    Hyphaed Specific to Ubuntu we have support till the latest Released Ubuntu 24.04.4.

    Looks like Ubuntu 26 is not officially released yet. Once it is released, requesting you to try on that.

    Also please update to the latest Workstation 25H2u1 and let us know if the issue still persists.

    I'm already using VMware® Workstation Pro 25H2u1

    Shouldn't be ready for Ubuntu 26.04 ?  Ubuntu 26.04 is a major LTS version to be released in few weeks, beta is coming now in March, in my opinion a healthy roadmap develop cycle will have Workstation to test now that beta is about to start

    Per your other thread, it looks like you already solved this (please don't post duplicate threads).

    For anyone else who comes across this in the future, this is the same as https://community.broadcom.com/vmware-cloud-foundation/discussion/sudden-ui-exit-on-arch-linux which was fixed in xkb.

    In cas this helps anyone else falling onto this thread: I installed a fresh Kubuntu 26.04 and latest VMWare workstation had this problem. The OS had the patched library but somehow AppLoader insisted in loading the bundled libraries from /usr/lib/vmware/lib. The libX11.so.6 included with VMWare workstation bundle does NOT have the patch yet. I solved the crash by copying my fresh system library over to the vmware lib directory:

    sudo diff /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libX11.so.6/
