AUR Vmware Question

Hi,

When using VMWare Workstation from the AUR, do i have to worry about it breaking when the kernel is upgraded? I remember something about having to recompile the kernel modules before, but the AUR package seems to just use a daemon.

Thanks
Jack

Re: AUR Vmware Question

I only use vmware player, but the wiki entry on that has a similar story on kernel upgrades, the page is here:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … are_player

It looks like you need to rebuild the vmware modules package if vmware stops working, you can do this by downloading the source from vmware's site again, but you only need to do this if a newer version is available from their site. All of this is vmware player, but I think the same applies to the workstation version.
