Given that the latest Vmware Workstation does not work anymore in older CPU architectures and we are forced to used older versions (in this case 12.5.9); it is starting to show problems with newest kernels.
I updated to Opensuse Leap 15.1 and while the installation completes with no errors.
VMplayer will not start, there seems to be a problem with libraries.
/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-modconfig: Relink `/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbsd.so.0' with `/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/librt.so.1' for IFUNC symbol `clock_gettime'
I have tried most of the suggestion and re-builds on other forums but I am just stuck.
After recompiling, there is no message but the application fails to start.
Has anybody found a solution to this problem??
Or I am required to upgrade my computer just to get my virtual machine back.
Thank you
After compiling and trying to re-start vmware this is what happens (not sure how to solve the Blocking file system failure)
