[SOLVED]VMware Failed to start — vmmon failed — monitor machine failed

Hello
At first if anything about this topic is wrong please accept my apologize

I installed Arch linux and it is updated with last kernel and everything

I want to install vmware but I’m failed with this app
I install all requirements and and one note : I don’t have dkms installed.

At first this is my Kernel :

This is my GCC

I have installed vmware by

After install this is my /etc/init.d

And here is /etc/rc.d/

In the Arch wiki for vmware said you can use vmware-patch or another patcher
But I create 3 system.service in /etc/systemd/system/

3 files in the end and their content is exactly same in vmware page in Arch wiki

When I want to modprobe : vmmon — vmnet — vmci
I get these errors :

Those 2 error and its tell that modules not build yet so I command this like said in Arch wiki in vmware page :

But I will get these :

So it is saying there is no successful taks.

After this I start vmware by command vmware and after a second a windows appear saying it wants to install modules and when i click install it is going to be failed show monitor machine not start and I think its because of modules not install completely.
After say see log in /tmp/vmware-root/vmware-3375.log

So guys sorry for its long but I think its better to be complete.
If anyone know this issue
Help to make this FIX and help Arch Linux to be better.

I did whatever Arch Wili said but no luck.

Re: [SOLVED]VMware Failed to start — vmmon failed — monitor machine failed

Why aren’t you installing using the vmware-workstation package in the AUR?

No, it didn’t «fix» anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. — jasonwryan

Re: [SOLVED]VMware Failed to start — vmmon failed — monitor machine failed

I try that and no luck in that way of installing vmware i dont get any link in /etc/init.d and i got error from vmci and vmnet but vmmon is ok.
hmm sorry for bad eng my native is japanese.

so thanks man i think the best way of installing vmware is sh package that what Arch wiki said.
in this way we get symlink in /etc/init.d and we cant get status, start, restart and stop with /etc/init.d/vmware start|stop|restart|status

Re: [SOLVED]VMware Failed to start — vmmon failed — monitor machine failed

So after some try about 23 time try installing VMware , finally success
At first I don’t know this is important in success but I install dkms package.
After that I read that log and found that the gcc version is compatiable with these vmware package to compile so i downgrade the gcc to 6
and Try to install but failed again
Then found that there is no need for gcc to compile that vmmon or vmci or others
Compile them by dkms and match the kernel after that success yeah
I finally get vmware on my arch in asus.

But i delete it, hehe
I want to try the AUR package pre mafe for vmware and i install it
Druting installation i found out that this one compile vmware tools by dkms
like me but manually
So i delete it again and install it manually again to keep DIY safe.

Thanks for reading my post
Also Im writing the cheat sheet for installing Arch on Asus laptops , the most trouble laptop for having Arch on them + help of with friend.

Any way thanks
I changed the topic[SOLVED]

от этой проблеммы избавился так , но не до конца. сделал вот эти 2 команды :
# /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.6.27.8-desktop-0.uc1mnb/misc/vmmon.ko
# /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.6.27.8-desktop-0.uc1mnb/misc/vmci.ko
вроде норм запускается , вот только нет интернета , при попытке подключить его через VMware tools ,в заклатке devices, ставлю галочку на NIC 1 , жму ок
выскакивает ошибка Could not open /dev/vmnet8: No such file or directory
Failed to connect virtual device Ethernet0.

при #/sbin/service vmware restart показывает:

[root@localhost sbin]# /sbin/service vmware restart
Stopping VMware services:
Virtual machine communication interface [ СБОЙ ]
Virtual machine monitor [ OK ]
Blocking file system [ OK ]

[root@localhost sbin]# /sbin/service vmware restart
Stopping VMware services:
Virtual machine communication interface [ СБОЙ ]
Virtual machine monitor [ OK ]
Blocking file system [ OK ]

Ну а дальше что пишет? Это только этап «выключения», т.е. выгрузки модулей, а команда restart подразумевает еще и их повторную загрузку. На моей машине после этих трех строк (в первой OK, как и в двух других) пишет следующее (после небольшой паузы около 3-4 секунд):

Starting VMware services:
Virtual machine monitor [ OK ]
Virtual machine communication interface [ OK ]
Blocking file system [ OK ]
Virtual ethernet [ OK ]
Shared Memory Available [ OK ]

Hi all.
I am a new VM user. First installation and problems ((
Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS x86_64 4.4.0-31-generic new installation on HP Envy laptop.

Could Not Open /dev/vmmon: Broken Pipe VMware Fusion macOS Mojave Error

This is just a quick tip for my fellow VMware Fusion users, I ran out to this issue while I was freshly running my VMware Fusion pro 11 on my MacBook Pro, macOS Mojave system. This was due to the enhanced security measures taken by apple and I had to do some changes in order start my Virtual Machines.

The below appeared on my screen while I was trying to power up the Virtual Machine.

Could Not Open /dev/vmmon: Broken Pipe

After that Failed to initialize monitor device message appeared

To allow the security restrictions for VMware Fusion application just go to your system preferences by clicking the apple icon at the top of the menu bar

Just “Allow” the application to load, if it is blocked under “General” tab

Allow the application to control the computer under “Privacy” tab, to make changes just click on the “Padlock” 🔒 at the bottom

Now all done, just power up the Virtual Machine

I hope this post will help someone who is having the same issues with VMware Fusion and macOS, Mojave.

Hi
I followed the above steps and do get the additional error “Transport (VMDB) error -14: Pipe connection has been broken”

Aruna Lakmal

Are you still seen the same problem?

marcotini

I have the same error -14 Pipe connection has been broken.

Aruna Lakmal

Yandis

mines isn’t fixed either. I even tried to reboot my computer still unsuccessful

Aruna Lakmal

Not sure something has changed in the mean time.

Oxana

It’s important to restart the laptop after changing security settings

Aruna Lakmal

Thanks Oxana adding the recommendations and missing parts! 🙂

Julia

Thank you SO MUCH for this! You just saved me hours of work (I’d have set the machines up from scratch after moving to a new Mac). Clear instructions, easy to follow – brilliant! Feels like this is exactly what the internet is for Reply

Aruna Lakmal

Hey Thank you very much for the comment! Glad it helped you to fix it.

Paulina

Thank you so much for the advice. It finally opened up.

Chuck de Young

I was so frustrated installing Fusion on Catalina 10.16.6. Your very lucid, and screenshot filled article cleared it up. Thanks so much.

Zhibi

Hi Aruna, I have the company MAC and I even don’t have the information in the “General” tab to allow the VMware to load. Any suggestions?

Aruna Lakmal

I think those features probably blocked by your sysadmin 🙁

Brian

There is nothing related to Security & Privacy, worked before I had to replace my SSD. Removed all prior installation, downloaded new file from WMware site, even though it is still getting the same errors.

Hi, sorry but I have this problem and Hi, Sorry but I have this problem, it’s been a long time since VMware Fusion 11.5 was included in Privacy.
I put the application in the recycle garbage can, empty it, restart and reinstall this 11.5.7 application. No better.
I even reinstalled Fusion after a successful boot.
I still have this problem.
Sincerely, Brice

I am one of the folks that did not get the message about VMware software being blocked to show up in Preferences so I never had the chance to click on the Allow button.

In the VMware forums I found a solution (https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Fusion-Discussions/VM-s-not-working-in-Fusion/td-p/2289028) that worked for me (running 10.14.6 and V11.5.7 of Fusion):
First, use Terminal to confirm via “ls -lO” that the attribute setting for /private/var/db/KernelExtensionManagement is NOT set to “restricted”.
If it is not, uninstall VMware Fusion manually (instructions available here: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1017838?lang=en_US).

If it is already set to “restricted” then the rest of this fix does not apply.
Reboot into Recovery mode and launch Terminal (in Utilities menu).
If you use FileVault, unlock/mount Macintosh HD with:
diskutil apfs unlock “Macintosh HD”
Now that the disk is mounted, set the needed attribute with:
chflags restricted /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/private/var/db/KernelExtensionManagement
Restart machine.
Install VMware Fusion.
After install, confirm in Preferences that VMware has Full Disk Access and is listed in Accessibility.
Launch your VM(s). You will probably have to scan your system for your existing VMs due to having uninstalled Fusion. Hopefully, they will now work, as mine did.
