File not found - darwin*.* #37
Comments
|
Same here. Maybe it's in Broadcom servers. |
|
Confirmed. There are only windows.iso and windows-x86.iso. I have no idea why? If it's really needed darwin.iso can be get at this link. |
|
Maybe the latest iso should be stored in another server as a backup, it could eventually be removed forever from https://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/fusion/13.5.2/23775688/universal/core/com.vmware.fusion.zip.tar Can you add the iso to https://github.com/BDisp/unlocker/releases or is there any legal issue? If don't modify the file I don't see any potential copyright issue. Maybe the mac build doesn't need anymore the iso? |
I don't think so. To backup them the link https://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/fusion/13.5.2/23775688/universal/core/ is enough.
I don't feel comfortable to add the ISO in the releases repo. If it's needed then is better using the mentioned link which may being obsolete for recent updates. I'm more about to think that the ISO isn't needed anymore. I really don't use VMware and I'm only maintaining this for the people who use it. I recommend you to delete the following lines in the Lines 49 to 52 in 8bccda8 or delete the following lines in the lnx-install.sh for Linux users: Lines 42 to 44 in 8bccda8 Then see if it's working anyway and please let me know. If it's working fine without the tools I'll remove them in the repo, otherwise we must find a solution for this that use updated ISO tools. |

The docs explain how to get the the Tools from Broadcom: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Fusion/13/com.vmware.fusion.using.doc/GUID-82AEC35C-D3DC-42F4-A84B-542B1D501D2B.html |

Can you guys please test the PR #38? Thanks. |
|
Fails on Windows 11: Do you need to use python to download file? |
Not in Windows. Sorry for not to properly test it. The error was due a bad compiled file. |
|
I made changes for the Linux batch. Can you please also test in Linux? Thanks. |
|
In Windows works now will check linux later: |
|
I think this is working as expected in Linux as well.
|
|
The macos vm has to boot and work the tools, I'll check as soon as I can. |
|
It works in Arch Linux too: linux logThe clipboard copy and paste works both ways, also screen resize. Didn't test much more.
I'm currently using vmware-unlocker-git, which still works and auto-patches on each workstation update. Could you add your project to AUR to do the same? |
I've no idea why. Do the Broadcom server has a stale version?
I didn't know that DrDonk/unlocker was alive. What the diference from add the project to the AUR? It's the first time I heard about. Can you advice please. Thanks. |
|
Please check if there isos are a newer version |
|
https://packages.vmware.com/tools/frozen/darwin/ is the same as https://packages-prod.broadcom.com/tools/frozen/darwin/. |
|
I reverted the needed of installing pip and requests dependencies and only using the legacy python libraries. |
Does this repos also download the VMware Tools? |
|
Installing pip modules globally is becoming more restricted due to security concerns, some distros expect to use venv more and more. hykilpikonna/hyfetch#188 I think one of the reasons that the Tools out of date appears, could be due to the tools being a different version when the host is Workstation (linux or windows) and when the host is Fusion (mac), and the Fusion tools is lower version, so that Workstation complains being outdated but in reality are update to date for their respective vmware. That could be because you are not expected to run macos as guest in Windows or MAC so it's not expected to have a lower version... Do you have any idea of this? Can you check if in Linux and Windows the tools installed by Workstation are different version than those installed by Fusion in macOS? Maybe you can check inside the iso or pkg or dmg files. As a note after installing Tools on macos guest, I don't see the tray icon which you can see on Windows guest, is that normal? In linux did not test as guest yet. |
Right. For security concerns I removed pip and requests and thus only the library that is installed by the original python software is used.
I've no idea 🤷♂️
I recommend that someone who is reading this can help you testing on this. Remember that the patch code is the same as the paolo has in his repo. That code was provided by someone anonymous on a site. For now it's working to show the macOS options, but may corrupt some others things in the original Workstation. I'm not affirmation that but it's a possibility. If it's true I don't have no idea how to fix that. I'm thinking to allow downloading https://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/fusion/ as before and try to extract the darwin tools. If not available then fallbacks to download from https://packages-prod.broadcom.com/tools/frozen/darwin/ or https://packages.vmware.com/tools/frozen/darwin/. This is take more time to get the tools but ensures that the origial url may provide a more update darwin tools if available. What do think? |
|
I added priority for the download in the packages folder and use the Broadcom server if it is not available. |
|
There's going to be a Workstation update, let's see if there's an update to Tools version and which servers are updated:
How can I see that? |
Thanks. I didn't know that VMWare Workstation 17.6 does not install 😄
I think the ISO are included in the source.
The vmware-unlocker-git only contains these files. I have no idea how it works.
|
|
I think this can be the PKGBUILD line that install the iso to filesystem: I still need to test if the iso is removed when uninstalling the aur package, and if Workstation still finds some iso when clicking on Guest OS > Install VMware Tools... Also need to check the versions of these 2 isos: Even if they are bit outdated, they still will work with newer version of macos, maybe some bugs or security issues can still be present but still will work for the most part, this is why the aur package has not been flagged yet as Out of date. |
|
I only will merge my PR when you're certain that all is alright. |
|
I'll wait until next Workstation version and check if Fusion also updates, don't be impatient. |
|
Files available here Fusion (fusion) and Workstation (ws) they are in .tar format now: |
But still doesn't contains the darwin.iso and the darwinPre15.iso files. Did you checked? |
|
Not yet, I'll try to find out. |
I'm getting this error on Windows when running win-install.cmd. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling VMWare Player but didn't work.
Also tried downloading the url directly https://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/fusion/13.6.0/24238079/universal/core/com.vmware.fusion.zip.tar , extracted the zip but didn't find darwin.iso in the path.
