VMware Workstation 12 Pro Version 12.5.7 build-5813279 The default open_vm_tools package for Ubuntu 16.04 (and apparently other releases) do not adequately support mounting shared folders. (I would have added this to one of the other pages, but this system won't let a new user like me do that. I could not figure out what to put into /etc/fstab, so after each reboot I must disable/enable them.Ĭan anyone tell me how to make them survive a reboot? (in VMware Fusion settings) brought them back. But they disappear on reboot - disabling and Use open-vm-tools (for me they just came when I installed Ubuntu 16.04). I went several times around the loop switching between the two types of VMware tools until I stumbled on a solution: That implements shared folders in Linux), and it will fail. If you ignore that and install them, you'll get lots of compiler errors on vmhgfs (the When you do that and run the installer from the CDROM, it says to use open-vm-tools. To install #2 you must first do "apt-get purge open-vm-tools open-vm-tools-desktop". I am using VMware Fusion 8.1.1 and Ubuntu 16.04.
