tldr; im running into an issue with vmware-workstation, it has no internet (on a VM) using the offical .bundle package, i have tried to troubleshoot, which caused me to install from yay, but whenever i run vmware, ends in segmentation fault, then looked at archwiki, tried microcode, still core dump occurs on run
fyi: i can only use vmware-workstation because its for school purposes, i am using systemd-boot

hello! long-story short, i have tried for a week or so to install/fix VMware workstation on my endeavour install, but whenever i do, the VM i run has no internet no matter what configuration. it has been proven to be quite of a headache, where i have absolutely no idea what is wrong at this point.
i have tried:

  • microcode (more about this in a little bit, i mightve screwed up here)
  • installing from the offical .bundle package instead of yay, internet still doesnt work no matter what i do
    • any forum or video refers to the yay install instead of offical .bundle package for some reason, i have chosen the yay package, which is the one i am having issues with rn
Segmentation fault         (core dumped) vmware```

and so, i am now stumped with zero clue how to solve this. ๐Ÿ˜”

extra:
btw my `/boot` partition is actually my `/efi` partition, idk why, it came like that

tysm for helping and reading this
-# sorry if i do not respond in time, i have school, too, t is quite late during the time of this post. i will probably be asleep in 30 minutes from now
-# if you help me maybe ill gift nitro basic or like 400 robux if you want ๐Ÿ˜ข

or would it be better to post this on arch forums

update: im now just realizing it reverted back to the original .conf file, ill probably remake it tmrw, just imagine the initrd for intel-ucode.img is there

and afaik it has nothing to do with microcodes

#

just get the package and ensure you have virtualization enabled on the UEFI

#

.aw vmware

ik as this is how I got it to run fine

#

oh, and you need kernel headers btw

#

.p linux-headers

If using Zen kernel, you need it's headers

#

.p linux-zen-headers

#

Same for LTS kernel

#

.p linux-lts-headers

#

.p linux-lts-headers

#

.p linux-lts
