Skipping BTF generation for /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet-only/vmnet.ko due to unavailability of vmlinux So I did what I do when my car makes a bad noise I turned up the radio so I couldn't hear it and moved on.Īs far as the vmnet-only directory I'm not sure what file to modify. Make: *** No rule to make target 'install'. Now the 'Make' for vmmon went great no errors however the make install returned vmmon-only/ before doing the make and make install. Now after the install there is only the 2 tar files for vmnet and vmmon, I extracted those tar files manually (tar xvf vmnet.tar then tar xvf vmmon.tar) and modified the vm_asm_x86.h in.


(likely because its vmmon and not vmnet)īecause I had been messing around trying other methods before I found this post, I decided to start over fresh again, so I reinstalled VMWare WS 16.2. I tried the steps posted here but that didn't work for me. I've installed the headers with " apt install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname uname -r VMware compile fails with " Skipping BTF generation for /tmp/modconfig-9C2Ftg/vmnet-only/vmnet.ko due to unavailability of vmlinux"īefore finding this post I've uninstalled 16.1 and tried to install 16.2 (obviously that didn't work) I just upgraded my Pop!_OS to 21.10 (regretting this now) and I'm receiving somewhat the same compile issue, instead of vmmon its vmnet
