I had problems starting VMs that worked before. Also had the certificate error message when trying to check for an update. Saw a post here saying v6 doesn't work in macOS Sierra: https://www.igorkromin.net/index.php/2016/10/04/vmware-fusion-stops-working-after-macos-sierra-upgrade/‌ Does anyone else has this problem? No sure if I want to upgrade since people are posting problems with v8 here as well.
Right, so I edited /etc/network/interfaces and added dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 and it works now.

Suppose I have a Ubuntu VM, and I want to change its DNS, or give it a fixed static IP, should I change the settings within Ubuntu (/etc/network/interfaces) or should I be looking into VMFusion's settings? Reason I'm asking is because I have 2 VM's (different machine, but same network) with the same settings for VMFusion and same contents in VM's /etc/network/interfaces but a different /etc/resolv.conf. Hence one was able to download file via wget, and the other has a `unable to resolve hostname` error.

So I have a VM with IP 172.16.xxx.xx. Network setting is "Share with my Mac". My host (mac) can see the VM (ubuntu), and VM is able to connect to the internet. But my phone in the same network (via wifi), is not able to connect to this VM. Any idea how to make it see the VM? I have tried setting adapter to use Wi-Fi under bridge networking, but ubuntu doesn't seem to be able to configure for it? Update: So I found out that it has something to do with the router's settings. I tried setting up a new VM with Wifi as Bridge and it works with my home network. Any idea how I can configure the office's router so that the WiFi bridge networking will work?
So I'd replace the .vmx file and its now saying "The file specified is not a virtual disk".
It's not important to recover as I had already move on with my backup. But I think I'll attach the vmware.log here anyway, to see if it fixes the problem.

Hi Wil, Thanks. But I think I screwed it up. My VM is in an external HDD, so I only have the `Verify Disk` option. Turns out it found some problems so I proceeded with the `Repair Disk` option. Now VMF complaints that .vmx file is corrupted and looking into it, yeah it is now a bunch of garbage characters now. So I guess that's the end of hope to recovering? Its not crucial cause I have a physical copy of the VM that works, only lost a couple of changes. Could you advise what kind of troubleshooting we could do ourselves if we encounter such problem again? The `Verify Disk Permissions` button in Disk Utility is disabled for external HDD. Unless you wanted me to verify VMF's permission instead?

Somehow opening a VM causes an "internal error". It was fine, until I opened /Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/vmnet8/dhcp.conf but I didn't save it. In the .vmwarevm file, there's 3 files that look suspicious. - 564d1a43-8310-eeb8-6061-59edf8f3ac85.vmem.lck - Virtual Disk.vmdk.lck - 564d1a43-8310-eeb8-6061-59edf8f3ac85.vmem Can those be removed? Is it possible to recover from this error? VMFusion 6.0.4
Is there any settings to keep IP address of the VM the same? Having trouble when accessing in another device and IP changed.

Thanks again so much for helping. This really solved the trouble of the work around I'd been doing. So it really turns out that I had to do a apt-get install vim to fix all those weird behaviors. Changing /etc/vim/vimrc.tiny to set nocompatible helped fix the arrow keys but didn't fix the backspace keys and some commands like ci" or caw. But apt-get instal vim seems to fix everything I used.

Thanks for the link. I tried, but it still doesn't work. Problem might be due to VM cause I don't have problems with using VIM in iTerm2 on my local machine, or VPN via SSH. Its only when I SSH to the VM that causes VIM to break.

VIM insert mode doesn't work properly with Ubuntu 14.04.1 VM via SSH. For example left arrow key causes current line to be pushed down, and a character D inserted instead. Shortcut like ci" doesn't work as well. Anyone having this problem too? Most likely a VMFusion problem since I don't have this problem with my VPN. Using iTerm2 and VMFusion 6.0.4.

I can ssh into the VM (Ubuntu) and the VM has internet access. Everything works fine, but I want to access the VM with my mobile which is connected to my mac via the same WiFi network. How can I achieve this? Have tried Bridged Networking with WiFi but I couldn't access the ip shown in VMFusion. Update: I did the Bridged Network with WiFi again and reboot the VM. It is able to connect now. Thanks.
Is it possible? Can someone provide the steps required with examples? Thanks.
