I'm not able to start vmplayer on debian 9 testing.
I tried:
root@debian:/home/rafal# apt-cache search linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Re: Not able to start vmplayer 14 on debian 9 testing
Why are you using such a rubbish virtualisation system?
Try an upgrade:
https://wiki.debian.org/KVM
^ That contains no proprietary code and requires no custom kernel blobs for full performance.
EDIT: also, Debian 9 is stable, not testing.

Dude thanks for your answer!
I have never heard about KVM but I would love to test it.

Re: Not able to start vmplayer 14 on debian 9 testing
I also believe that VMplayer can't build its modules on the 4.14 kernel without being patched. If you try and install it in the terminal, don't you see any errors? I leave it to you to do the necessary research to see if my first theory is correct.

Re: Not able to start vmplayer 14 on debian 9 testing
Can someone explain me how to configure connection in kvm between host(debian) and guest (winxp) ?
I added this to /etc/network/interfaces
I selected bridge macvtap.
Is it the right way ?
I added this to /etc/network/interfaces
Code: Select all
modprobe dummy
ip link add dummy0 type dummy
ip link add link dummy0 macvlan0 type macvlan mode bridge

Is it the right way ?

Also , many of the other results should be educational.Setting up bridge networking
---- snip---Between VM host, guests and the world
In order to let communications between host, guests and outside world, you may set up a bridge and as described at QEMU page.
For example, you may modify network configuration file /etc/network/interfaces for setup ethernet interface eth0 to a bridge interface br0 similar as below. After the configuration, you can set using Bridge Interface br0 as the network connection in VM guests configuration.

To let communications between VM host and VM guests, you may setup a macvlan bridge on top of a dummy interface similar as below. After the configuration, you can set using interface dummy0 (macvtap) in bridged mode as the network configuration in VM guests configuration.
modprobe dummy
ip link add dummy0 type dummy
ip link add link dummy0 macvlan0 type macvlan mode bridge
ifconfig dummy0 up

What is a Dude ? Didn't know , so I looked it up:What is a Dude ?, well at least it isn't really a insult, but certainly does not apply to me: This is the real me :https://youtu.be/fONXNEnwjBE
Dude,
With that said, Try reading a little more carefull:
Again, the wiki says:
https://wiki.debian.org/BridgeNetworkConnections
you probably need to read that as well, I know , it is complicated, and a lot of reading, but I don't know of any simpler way to explain it all.
There is also a link to the "QEMU" page, that is important reading.
Another thing, the code shown on the wiki, is not intended to be copy pasted
into you configuration ,note it says:
1.
showing resemblance in qualities, characteristics, or appearance; alike but not identical
) , and just work.
Sometimes you need to modify it to fit your configuration. It is just a example.
Some important points from the "BridgedNetworConnections" link in the wiki, and shown above:

Again, the wiki says:
Read further down, :By default, QEMU uses macvtap in VEPA mode to provide NAT internet access or bridged access with other guest. Unfortunately, this setup could not let the host to communicate with any guests.

Do you have "bridge-utils" installed ?The program you’re going to need is called brctl and is included in bridge-utils. Find it in Synaptic, or install it using this command:

Re: Not able to start vmplayer 14 on debian 9 testing
Sorry about this OP, I must admit that I've only really used Debian guests in QEMU
I use Arch & Alpine Linux as hosts and they allow the guest to access the host at the IP address 10.0.2.2 so all I need to do is declare that as the gateway in /etc/network/interfaces
I managed to grab 10 minutes on the family Debian box yesterday and it does seem a little more complicated there (strangely) so I will have to investigate more next time the machine is free...

After every reboot it's bridge is disappearing.

Please remove the "9" from the thread title, too, as it makes no sense with that in there.

Re: [+]Not able to start vmplayer 14 on debian buster
Thanks for posting your solution and sorry I couldn't help you more with this.
Would it be possible to change the title of the thread to reflect the solution?
Something like "[SOLVED] KVM and wireless bridging" would really help other people find this.

Re: [SOLVED] KVM and wireless bridging
And also it's important to disable firewall on WIN guest to be able to ping from host to guest.
To copy pest between host guest it's needed to install spice-guest-tools-0.2.exe on guest /win xp/.
At the end setup static IP and disable DHCP on guest.
Good luck!
