Ok so here is the issue, I have been using an older version of Garuda for a number of years now without incident and I was using VMware Workstation 17 on it quite nicely until one day a power outage came and nuked my hard drive out of existence. This forced me to get a new hard drive and load up the latest and greatest version of Garuda. I don't know if this matters or not, but just FYI, I'm using the XFCE version. So far, I have to compliment the developers, because I am still beyond impressed with this operating system. Absolutely everything works flawlessly fast without incident, except for VMware Workstation. I'm not sure if this is a Garuda issue or not but I thought I would start here at this forum.
Lucky for me, my VM that I was using with the older version of Garuda is on a hard drive with a USB 3 port so I can keep it portable. It worked nicely before, and it still works the way I need it to when I go to a machine with windows loaded on it. However, now that I have this newly loaded version of Garuda, I'm starting to get problems were none of my hardware is accessible. No DVD drive, no sound adaptor, no network access, nothing which leads me to think that I did or didn't do something to Garuda settings to make this problem surface.
I have provided a few screen shots to show you what I mean:
