Re: Adding tests for Fedora Linux on VMware Workstation/Fusion

i actually have to retract my previous post/answer since today i went on testing latest VMware 17.6.1 on F41 KDE and it seems it has improved alot on now with hands of Broadcom... installer is simple and easy it shows more details on process. the issue comes on VMNET and VMMON sinse those need to be signed if using secure boot, but there is fixed the modules as for now those are now included so just need to create signing keys and sign and import to kernel

what i did is created directory /etc/pki/vmware
sudo openssl req -new -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout MOK.priv -outform DER -out MOK.der -nodes -days 36500 -subj "/CN=VMware/"

after that on current directory signing VMNET and VMMON
sudo /usr/src/kernels/6.11.10-300.fc41.x86_64/scripts/sign-file sha256 ./MOK.priv ./MOK.der $(modinfo -n vmmon)
sudo /usr/src/kernels/6.11.10-300.fc41.x86_64/scripts/sign-file sha256 ./MOK.priv ./MOK.der $(modinfo -n vmnet)

then import and reboot and sign
sudo mokutil --import MOK.der

the process is much simpler and actually fast and easy now to do
here is also really good broadom guide now how to do stuff install, reinstall remove and sign
