SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 SP3 64bit. VMware Workstation 11.0.0 build-2305329.
Selecting Help > Software Updates results in "Disconnected - A certificate error occurred while connecting to the update server. Check your Internet settings or contact your system administrator."
This is not a transient issue, it has been like this since I installed VMware Workstation 11. I've found lots of threads about this problem going back years and not just on Linux hosts, but no solution.
Why doesn't this functionality work?
Is there a log somewhere that might give more info? I see nothing useful in ~/.vmware/ The only files in there that have been modified today are workstationUploadedData.log inventory.vmls and preferences.
How do I check for product updates in the absence of this functionality?
