[SOLVED] VMWare Workstation Full 12.5.9 - Launching GUI issues

I am certain this is the final issue I will have. My apologies.

A few errors but I think they are all connected. I am running gnome if this helps at all?

Clicking on VMWare Workstation Icon in standard user will attempt to launch the app, it mentions it needs to load a few modules in the current running kernel.
- I enter my root password - it stops the service, attempts to load the Virtual machine monitor & Network Device, but fails giving me a log file I should see why.

Log file for this: (couldn't be kernel related because of >  kernel "4.14.13-1-ARCH" is valid.  Whoohoo! dig the Whoohoo! Message ^-^)

If I attempt to run:
# vmware

DISPLAY is not set, unable to open the VMware Workstation user interface.

I have tried the wiki documentation: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VMware
for the earlier versions but they do not seem to work with this one.

There is this too:

Re: [SOLVED] VMWare Workstation Full 12.5.9 - Launching GUI issues

After doing:

Kernel modules fail to build on Linux 4.13

On VMware Workstation Pro 12.5.7, the module source needs to be modified to be successfully compiled under kernel 4.13 [2].

# cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
# tar xf vmnet.tar
# mv vmnet.tar vmnet.old.tar
# sed -i 's/atomic_inc(&clone->users);/clone = skb_get(clone);/g' vmnet-only/bridge.c
# tar cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only
# rm -r vmnet-only

Virtual Network Passed! But the Monitor one is failing (clicking the VMWare Workstation Icon)

Plus
# vmware
Still complains about the DISPLAY is not set.

Re: [SOLVED] VMWare Workstation Full 12.5.9 - Launching GUI issues

Update, I attempted to load the vmmon.ko manually

cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
untar'd the vmmon.tar
cd vmmon-only
make

So I believe ythis is where it is failing, it cannot make the kernel for vmmon so I cannot move it to the export.
Would anyone know where I could get a patched version or an ealier version and see if I can shove that in to place?

Re: [SOLVED] VMWare Workstation Full 12.5.9 - Launching GUI issues

Got it, modified hostif.c: at line 1597 changing all three 'global_page_state' to  'global_numa_state' plus a few lines down for one that had something MAP.
It worked, gui launched!
