VMware Fusion Pro 11.1.0 Crack With License Key
Marguerite Litscher
I just installed Ubuntu 13.04 inside of VMware Fusion Pro 5. I have the virtual machine configured for read-only sharing of my home directory, but there's no /mnt/hgfs directory and there's no /etc/fstab line.
This results in a new mount command to be used for creating the shared file system. For Linux kernel versions we use the FUSE file system which will now mean you should be using the following command:
I was having the same problem, not being able to mount hgfs at all. I tried re-installing vmware-tools, then I tried installing vm-open-vm-tools and still no joy. I did notice that when I tried install open-vm-tools and reinstalling vm-ware-tools via vmware-install.pl, I got a failure notice for invalid gcc headers path. You can try this by installing vmware-tools without the -d switch for defaults. You will see the notice for the invalid path. I install headers with apt-get, you may or may not need to create a link to version.h. If version.h exists in /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/include/linux/, skip that step.
Installed the headers, I uninstalled open-vm-tools and reinstalled vmware tools using vmware-install.pl. This time hgfs was mounted correctly and my shared folder is there as well. Re-booted and it is still there.
I came across this question without realising that vmwaretools was actually failing to compile properly when I installed it. It seems to finish normally but actually has error messages, part of which look a little like this:
After upgrading a VM from Kubuntu 12.10 to 13.04 I hit the same problem using VMware Fusion 5.0.3 on OS X 10.8.3. Reinstalling VMware tools rebooting did not help. Some issue between the VMware drivers and the new kernel I guess (my new kernel version is Linux ubuntu 3.8.0-19-generic). I was able to access the shares using open-vm-tools as described in an answer by the OP but his last line has a typo and should read
If you are interested in running headless Linux servers for your development environment etc, I can also highly recommend to use VirtualBox instead. It is free, has extensive command-line support, and while running headless VMs Fusion loses most if its advantages (seamless GUI integration) over VirtualBox anyway. What's more, tools like Vagrant can even facilitate running these environments to a much greater extent. With the addition of a paid add-on ("provider"), Vagrant can control VMWare as well as VirtualBox for you3.
The best I can figure without hacking into the Dock is to set VMWare fusion to launch at boot and hide itself. The OS is designed to show apps that call for a graphical interface, so it's really up to VMWare to program their app to run as a background daemon if you don't want to work around this OS feature.
