Nesting: VMWare in Whonix/Debian

[miralda...@gmail.com]

Is nested virtualization possible in R3.1? I've looked at some of the other topic questions similar to this but I couldn't find a concrete answer.

I've been attempting to run VMWare in Whonix but I keep running into this error

"Before you can run VMware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel.

Kernel Headers 4.1.13-9.pvops.qubes.x8664

Kernel headers for version 4.1.13-9.pvops.qubes.x86_64 were not found. If you installed them in a non-default path you can specify the path below. Otherwise refer to your distribution's documentation for installation instructions and click Refresh to search again in default locations"

So far i've

> Downloaded 4.1.13-9.pvops.qubes.x86_64.rpm from https://ftp.qubes-os.org/repo/yum/r3.1/current/vm/fc23/rpm/
> Converted RPM to Deb with Alien

Still ran into the same issue

Is this supported yet or am I just wasting my time?

You may try the way you've tried, probably adding some symlinks etc
(check where that headers were installed). But I didn't see any
successful attempt...

On the other hand, you may try with kernel from Debian repository, which
have headers already packages as deb. Take a look here:
