Can you do this for the 5.2 kernel also?

Just upgraded my laptop to an HP Elitebook 840 G5, intel 8650u.

Just tested on the 5.1 kernel and the fix worked also :D

Working perfectly here:

Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install gcc build-essential
wget https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/archive/workstation-15.0.4.tar.gz
tar -xzf workstation-15.0.4.tar.gz
cd vmware-host-modules-workstation-15.0.4
make
sudo make install

Drink beer...



VM in a VM, that's...

Thank you very much!

I don't know programming but I have a lot of hardware I can test things out with at my shop if you ever need me to.

My problem is I usually upgrade my home and work pc every 3-6 months and stay bleeding edge with hardware due to what I do.

There are only a couple windows programs I need for work and they don't play well with wine.

I'll work on this in a VM and when I get a solution, I'll post it. Suffice to say, from the research I've done, VMware does not play nice with 4.19+ kernels.

Can you run all your hardware on the stock 4.15 kernels?

I am trying to get VMWare 15 working on LL 4.4 with the 5.0 kernel since my hardware is basically new.

It installed perfectly fine.  When I go to run it I get a message saying "before you can run vmware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel"

It gets to the end and says it cannot start services.

This is the vmware log I get afterwards.
