Would love to see the new version 9 in either the vmware overlay or portage. Not sure if there is more to it than just renaming the current ebuilds
Created attachment 322571 [details] 271-vmmon.patch Okay, wanted to help get things going abit. After seeing the new ebuild in the overlay, I installed but got an error upon trying to start any vm so here is the necessary patch with a modified ebuild.
Created attachment 322573 [details] vmware-modules-271.0.ebuild here is the ebuild
Just also wanted to point out that vmrun is not working in this version here is what happens billydv@Linux1 ~ $ /opt/vmware/bin/vmrun start "/MyDownloads/My Virtual Machines/Windows XP Professional/Windows XP Professional.vmx" gui Unable to connect to host. Error: The specified version was not found billydv@Linux1 ~ $ Anyone have any ideas?
check this out Linux1 billydv # /opt/vmware/lib/vmware/bin/vmplayer -v SSLLoadSharedLibraries: Failed to load OpenSSL libraries. libdir is /usr/lib/vmware Aborted Linux1 billydv #
I just wanted to mention that I installed vmware-workstation on my Fedora box and after using the modules patch to rebuild the modules, all worked well. The problems with vmrun and vmplayer not starting seem to stem from some error in the emerge process from the ebuild
Installed from today's vmware overlay and I'm up and running with no fuss, awesome!
Getting GP faults when starting vm. There is a kernel 3.5 patch at http://communities.vmware.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/2103172-94260/vmware9_kernel35_patch.tar.bz2 take a look.

Created attachment 322792 [details] output when run with strace here is vmplayer strace
Created attachment 322794 [details] vmrun strace vmrun strace output

That is what patch does. Did you reemerge?
Is it possible to get the 3.5 kernel patch into the ebuild, assuming it works.
I did reemerge and from that I gave you the strace outputs
The 3.5 kernel patch to vmmon is now in 271. I didn't notice it before posting earlier. I have the new vmware-workstation running perfectly with my production Windows XP VM. No issues to report. As soon as Xorg-Server manages to recognize XINERAMA settings again I will test version 9 to see if the bug in version 8 that causes confusion and breaks monitor cycling when xrandr and xinerama report different monitor geometry is fixed,
Okay here is what I had to do to get it fixed, kind of dirty so please fix this up ## Here are my fixes ln -s /opt/vmware/lib/vmware/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 /opt/vmware/lib/vmware/lib/libvmwarebase.so.0/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 ln -s /opt/vmware/lib/vmware/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8/libssl.so.0.9.8 /opt/vmware/lib/vmware/lib/libvmwarebase.so.0/libssl.so.0.9.8 mkdir /opt/vmware/lib/vmware-vix/Workstation-9.0.0-and-vSphere-5.1.0 mkdir /opt/vmware/lib/vmware-vix/Workstation-9.0.0-and-vSphere-5.1.0/64bit ln -s /opt/vmware/lib/vmware/lib/libvmwarebase.so.0/libvmwarebase.so.0 /opt/vmware/lib/vmware-vix/Workstation-9.0.0-and-vSphere-5.1.0/64bit/libvmwarebase.so ln -s /opt/vmware/lib/vmware-vix/libvixAllProducts.so /opt/vmware/lib/vmware-vix/Workstation-9.0.0-and-vSphere-5.1.0/64bit/libvix.so

That is what patch does. Did you reemerge? patch is creating link in libvmplayer.so/. it mean to be in libvmwarebase.so.0. oops. fixed.

Created attachment 323572 [details, diff] patch for vmware-workstation-9 ebuild Vmrun still not working with ebuild from overlay, I submitted a new patch which works against what you currently have in the overlay

I updated and unmasked vmware desktop 9 ebuild in overlay. Please sync and test.
On a fully ~amd64 system, I can't launch any vms with this version of vmware-workstation - when the machine is powered on or resumed, the program just hangs with all buttons grayed out. The only way to abort is to kill the vmware-vmx process.
modules do not build against gentoo-sources 3.5.4
seems that they are building now
I have been trying to get vmware-workstation 9 to run on my system for a couple days with no joy. I am using the overlay that has files dated 16 September (looks like the latest). Run as root, run as regular user, all I get is "Aborted". Wish the error message was a little less vague. Thought maybe it was the .vmware directory in my home. Moved it and got the same results. It does create an empty .vmware directory before bombing. I go back to vmware-workstation 8 and all is fine. Here is my info: /etc/init.d/vmware start * Caching service dependencies ...

there is a new version
Renaming the ebuild works but the vmware-modules ebuild no longer needs this line epatch "${FILESDIR}/${PV_MAJOR}-vmmon.patch" All works fine
vmware desktop 9.0.1 version bump new file: vmware-modules/vmware-modules-271.1.ebuild modified: vmware-player/Manifest modified: vmware-player/vmware-player-5.0.0.812388.ebuild new file: vmware-player/vmware-player-5.0.1.894247.ebuild modified: vmware-tools/Manifest new file: vmware-tools/vmware-tools-9.2.2.894247.ebuild modified: vmware-workstation/Manifest new file: vmware-workstation/vmware-workstation-9.0.1.894247.ebuild
Installed the ebuild posted on 17 Nov and vmware-workstation still aborts on me. Rolling back to version 8 and all is good. I am not an expert on troubleshooting a binary package. Any help on troubleshooting this would be greatly appeciated.
Created attachment 331852 [details] Strace of vmware-workstation-9.0.1.894247 aborting on my system. If some kind person could take a look at this and determine what could be the issue on my system, I would be grateful. I spent some time scrubbing though it looking for anything that looked unusual, and much of it looked unusual to me. Thanks!

Thanks! please open new bug with usual stuff (desc, emerge --info, etc) please also attach /tmp/vmware-user/* logs. Why do you run vmware as a root? Have you run emerge --config?
