Vagrant VMware Utility + openSUSE Tumbleweed

I recently switched back to using VMWare Workstation (17.0.2) with Vagrant (2.3.7) this time with openSUSE Tumbleweed instead of Fedora, and found that every time I restarted, the Vagrant VMware Utility (1.0.22) would “fail to communicate”.

To fix this, I ended up created the following shell script to ensure the service was loaded correctly:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

sudo systemctl enable /etc/systemd/system/vagrant-vmware-utility.service
sudo systemctl restart vagrant-vmware-utility.service

Save this as a your_filename_here.sh, ensure it is executable, and run it:

$ chmod +x your_filename_here.sh
$ ./your_filename_here.sh

FileZilla Pro .desktop file

For anyone who might decide to purchase a license for FileZilla Pro for Linux – Pop!_OS (Ubuntu) in my case – and you want to have an icon to open the application instead of using the command line, try the following:

Extract the files (assuming your bz2 file is in your Downloads folder)

$ cd Downloads
$ tar -xvJf FileZilla- (tab to autocomplete)

Move it to some place nice

$ sudo mv FileZilla3 /opt

Then create the .desktop file

$ vim ~/.local/share/applications/FileZilla.desktop

Paste the following text
