According to the Fusion 8 user manual, Unity view on Linux is not supported.

Refer to page 26...

"Unity view is supported in several Windows operating systems, and enables you to use many Mac functions

with your guest applications.

Unity view is fully supported in virtual machines running Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7,

Windows 8, and Windows 10. Unity view is experimentally supported in virtual machines running

Windows Server 2003 (32-bit and 64-bit), 2008, and 2012."

That's correct, unity support was pulled from linux guests and hosts since Fusion 8 and Workstation 12.

I even blogged about it at the time, see also:
