VMware Tool Vmhgfs shared folder failure handling for Ubuntu client Installation

VMware version: 10.0.0 build-1295980

Ubuntu version: 3.13.0-62-generic

The first installation of the VMware Workstation CD-ROM in the Vmare Tools package, after the installation has not produced VMHGFS module;

You can consider this method to fail and then install Open-vm-tools based on the prompts on the web, using the command line:

sudo Install Open-vm-tools

After the installation is complete, there is still no successful VMHGFS module;

Finally, according to the method in Https://github.com/rasa/vmware-tools-patches, execute the following command line successfully;

$ git clone https://github.com/rasa/vmware-tools-patches.git$ cd vmware-tools-patches$. /patched-open-vm-tools. SH

The root cause of this problem is that the source code in the vmwaretools***tar.gz package that the VMware Workstation comes with does not match the Linux kernel;
