1. Re: VMware Tools Compile Problem
1 person found this helpfulThe latest version of Ubuntu officially supported currently in VMware Fusion 6.0.0 is Ubuntu 13.04 with the stock default kernel.
Anything later then that will probably require a 3rd party patch and I've not looked of or seen one beyond the 3.10 kernel so you'll need to do some goggling!

1 person found this helpfulI am the developer for the file sharing feature and I will look into the latest kernel builds.
We keep on retesting as kernels change and will get a fix and a tools update out which will include a fix soon.

3. Re: VMware Tools Compile Problem
That's great, Steve,much appreciated :-) In the meantime I'm getting on reasonably well with SSH and SFTP. I will try drag 'n' drop as well.
UPDATE - Drag and Drop doesn't seem to work but maybe it's all part of the same scenario?

4. Re: VMware Tools Compile Problem
You are welcome and thanks for posting all the useful details.
I would expect that drag and drop to work still. That is less likely to run into this type of issue. But if it does not please let us know.
Also I have trying out the sshfs fuse file system which work as another alternative option for you too until the tools release is out.

I can confirm that drag and drop are not working on my system However I have installed sshfs and it works very well indeed

hi exiledpoacher,
thanks for raising this issues , i've facing the issues since vmware fusion 6 lunched ... i'm hoping that the team will fix it a.s.a.p so we can have better sharing with our osx. Btw, how about the sound ? do u managed to get it work ? mine, the guest sound not working ... if yours is working fine maybe you can help me configure mine ..

7. Re: VMware Tools Compile Problem
Sorry to say this, fenris, but sound has never been an issue, it just worked after creating both Ubuntu 13.04 and 13.10 beta guests in VMware Fusion 6!I'm sure you've already checked this, but do you have the sound device switched on in the VM settings file? The Ubuntu guest claims to have a Creative Sound Blaster AudioPC164V, AudioPCI128 card installed if I look in System Settings -> Sound. This site may be helpful:

The following patch will fix the
/tmp/modconfig-j0IFhU/vmhgfs-only/inode.c:1893:29: error: ‘struct dentry’ has no member named ‘d_count’
error:
-
10. Re: VMware Tools Compile Problem
Yes it is a simple fix to change the line of code to count = d_count(dentry) in HgfsPermission function in the inode.c file.
You can modify the vmhgfs.tar and then run the vmware tools install script which will rebuild the vmhgfs kernel driver and with that fix will get you going.
The fix is in the next point release now and should be available in the not too distant future. Note, I am not allowed to say when that is exactly even if I knew.

11. Re: VMware Tools Compile Problem
As for drag and drop:
Did you enable the vmblock component when installing the tools? Is the vmblock process running if you list the processes?
(It is a FUSE component.)

12. Re: VMware Tools Compile Problem
Hi Steve. First of all the patch works fine for Shared Folder access- thank you once again
However, Drag and Drop still does not work with the Ubuntu 13.10 build (but is OK in my 13.04). I would say the process is running since "ps -ef |grep vmblock" yields:
root 1623 1 0 10:09 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/vmware-vmblock-fuse -o subtype=vmware-vmblock,default_permissions,allow_other /var/run/vmblock-fuse

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the patch ... its work for the Shared Folder access - TQ
For me, Drag and Drop works well. "Host Drag to Guest" and "Guest Drag to Host"
