Yes, I already know about rpm and the package manager that OpenSUSE uses (and I know Tumbleweed is a rolling distro, Gentoo is one of these too and that's why I chose Tumbleweed as a replacement), I already have a Tumbleweed installation in a VM that I play with. If you want to migrate to an Opensuse stable version you have to choose Leap and normally you will decrease dramatically the third party softwares problems. So, I don't know the reasons why you want to migrate to Tumbleweed but you have to know before that Tumbleweed is a rolling release and despite it's stable you have to solve regurlaly some problems with third party softwares like Nvidia proprietary drivers or VMware. Like "rpm -ivh name-of-the-package.rpm" (just an exemple.) It is not really difficult to install RPM packages, just one command in root. I don't know about Gentoo but seems to be very different from Opensuse that's own package system use rpm. Is there a guide somewhere for this? Is manually installing the software trouble free for Tumbleweed? From the little I've read so far, I understand that no such package exists, so the user must manually install it. Seeing in Gentoo that there's a vmware workstation ebuild (package) from a third party repository, I am wondering if there's something similar in Tumbleweed. Since I'm considering migrating to Tumbleweed from Gentoo in my laptop, I need VMware Workstation for my work. He also answer me he had same problem of USB detections previous of this problem. His message with a lot of informations in console is visible here : I have posted this message on the VMware Workstation Forum ( ) and I have seen at least one guy in the same situation.


I don't know "who is" this USB Arbitrator.Īctually I'm in pain because the previous VM was uninstalled by installator. Seems to "stop" the process on installing the USB arbitrator. I'm running OpenSuse Tumbleweed with the 5.12.4-1-default kernel Rolling back VMware USB Arbitrator 19.9.1
