarcasm and personal business off the bugtracker. The devs are volunteers, and if they are short with you it is because they are busy working to improve the project. Ebuild diffs are normally preferred and compression normally discouraged, but afaict this revbump required updating quite a few ${FILESDIR} files, so attaching and updating them individually may have been messy or unreasonable.

Plz attach the sandbox log file so I can see what caused the OPEN_WR call. BTW, The vmware overlay is missing the newest vmware-modules. I added them to my own overlay. Layman -a pentoo
vmware-workstation-7.0.1.227600-r2.ebuild is in vmware overlay. This ebuild is based on vmware-player ebuild submitted by Matt Whitlock. Please try, review, evaluate... Thanks.
Created attachment 222285 [details, diff] vmware-workstation-7.0.1.227600-r2.ebuild.patch Hi, thanks for the new 7.0.1 ebuild! Great work! As it seems there is one bigger issue: All the vmware tools iso-images are missing. (for vmware-tools in the guests) I updated the ebuild to include those isos. Note that you need to download VMware-Workstation-Full-7.0.1-227600.{x86_64,i386}.bundle instead as only this bundle includes them. Additional idea may now be to introduce some USE flags so that you can select which isos to install. My submitted ebuild will install just all those isos like it used to be in earlier WS versions.
(In reply to comment #31) > As it seems there is one bigger issue: All the vmware tools iso-images are > missing. (for vmware-tools in the guests) Why is that an issue? This way, Workstation will download only those guest tools that you actually need, when you need them, and it will keep them updated. Personally, I prefer this to the "full" install. > Additional idea may now be to introduce some USE flags so that you can select > which isos to install. I think one USE flag, "full", to choose between upstream full installer and the smaller one that downloads tools on demand would be sufficient.
Ok, i was not aware of the download feature. Does it indicate this somewhere? For me it just seemed not to work... but I did not wait as long as a it would take to download... about USE flag: ack! please add the full use flag then which will enable my patch.

Personally, I prefer this to the "full" install. I installed vmware-workstation-7.0.1.227600-r2 from the "vmware" overlay on my mostly stable amd64 box. After a successful installation, when I try to update VMWare Tools from the VM menu in VMWare Workstation I can see the linux dialog box telling me the CD iso image will be attached, but after pressing "Install" nothing ever happens. Also, my /opt/vmware/lib/vmware/isoimages directory only contains a file: tools-key.pub What am I supposed to do to upgrade the VMWare Tools inside my virtual Windows XP with the provided ebuild in the vmware overlay? The file it wanted was VMware-Workstation-7.0.1-227600.x86_64.bundle Thanks in advance.

I installed this from the overlay with accessibility turned on for gtkmm and can run it without VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK. I don't know if there's a way to set the ebuild to require the accessibility useflag on gtkmm, but it would probably be a good idea.

You're right, it doesn't work, vmware-installer is required. This is unfortunate, it seriously cripples Wks7's features in Gentoo: automatic updates of the tools don't work. IMHO this is quite important feature :-/
(In reply to comment #46) > This is > unfortunate, it seriously cripples Wks7's features in Gentoo: automatic updates > of the tools don't work. IMHO this is quite important feature :-/ Letting software update itself isn't the Gentoo way. Updates should be done by the package manager. That said, I've introduced a new vmware-tools ebuild over on bug 290831 that will hopefully be adopted into the vmware overlay. It could probably be added as a dependency of this ebuild, too. Going with the ebuild, new versions of the tools would be upgraded by Portage/Paludis, just like everything else.

Though I suppose updates would be slow to appear, it's not exactly easy to spot a new point release of the tools if it's hidden in some update file... Hmm, what about treating the ISOs as *data* files (which they arguably are), put them in /var and update them from a cron script?

You wouldn't argue for letting Firefox update itself from the Internet, would you? It would spew files all over the place, and Portage wouldn't know what package any of them belonged to. Just because software has an auto-update feature built-in doesn't mean that's the best way to do it when the operating system has its own package manager. > That said, this is nice, thanks a lot! Though I suppose updates would be slow > to appear, it's not exactly easy to spot a new point release of the tools if > it's hidden in some update file... Is there somewhere that VMware publishes announcements of new Tools releases? The maintainer of the app-emulation/vmware-tools package would just need to be notified to bump the ebuild whenever a new release was announced. > Hmm, what about treating the ISOs as *data* files (which they arguably are), > put them in /var and update them from a cron script? Assuming you're talking placing symlinks in /opt/vmware/lib/vmware/isoimages (so VMware Player can find them) to the ISOs somewhere beneath /var, this could work, but if we're resorting to polling VMware's server to look for updates, why don't we just have the package maintainer do that? Everyone else should get their updates the normal way, by sync'ing their Portage trees and upgrading world.

I volunteer to be the maintainer of app-emulation/vmware-tools (and app-emulation/vmware-player if it needs a maintainer). I don't have a license for Workstation, so I couldn't maintain it. I'll cook up a cron job to check the metadata files on VMware's updates server and notify me when a new release of Tools is available. Upon each such notification, I'll bump the version of the ebuild. (I'll need commit access to the vmware overlay. Anyone know how I'd get that?)
i have bought a regular version and using vmware workstation original package on gentoo without the package manager and it does not cripple anything... maybe we should do an exception in this case and just use the original vmware installer in this case so all the update function will be automatic. never mentioning that vmware puts everything into dirs named vmware so it will not lay anything around.

If you want to use the VMware Installer, then use the VMware Installer. If you want Portage to manage your VMware installation, then use Portage. I would humbly suggest that we not mix the two.

I tried the 7.1 ebuild (rev. 412 from vmware overlay) and it installed okay. However when trying to launch vmware-workstation from GNOME launcher or from command line nothing happens. The program never loads. Not sure why, couldn't find anything obvious. I've downgraded back to 7.0 for now (and that still works).

Solve it by running 'strace -f vmware' and you will see why it dies. My installation missed a directory with a symlink to some glibc .so (cannot remember which, since I'm sitting at another box now). After adding that, 7.1 now runs smoothly. :-)

If I remember correctly, I get a similar message when trying to install VMware Tools on the guest in VMware Player, but then it still mounts the ISO image correctly, and the tools install. Since the Tools images are now installed and managed by Portage, it is expected that you will not be able to download updates for them through the VMware UI.

Here it is: I had to manually add the directory /opt/vmware/lib/vmware/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0.

This may well be the case. All I can tell you at this point is that after relaunching vmware, the vm does not have the tools iso attached.

Granted, that's Player, not Workstation, but I'd expect the two to have a similar codebase. I used to get crashes in VMware Player when dismissing a menu without making a selection, but that hasn't happened in a while, so I wonder if the newer Gtk+ has fixed it. Could you try with 2.18.9?

This worked for me. I agree that this might not be a general issue on all configurations. Perhaps some dependency is missing? My pragmatic suggestion for a solution (without looking at r415) would be to add the directory and symlink, if nothing is in the /opt/vmware/... filesystem on the designated locations already. Any idea on when any of all this will ever enter the official portage tree in some keyworded state?

I have downgraded to the version 7.0.1.227600-r5, and now it seems to work fine. There are no permissions fails in ui log as in version 7.1.
Created attachment 233917 [details] appLoader log file Here is my appLoader log file, but i don't see errors at all.

Hmm. I just synced my overlay and updated again, and my crash problem is gone. Looks like something between around r412 and r415 fixed it. Which would probably be the new version of libview, or (less likely) the libglib symlink.

Now that the UI is not crashing whenever a dialog is dismissed, it behaves as you describe. I am able to successfully install tools after clicking "Download and Install" (which does neither, but lets the whole process move along). Appears to just be an "Aesthetic regression" ;)
So, my vmware-workstations 7.1 UI still crashing. Version 7.0.1 runs OK, without any errors. Upgrade to r415 didn't help. I don't know what's wrong. There is lot of permissions errors in ui log, but remains when permissions set to 777.
My vmware-workstation 7.1 ui still crashes when I click on buttons or closing a tab.
I have tried a new 7.1.1 ebuild from overlay. But GUI still crashes when I tried to interact with dialogs and so. I thing that is some problem related with system GTK libs. I have found that also Ubuntu is affected with this issue. More can be found in this thread: http://communities.vmware.com/message/1570661 Currently I am running these versions of gtk: [I--] [ ] dev-cpp/gtkmm-2.20.3 (2.4) [I--] [ ] x11-libs/gtk+-2.20.1-r1 (2) So I stuck at version 7.0.1, because it runs well. Something has had to go wrong in 7.1.* ebuild. Any idea?

I can click on buttons (in VMware dialogs; obviously dialogs in the guest OS are irrelevant), and nothing crashes or disappears.
Hm, question is what is different between version 7.0 and 7.1 related to the GUI. Is there any change in the ebuild? Different handling of shipped libs?
(In reply to comment #86) > Hm, question is what is different between version 7.0 and 7.1 related to the > GUI. Is there any change in the ebuild? Different handling of shipped libs? Yes, instead of removing an enumerated list of bundled libraries, the *.1 ebuilds remove all shipped libraries that have counterparts in the system's library paths. Here's a question: has everyone who is running into this UI crash run revdep-rebuild to ensure your system libraries are in good working order?
I might be a problem. I did revdep-rebuild and my systems are consistent. Now on three systems 7.1, 7.1.1 crashes, and 7.0.1 is rock stable. There must by some issue in incompatibility between system libraries and vmware. May it is a use flags problem. Could someone post useflags from running system for related libraries? I didn't mention that all my systems runs KDE desktop.
So. Finally, I have discovered that the GUI crashing is caused by this piece of the 7.1 and 7.1.1 ebuild: cd vmware-player-app/lib/lib || die ldconfig -p | sed 's:^\s\+\([^(]*[^( ]\).*=> /.*$:\1:g;t;d' | xargs -d'\n' -r rm -rf cd ../../../vmware-workstation/lib/lib || die ldconfig -p | sed 's:^\s\+\([^(]*[^( ]\).*=> /.*$:\1:g;t;d' | xargs -d'\n' -r rm -rf When I comment these lines out, than everything works like a charm. Now, I can definitely say that crashes are caused by the inappropriate removal of some library from the bundled. And why it is so? Wrong flags, version of the libs?

I have checked my useflags against posted ones. Added gtk, glitz, gd and rebuild affected packages. But GUI still crashes. I didn't notice that my systems are 32 bit. Now, only way to stable GUI is comment out libs replacement in the ebuild.

So, finally. I managed to find out that my GUI crashes are caused by x11-libs/libview-0.6.2 which is installed in my system. When I force vmware to use the system one, than GUI crashes and when the bundled one is used vmware runs perfectly.

The VMware overlay includes x11-libs/libview-0.6.6, which should have been installed for you automatically. Try upgrading to that version and report back whether it fixes your problem. If so, I'll update the vmware-{player,workstation} ebuilds to require >=x11-libs/libview-0.6.6.
Yes, this is it. Vmware workstation 7.1.x obviously needs libview x11-libs/libview-0.6.6. It is solved now.
There is also some strange mess in the vmware-modules dependency. It looks like vmware-modules is dependent at vmware-workstation and also vmware-player, but vmware-workstation and vmware-player blocks each other. $ emerge -av vmware-workstation [ebuild U ] x11-libs/libview-0.6.6 [0.6.2] [ebuild N ] app-emulation/vmware-tools-8.4.3.282343 [ebuild N F ] app-emulation/vmware-player-3.1.0.261024 [ebuild N ] app-emulation/vmware-modules-238 [ebuild N f ] app-emulation/vmware-workstation-7.1.1.282343 [blocks B ] app-emulation/vmware-player ("app-emulation/vmware-player" is blocking app-emulation/vmware-workstation-7.1.1.282343) [blocks B ] app-emulation/vmware-workstation ("app-emulation/vmware-workstation" is blocking app-emulation/vmware-player-3.1.0.261024) In the vmware-modules there is DEPEND set to workstation and player.

But for some reason ebuild insist on installation of the workstation and player simultaneously.

This issue is currently being discussed over on the VMware Player bug 290831.
(In reply to comment #105) > Created an attachment (id=246591) [details] > CRASH: SSL wrapper: invoked uninitialized function aesni_set_encrypt_key > This is a ebuild related issue, because ebuild removes bundled version of the openssl library. Bundled version is patched, but Portage version not. This issues causes wmware workstations crash on the Nehalem/Westmere and some older Core 2 Quad CPUs with AES-NI feature. There is a patch for the openssl library which solve this, but it isn't in the Portage yet. Until that, this ebuild shouldn't remove bundled version of the openssl and libcrypto.
app-emulation/vmware-workstation-7.1.1.282343-r1 retains the bundled OpenSSL 0.9.8 libraries with the AES-NI support.

I have opened a bug <a href="http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336902">336902</a> for tracking Openssl AES-NI issue.

VMware-Workstation-Full-7.1.3-324285.x86_64.bundle version bump
(In reply to comment #113) > VMware-Workstation-Full-7.1.3-324285.x86_64.bundle version bump What's the meaning of this comment? VMware Workstation 7.1.3-324285 has been in the vmware overlay since 19 November.
Why isn't VMWare 7 in Portage tree, but only in overlay?

tried the overlay and I knbow it does not start because of libpng. I wander if it could be possible to have both versions of libpng on the system the old one installed just for vmware and the new one working for the rest of the system... please help

I have both installed now. $ equery list libpng * Searching for libpng ... [IP-] [ ] media-libs/libpng-1.2.44:1.2 [IP-] [ ] media-libs/libpng-1.4.5:0 The VMware Workstation/Player ebuilds already have a dependency on libpng 1.2, so you should not be having a problem if you're emerging them correctly; the old libpng should be installed for you automatically.
i solved compiling the old libpng with --prefix=/usr/lib64/oldpng then I copied libpng12.so.0.44.0 to /usr/lib64 and softlinked it to /usr/lib64/libpng12.so now vmware works. Since like others here I am a vmware registered user with support I filed a request to the upstream customer care to please upgrade the required libpng version in the bundle

I don't want to take the risk of downgrading glibc down from 2.13, but it seemed to have triggered the problem here as well. Anyone know about another solution than downgrading glibc?
(In reply to comment #129) CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y in the kernel worked for me. What remains now is the problem with NOT_IMPLEMENTED with sys-libs/glibc-2.13 comment #123 and #131

(In reply to comment #133) I confirm that the above fixed the problem for me also. Thanks for the info.
Thats wonderful! Everything works with vmware overlay
vmware-workstation-7.1.3 is moved from overlay to Portage. thanks.
