Ubuntu 15.04 guest shared folders feature not working

I've attempted to use the tools from the player, use the open-vm-tools package. I even tried compiling open-vm-tools from source and I could fix some compilation errors but it got too complicated. After spending half a day on it, I gave up.
Running the vmware-config-tools.pl script gives errors.
Some of the output of running the script is below.
The VMware Host-Guest Filesystem allows for shared folders between the host OS
and the guest OS in a Fusion or Workstation virtual environment.  Do you wish
to enable this feature? [yes]

The filesystem driver (vmhgfs module) is used only for the shared folder
feature. The rest of the software provided by VMware Tools is designed to work
independently of this feature.
If you wish to have the shared folders feature, you can install the driver by
running vmware-config-tools.pl again after making sure that gcc, binutils, make
and the kernel sources for your running kernel are installed on your machine.
These packages are available on your distribution's installation CD.

Same issue. Apparently the VMWare Tools for Linux just haven't been updated for the newest versions of the Linux kernel.
Now that Ubuntu 15.04 has been officially released I'd guess a new version of VMWare Tools will be released shortly. I hope somebody from VMWare can give us a window of when we can expect this to happen.

  • I have downloaded a trial version of Dreamweaver CS6 to my MacBook. Why do some features not work?

    I have downloaded a trial version of Dreamweaver CS6 to my MacBook. Why do some features not work? I have OSX 10.6.8. I am using this trial version for a class I am taking on coding webpages using Dreamweaver. there are features I am using in class that will not open up or appear as options when I use the trial version. Are certain features locked out until I buy a copy or download a purchased copy?

    Trial versions have no functional limitations, though your setup/situation might not be supportive of all functionality.  You'll need to identify specific issues to get help with them.  You should be posting in the DW forum instead of here if your issue does not have to do with downloading/installing.

  • Versamail Auto-sync feature not working with AOL mail w/Treo 700p (Verizon)

    I'm having a problem with the Auto-sync feature not working with my 700p (verizon) with my aol mail.  It had worked perfect since May 2007.  Just started having problems End of April 2008.  Sounded like I needed another incoming mail server from aol other than:  imap.aol.com, aol told me they also use pop.aol.com, that isn't working either.  I get an error message that says "last auto-sync attempt failed."....Anyone else having this issue?  I'm trying to decide whether to get rid of my aol mail of 14 yrs and use other address to continue using versamail 3.5  or keep aol and use Verizon Wireless sync.  I do not like how wireless sync sends mail to outbox and then syncs vs sending right away.   Please help...
    Post relates to: Treo 700p (Verizon)

    I am having the EXACT same problem: Palm 700p, Versamail, AOL, Verizon. 
    It started about 1 month ago.  The GET still works, but AUTO-SYNC does not...After spending hours on the phone with Palm tech support, and reaching someone who said AOL had changed something in their servers.  They suggested TRYING Chatteremail, another Palm product.  I have tried it for 20+ days out of the 30 days you get for free.  It works pretty well, but NOT every e-mail that goes to my AOL acct is making it to my phone.  The thing that's great about Chatter is that can be "live" all of time.  Not auto-syncing every 15 minutes.
    It's very frustrating....The same way the Versamail just stopping auto-syncing is very frustrating.  With Versamail, sometimes I did not even get the error message.  If Chatteremail worked consistently, I would bite the bullet, and pay for it, but to pay for it, and have it not pull down all the e-mails, all the time is not good.
    I spoke to Palm Tech Support in N. America today, and they say the way AOL uses IMAP servers is in a non-traditional way, and it's very hard to deal with.  They suggest ditching AOL, and using something reliable for syncing purposes like GMAIL.  It's just hard to cut the cord.  The man I was on the phone with knew of my problem, and he solved it by getting rid of AOL.  It's just tough, since so many people have the e-mail address for me. 
    On http://mobile.aol.com/aolproducts/mobile-email/mai​l-client
    there seems to be some indication when you click on Smart Phones on left, that Coming Soon is Palm, but I don't know if that's going to be downloadable for 700p, or Palms moving forward.  Or how far away that is.
    I tried wireless sync and hated it.
    This is really a pain in the butt.
    *** Who did you speak to at AOL? 
    *** How did you reach them?  e-mail?  phone #?
    I also did a search and found another program called "Snappermail", which I might try, and see if it's any better than Chatteremail.

  • NAC OOB logoff feature not working

    Hi all,
    I've deployed NAC in L2 OOB VG mode with ADSSO and I'm trying to use the OOB logoff feature but it's not working. The VLAN change detect feature doesn't work either (I think the two problems might be related).
    It will work if each user role is assigned a different auth/access VLAN pair but in my setup, everyone has a common auth vlan and separate role-based access vlans. Because of this, I have to use the IP refresh feature as well (this works fine).
    I'm running Windows Vista and version 4.8.0 of the NAC software with version 4.8.1.5 of the agent
    I checked the release notes and found that caveat CSCth60233 identifies this bug with the VLAN change detect with the workaround being to refresh the IP address automatically after being logged out. Does anyone know of a workaround for this problem to do this automatically? Is a solution for this problem in the works?
    Also would anyone be able to help me with my OOB logoff feature not working? I've configured everything according to the documentation.
    I appreciate your responses

  • Sharing by email not working in PSE10

    Hi there.  I upgraded from 6 to 10 yesterday and things were going relatively smoothly until I tried to email some attachments.  I'm operating on a Windows 7 computer and was trying to share via email attachments.  I select my photos and the contact that I want to send it to and then it just goes into limbo with the little moving circle.  One time the actual message box came up, but then my attachments were too big, so I reselected some and I haven't been able to get the message box to come up again.  Just been trying to do one picture as a test, so its not a size issue at this point.  With an old computer I used to do it through Outlook, but don't have that on here as it is a work computer and we use Notes, so I was using the Adobe Mail Services option tied to an email which did get verified.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.  Amy

    Thanks for trying, but what you have suggested did not work.  Every time I try to share photos via email, the software crashes.  This is extremely frustrating.  As far as I am concerned, this software has been a huge waste of time and money.

  • Just updated to Iphoto 9.1.3 but the slideshow feature not working

    Just updated to Iphoto 9.1.3 but the slideshow feature not working at all. Screen goes white but any features selected, nothing is produced .The themes preview windows are blank too. is there something missing?

    Sounds like it.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • Guest Access to Internet NOT Working

    We have the E3000 Router and the guest internet access DOES NOT work. We occasionally repair other people's PC's and I seriously do not want to allow access to our home network. Can anyone PLEASE give me some fixes to this problem. Recently, we are trying to access through guest, on a Win 7 Dell Notebook. It takes the passcode but no internet connection. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

    What IP address do you get on that wireless computer?
    Check the IP address on that computer and make sure that there is no static IP address. You will get IP address like 192.168.33.xxx.
    Make sure that your router is running on the latest firmware.

  • I can't use shared folders feature in VMware

    Arch Linux is the guest system. Windows 7 is the host OS. I'm using VMware Workstation 10.0.1. After installing vmware tools (the original ones) I can't mount my shared folder. It says
    ~ mount -t vmhgfs .host:/ /mnt
    Error: cannot mount filesystem: No such device
    I've already searched the forum but I didn't find any solution to my problem.
    [Update]
    I think that it has something to do with the fact that vmware module sources are not compatible with the new UID and GID types:

    I admit that I have no idea about patching sources. I've found this thread. It helped me with patching the vmhgfs module. Unfortunately the vmci module is still failing to compile because it's not patched yet. I have no idea how to fix this problem.
    [Workaround]
    Well I gave up. I've chosen the easiest way - Samba.

    Hi.
    I managed to compile open-vm-tools and the kernel module against 3.14.5 kernel.  Here is the tarball with the all the files.
    I still have an issue : With vmware-player 6.0.2, I can't acces my shared folder :
    root@P146S011b ~ # lsmod | grep hgfs
    vmhgfs 41622 0

    D
    C
    root@P146S011b ~ # mount -t vmhgfs .host:/R /mnt
    Could not add entry to mtab, continuing
    root@P146S011b ~ # tail -1 /etc/mtab

    root@P146S011b ~ # cd /mnt
    cd:cd:6: not a directory: /mnt

    Forgot to add an install file with a depmod -a inside. You will have to run it by yourself

  • My Macbook Air does not show up on my network to any of my other computers, Other computers on my network appear and disappear, some shared folders are not accessible

    My Macbook Air with Lion does not show up on my network to any of my other computers (PC's) , even though it is connected to my wifi and does access the Internet. In addition, my other computers sometimes show up in Finder and sometimes they're not there. Sometimes they do show in Finder and when I click on them, I get "Connection Failed", other times, they connect. Also some shared folders on those other computers, which are PC's are not accessible, even though fully shared. My network is Apple Airport Extreme and works perfectly otherwise, including all PC's being able to see each other. Help would be much appreciated

    I got the same problem. I want to access my shared folder on my home windows7 from my MBA. Tried many suggestions on the web but all to no avail. I thought that should be very trivial. Maybe a Lion bug?

  • Windows 2008 R2 SP1 (64bit) shared folders no longer work with Windows 7 Pro but do work with WindowsXP & Windows 2003

    As of last week, our Windows 7 Pro workstations can not map or browse the Windows 2008 Server shares. They can ping the Windows 2008 server. The Windows 7 Pro machines can still access the Windows 2003 Server Shares. The older workstations running Windows
    XP can still map to the both the Windows 2003 & Windows 2008 Servers. All the servers can browse to each others shared folders (2 windows 2003 server & 1 windows 2008 server). 

    Ok, now you're down to network or permissions issues. An unedited ipconfig /all
    of server and problem workstation may help. You could also try setting up some auditing.

  • Shared photo streams not working in new iPhoto?

    I upgraded to Mavericks and the new iPhoto to be able to work with the shared photo streams I'd created on my iPhone, but they seem to be nonfunctional in iPhoto 11. I'll select photos, create a stream, and add the photos; the pictures will say "added to shared photo stream", but the stream itself will be entirely empty.
    Quite simply, iPhoto says it's creating and adding pix to photo streams, but it isn't. How do I fix this? It's sort of a major omission to have a prominent new feature not actually function at all.

    iCloud photo sharing, which allows subscribers to add photos and videos to a shared stream created by you, will not be supported until OS X Mavericks is released.  OS X Mountain Lion only supports shared photo streams, which does not allow subscribers to add photos.
    Notice that is says "(iPhoto and Aperture users will not see photos and videos added by iCloud Photo Sharing contributors at this time.)" under "What do I need to be able to like photos and videos in a shared stream" in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4379.  Also note that is says "Coming with OS X Mavericks" under "iCloud Photo Sharing" in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759.

  • Search feature not working most of the time

    My  search feature on my iPhone 4 rarely works anymore. After swiping screen from left to right or pressing HOME button nothing happens when I start typing. If I press the search button it will take a long time before responding.

    Sharing between Leopard and Snowleopard does not work reliably. For this reason, we do not recommend mixing Operating Systems.
    Hope this helps,
    Syd
