The errors from 4.2.0 - 4.10.0 don’t produce any vmware error logs but 4.0.0 - 4.1.0 produce the following two every time: /tmp/vmware-root/vmware-vmis-xxxxx.log T21:40:14.862-06:00| vthread-4| I125: Log for VMware Workstation pid=10354 version=e.x.p build=build-5378951 option=BETA tmp/vmis.gqOfQn/install/vmware-installer/python/pygtk/gtk/_init_.py:69: GtkWarning: could not open display Here’s the output for each version I downloaded when I attempted to run each installation bundle - 4.10.0, 4.9.0, 4.8.0, 4.7.0, 4.6.0, 4.5.0, 4.4.0, 4.3.0, 4.2.0 Extracting VMware Installer.done.įile "/tmp/vmis.1fH5UN/install/vmware-installer/vmware-installer.py", line 13, in Ĥ.1.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.0 Extracting VMware Installer.done. I tried downloading and installing all versions available here. I meet all the requirements laid out here

I asked around in the VMware forum but haven’t heard anything yet, although I think this community may have a better idea of how I can fix this.

This seems to be a problem with rolling releases in general as I was experimenting with Manjaro briefly and ran into the same issue. Here’s the problem: I can’t get the Horizon Client installer to run properly. I’d rather go with the rolling release distro since I’ve never used one and I like the idea of going more bleeding edge. I downloaded Tumbleweed and installed it in VirtualBox (still waiting on my new workstation parts to show up) and so far I love it. Security is pretty heavy at this job so there’s no way around it. I’m assembling a new workstation and after a little research I’ve decided to leave Xubuntu for openSUSE! I have only one requirement though: I need to be able to run VMware Horizon Client to log into my Windows 10 machine at work 2 days a week.
