Symptoms : Mainly in the Ubuntu14.04 installed with VM11 in Win7, after installing the VMware tools that come with it, there is no shared folder that was previously set up in/mnt/hgfs.
carefully review the installation process and found that there was an error while compiling the VMHGFS/MODULE.O. There are few explanations of this kind of problem on the domestic website, and an article has been found[link]It is stated that the use of Vmware11 and ubuntu14.10 under Win8 has not solved my problem. the specific solution is to refer to an English web text[link], the steps are documented as follows:
Installing Open-vm-tools This is probably the simplest way to implement VMware tools functionality in a client. apt-get Install Open-vm-toolbox
The following is another solution that is proven effective and has a good curative effect.
installing VMware Tools discover my current kernel version via Uname-r is 3.13.0-52, the VMware tool used is version 9.9.2-2496486. Some warnings and errors occur during the compilation of VMware Tools, and some patching of VMware Tools is required to complete the installation. cd ~apt-get install git gcc make linux-headers-$ (uname-r) git clone https://github.com/rasa/ VMWARE-TOOLS-PATCHES.GITCD vmware-tools-patches
Next, mount the VMware Tools image via the Install VMware Tools submenu in VMware's virtual machines menu, mount the VMware The vmwaretools-9.9.2-2496486.tar.gz copy in the Tools CD image to the previous download path, and then run the script:CD ~/vmware-tools-patchescp/media/lvonve/vmware\ tools/vmwaretools-9.9.0-2304977.tar.gz./downloads/./ Untar-and-patch-and-compile.sh
and then ... No, then, there's already a shared folder I want to see in/mnt/hgfs/. One remaining job is the 3D acceleration problem, VM11 can specify the memory size, but VMware Tools installed according to the method above obviously does not allow VM11 to correctly identify and manipulate the memory portion of the device.
