Hi everybody,
I have a serious issue when I try to install the new VMware Player 16.1.2 yesterday morning.
The installer uninstall my 16.1.1 version then try to install the new and fail... Just with this message :
I'm running OpenSuse Tumbleweed with the 5.12.4-1-default kernel
Seems to "stop" the process on installing the USB arbitrator ... I don't know "who is" this USB Arbitrator....
Do you have any idea ?
Actually I'm in pain because the previous VM was uninstalled by installator...
I have posted this message on the VMware Workstation Forum ( https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VM...2848465#M36816) and I have seen at least one guy in the same situation.
His message with a lot of informations in console is visible here : https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VM...U3xoSw#M170109
He also answer me he had same problem of USB detections previous of this problem.
One hint I suspect is that the new update of OpenSUSE eliminates the legacy 'chkconfig' for installing startup services, in which VMWARE still relies, So I had to start manually the vmware.service and vmware-USBArbitrator.services before starting the virtual machines. Then the USB periferics worked well.
So, I'm here because I don't know how to inform the Kernel's developpers of Tumbleweed about this serious problem...
Thank you very much for the help
Best regards
