But there seems to be no difference, same error.

I'm only using vmware tools for automation (shutdown/reboot), all i need is vmware_guestd, and it seems to work without loading the kernel modules.

I ended up editing /usr/local/opnsense/scripts/vmware/setup.sh commenting out loading of kernel modules.

Code: [Select]

export vmware_guest_vmblock_enable="YES"
export vmware_guest_vmhgfs_enable="YES"
export vmware_guest_vmmemctl_enable="YES"
export vmware_guest_vmxnet_enable="YES"
export vmware_guestd_enable="YES"

#/usr/local/etc/rc.d/vmware-kmod start (commented out)
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/vmware-guestd start

I have no clue weather this is the right way to do it, but i works for me, however for simplicity it would be nice to have a os-vmware-guestdonly package.

I don't know why the kernel modules is no able to load, and i don't know what ABI mismatch is.

Let me know if there is anything else i can do to help ?

General Discussion / Re: [SOLVED] Any one saccses to install vmware tools on vmware workstasion 11.1.2 ?

« on: October 13, 2015, 09:00:36 am »

It was just with the version downloaded from the images yesterday, i reproduced both with and without updates.

The one i have working was from last week, i thing i have upgraded it fully, and then installed the tools, no issues. If i remember correctly i think i saw an upgrade of the os-vmware being installed too.

I will reproduce later today or tomorrow, and give you a decent report ;-)

Are the log files for installing updates saved somewhere, then i can post them too, there were some errors shown.

Hi there, very simple...

# pkg install os-vmware

This is a sneak preview of our plugin system. It has problems but it gets the open-vm-tools-nox11 installed for you and starts all things on bootup. We're still sorting out early load of the kernel module to enable vmx drivers without fiddling with /boot/loader.conf yourself.

Worked fine last week, but after todays updates, on a clean install, there seems to be problems:

Loading VM*** kernel module: KLD vm***.ko: depends on kernel - not available or version mismatch.

How to solve, last weeks install is still working fine, even after updates...
