Vmware : vmware kernel module update fail
Hi everyone (i missed you since yesterday 
!
Context :
I wanted to install vmware 12.5 on a arch with a kernel 4.12.13-1-ARCH
I've done the installation guide from the wiki, but nothing launched.
So I saw some forums where they say you have to downgrade libpng, what i did.
sudo pacman -U libpng-1.6.28-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xzIt worked : VMware kernel module update didn't worked well (Nothing was ok for the kernel module).
Then I kept doing some research I found that you have to change some lines in vmware code :
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=222520
Problem :
But it only solved me the "runing depmod" part
For now virtual monitoring service, virtual network service and starting vmware services isn't working
and I have those log messages :
