Hello all
VMware has been working great but running "zypper dup" last night (the 5th of Oct) installed kernel 4.2.1-1. As a result I was no longer able to manually recompile the VMware Workstation "vmnet" module without errors: Ex. Error 1: No Internet connection Ex. Error 2: The status of the "Virtual ethernet" was "failed" Ex. Error 3: Virtual ethernet failed kernel-source-4.2.1 /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet-only/bridge.o' failed For more info concerning the exact error messages when compiling, see "ORIGINAL ERROR MESSAGES" at the end of this email
Note : Before the update I was on kernel 4.1.6-3.2
i updated vmware to latest version and compiled vmnet ansd vmmon modules manually.
Hello
My experience using VMware Workstation on Tumbleweed since I moved to kernel 4.2.1-1, is that my system has been crashing, i.e. my screen just freezes (too) frequently. The only changes on my system are the "zypper dup" the 5th of Oct when I installed kernel 4.2.1-1 etc. IMO, kernel 4.1.6-3.2 was definitely better.
I was hoping that someone else on this list, who is using VMware would be so kind as to comment on their experiences using VMware Workstation on kernel 4.2.1-1 so that I can compare notes.
My setup is shown below : cat version Linux version 4.2.1-1-desktop (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 5.1.1 20150713 [gcc-5-branch revision 225736] (SUSE Linux) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Sep 25 08:21:54 UTC 2015 (6996a42)

Some weeks ago, when 4.2 hits kernel-stable repository I've been hit by kernel crashes dmesh shown nf_conntrack full trouble. My initial report was this question (once I've been able to capture something) http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kernel/2015-10/msg00033.html 4.2.3 on my lappy is working fine, but I don't have *conntrack* modules loaded on it. You will see there's a fix that should goes to 4.2.4 (but now head is going to 4.3 kernel series) So I'm not sure about if it's included in. -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member & Board, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
