VMware Workstation 12 Pro Version 12.5.7 build-5813279.The default open_vm_tools package for Ubuntu 16.04 (and apparently other releases) do not adequately support mounting shared folders. I'm new here, not to Linux or VMwarL.)īuilding open_vm_tools Kernel Modules Problem (I would have added this to one of the other pages, but this system won't let a new user like me do that. I could not figure out what to put into /etc/fstab, so after each reboot I must disable/enable them.Ĭan anyone tell me how to make them survive a reboot?
But they disappear on reboot - disabling and enabling shared folders (in VMware Fusion settings) brought them back. Use open-vm-tools (for me they just came when I installed Ubuntu 16.04). I went several times around the loop switching between the two types of VMware tools until I stumbled on a solution: If you ignore that and install them, you'll get lots of compiler errors on vmhgfs (the kernel module that implements shared folders in Linux), and it will fail. When you do that and run the installer from the CDROM, it says to use open-vm-tools. To install #2 you must first do "apt-get purge open-vm-tools open-vm-tools-desktop". I am using VMware Fusion 8.1.1 and Ubuntu 16.04. Note also that the content of #1 has changed, and vmware-hgfsmounter no longer exists. The VMware tools installed from the VMWare menu (via a CDROM).The apt package open-vm-tools (and open-vm-tools-desktop).There are two sets that are quite different: There are many pages on this, but they are not all careful to distinguish WHICH set of vmware tools they are describing.
