VMWare - Kernel module installation

So I installed VMWare. When I want to start it, VMWare says it needs to install "VMware Kernel Module Updater". If I click the install button then it needs the root password and after that it show this window.

The log file looks the following:

Now I tried to fix it via

 vmware-modconfig --console --install-all 

(I installed all dependencies according to the Wiki, but i'm not sure if i installed the "ncurses5-compat-libs" correctly. I executed the PKGBUILD and issued the command in the installed directory)
The command puts out the following:

Re: VMWare - Kernel module installation

AUR vmware-workstation package does not ask to install "Module Updater".

I suggest you do the following steps:
1) Completely remove vmware workstation including kernel modules
2) Install modern AUR package manager
3) Install AUR vmware-workstation package
4) If you are running custom kernel execute "sudo dkms autoinstall" command

And it is strange that vmware looks for config files in "/root/.vmware" directory. Do you run it as root? vmware player should be launched under normal user.

Re: VMWare - Kernel module installation

Stefan_xyz, before doing anything else read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VMware thoroughly.

Tell us whether you are trying to install a bundle or one of the aur packages.
Remove the current vmware installation and follow the wiki for your chosen method.

If you do want to use an aur package, read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … Repository .
AUR helpers are not needed for building aur packages.
IF you feel the need for aur helpers wait until you know enough about building packages to determine which helper suits you.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
