Hi, I'm switching over from VirtualBox to VMware Player, but still haven't found a version of Ubuntu that will work fine as client under Win8 host with the Shared Folders working properly. The first Ubuntu that I tried was xubuntu 14.04 beta, and the Shared Folders is NOT working because of the problem reported at, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2209291,i.e., make: Entering directory `/tmp/modconfig-bllaQt/vmhgfs-only' /usr/bin/make -C /lib/modules/3.13.0-15-generic/build/include/..

The rest of the software provided by VMware Tools is designed to work independently of this feature. I then tried xubuntu 13.10, everything seems to work from the surface, but when I am trying to access the Shared Folders, I found it to be extremely slow, or not working at all: $ time dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=1M count=33 33+0 records in 33+0 records out 34603008 bytes (35 MB) copied, 0.59162 s, 58.5 MB/s real    0m0.601s user    0m0.000s sys     0m0.602s $ time dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=1M count=100 100+0 records in 100+0 records out 104857600 bytes (105 MB) copied, 4.12474 s, 25.4 MB/s real    0m4.155s user    0m0.000s sys     0m4.148s $ time dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=1M count=300 Hangup real    1m24.837s user    0m0.000s sys     0m1.428s $ time dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=1M count=100 Hangup real    2m1.934s user    0m0.000s sys     0m1.411s $ time dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=1M count=33 33+0 records in 33+0 records out 34603008 bytes (35 MB) copied, 0.572458 s, 60.4 MB/s real    0m0.588s user    0m0.000s sys     0m0.587s $ time dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=1M count=100 Hangup real    1m21.987s user    0m0.000s sys     0m1.353s $ time dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=1M count=100 Hangup real    2m58.326s user    0m0.000s sys     0m1.430s Basically, it only works when file is under 33M, and normally not working if file is over 100M. I had (luckily) once had a 332M dd worked, and speed become 7x slower: $ time dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=1M count=332 332+0 records in 332+0 records out 348127232 bytes (348 MB) copied, 45.1659 s, 7.7 MB/s real    0m45.219s user    0m0.006s sys     0m6.027s My network is bridged network: So, how can I make everything works as expected, or which version of Ubuntu will work as client under Win8 host and have the Shared Folders working fine? EDIT: in case somebody asks, NO, I don't have VirtualBox running while I'm using VMware Player. Thanks
