Impossible to get files shared, open-vm-tools or vmware tools to work after upgrading Fusion 8

I just upgraded to Fusion 8 and have been upgrading my VMs accordingly.  I went to install vmware tools as usual on Ubuntu 14.04, and the script or the pop-up said that the preferred method for this OS has been to use instead the open-vm-tools. I installed open-vm-tools, but my shared folders disappeared. I tried to install vmware-tools, since I found an old ad saying that would solve the problem, but he wants to only replace open-vm-tools.  I thought I would try anyway, but the installation fails with errors.  I completely uninstalled vmware tools and restarted open-vm-tools.  It doesn't seem to be a manual for the use of open-vm-tools.

If open-vm-tools is the preferred method to use ubuntu on vmware, how to bring back all the features (shared folders, etc.)  Why did every upgrade VMware accompanied by pain and hard to find answers?  Or maybe I'm being really stupid.

(this was originally released by chance in the wrong place.  It is now being published in the Fusion forum)

OK, I FINALLY got working open-vm-tools on Ubuntu.  I'm not sure that all that was necessary, but here's what I did:

  1. Completely uninstalled vmware tools using the uninstall program
  2. Open-vm-tools, open-vm-tools-desktop and open-vm-tools-dkms is installed. I am not sure I needed everything, but at least man pages were here who has helped.
  3. At one time I used vmware-user-suid-wrapper, which defined the Office on the appropriate resolution, but is not persisted until I upgraded to Ubuntu.
  4. Updated Ubuntu Studio ot 15.04 Vervet vives.
  5. VMware-hgfsclient will show you what is actually shared by the virtual machine, even if it is not mounted.
  6. To constantly rising stocks, I added the following to the / etc/fstab: "".host: / / mnt/hgfs vmhgfs defaults 0 0 ""
  7. Rebooted and everything works now.

Given that VMware now recommends that users use open-vm-tools instead of the deprecated vmware-tools, it would have been nice to have brief instructions on how to make the transition, rather than have me spend hours in trial and error until I have to work.

  • Not will not be up-to-date and exe. files as well as several other programs won't work after that I removed the Trojan horses today.

    I have two problems that first will not to day and exe. files as well as several other programs will not work after removing six Trojans today. I got the old fake security / you're not protected message led me to run McAfee and anti-malware that I solved the problem. It allowed me to meet Explorer but I tried to open the accessories of the calculator and it will not work, nor will my Rossetta stone. I can open these types of files under other users account on this computer. Help please.

    I suggest that you create a new user account for yourself (save all your files first of all that I hope are not damaged etc.). Then, you delete the old user account (but keep the files). Probably most of the programs have been installed for all users, so it should not be (I hope) a problem.

    Recently had to clean a computer infected with one of these software etc. rogue security and creating a new account (Administrator) so that the user has finished up and transfer its files to the new account. He was lucky. I hope you are too.

    Perhaps others may have other suggestions for you.

    Please make sure that the computer is clean of any infection etc.

  • Bridge how to get files to open in PS instead of ACR

    CC FOR 2014.  The bridge I want to perform an action in PS on several files, but open files only in the cab and then after asking the first to open in PS, the rest of the files won't open and so I can not perform the action on multiple files.  Here are the jpg files.

    In Bridge, I can't find any way to open the files directly in the PS instead of ACR, and I need this ability if I use an action or not.

    Please help, advise.  Thank you.

    If they are the FIRST lines of what you see is normal. All the RAW files always open in ACR first. To open all of the PS, you must select all in ACR, then click the Open button.

    There are also a setting in ACR preferences to open JPGs first of ACR. So if they are jpg, you have this option checked.

  • I want to limit the file sharing on a home network, Windows XP Pro (working group) to a specific user on a different computer.

    I can't get this username entered with success because I'm limited to only users on the computer, I'm trying.  I have Windows XP off file sharing simple.  Both computers running XP Pro and I can share the folder, but it is open to ALL.  Is there a way to do this?

    I would like to try to explain how it works.  You have XP Pro on Computer1 and you have disabled Simple file sharing.  It is a step in the right direction.  The facts are that the file exists on the computer 1 and is 1 computer to control what external connection gets access to this file.  Computer 1 can only validate combinations of username/password names he knows.  Is not in a domain, computer environment 1 includes only names of user and password that exists on the computer 1.  He cannot know or trust any combination of name of user and password that does not exist within itself.  The normal method, most people use is to create the same user on computer 1 that exists on the computer that connects and gives the same password that is used on the computer that connects to this user.  If this is the case, the external user connects seamlessly and have access if 1 computer gave this authorization to the user in this file.  Access can be controlled by right-clicking on the file or folder, select 'Properties' and then use the 'Security' tab to generate an access matrix.

    Authentication: When connecting to the computer 1 from another computer, computer 1 search first if the username on the computer connection exists on the computer 1.  If the user name of the user on the computer connection exists on computer 1 and passwords on both computers to match, the connection is established.  If the passwords do not match, the connection is refused.  If the user name of the logged in user does not match a user on computer 1, then the 'Guest' user is attempted.  If the guest user is not protected by a, then the user will resemble the user 'Guest' and 'Guest' appropriate access.  If the guest user is disabled on Computer1, and then the computer connection displays a name of User/Login screen asking the user to provide credentials (name and password) 1 computer can use and recognize to check that the user.  If a name of user and password recognizes that computer 1 is entered, then computer 1 authenticates the user with this credential.

    Of course, once authenticated, the user will have access to these files to which permissions have been granted to this user authenticated according to the KB307874.  XP cannot grant permissions to users, he knows not (obviously) beyond the 'Guest '.

    Bottom line is that you have discovered in a domain environment (workgroup), you MUST authenticate as a legitimate user who is (and who is not disabled) on Computer1.

  • Impossible to get files MP4 video to work it is to say 10/11

    Here's my project file:

    Dropbox - videotest.cptx

    It consists of 1 slide with a test inside video and 1 blank slide - that's all!


    I use 8 Captivate (same results in 9 Captivate) and no matter what I do, in a trial through SCORM cloud, IE 10/11 everything simply do not load video content at all. It just shows the superposition of loading, then it goes, and then it returns - just cycles forever.

    I use the fix IE 9 and which seems to be working (start the video apres.5 seconds instead of the right at the beginning of the slide), but it does help to get the course work in IE 10/11 in anyway.

    I tested all imaginable MP4 H.264 file variations with no luck. Here are a few others that I have gone through:

    I'm trying to merge two small projects and have the following questions:
    I tried to merge a set of files with my set of original files. The merged files will appear in a separate window. What's supposed to happen?
    I also have questions on where directory for merged files path should be. Should there be a certain route? It doesn't seem to work on network drives, only the C drive.
    Any help is appreciated. Are there instructions, in addition to the online help?

  • Problem of file sharing between Windows 7 and Vista using a working group

    I use a working group and have a shared folder on a computer that is running Windows 7 Home Premium. I'm trying to access the file from a computer on the same workgroup that is running Vista Business. It requires a username and password that I turn off password protected sharing on both computers and tried all combinations of accounts and passwords on both computers, but can not get access to the file. I'm sure I'm missing something and you would appreciate the help.

  • Custom Mozilla.cfg of the file no longer works after upgrade to v38.01

    I created a custom mozilla.cfg file which contains three main sections.
    First section locks several preferences.
    The second section modifies the chrome - cache the Orange button and add the menu bar.
    Section three adds a folder of bookmarks and links specific to our Organization.

    I also modified the local file - settings.js so that it points to my cfg file:
    Pref ("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
    Pref ("general.config.obscure_value", 0); This allows to deactivate the byte-shift

    After the v38.01, Firefox opens. He appears briefly in the Task Manager and goes. I started some tests and found that, if I comment out the line "pref ("general.config.obscure_value", 0);" in the local file - settings.js, FF opens but none of the settings I've specified are applied.
    I'm stuck because I have no idea what could be the problem. The allowed syntax has changed? The structure of the files has changed?
    I can post the cfg file if necessary.

    Thank you.

    Yes. This feature has disappeared.

  • text tool stops working after several type of layers, any idea why?

    Using CS5 update on Win 7 64 bit machine

    I often use an image unique background (a map) and then add multiple layers of arrow shapes and text to serve as a section for presentations of travel titles.

    Once I did two or three layers of different type, the tool just closes.

    It will not create a new layer and if I make a new layer, and then click the text tool, the bar appears but it is very small and no type will appear when I enter the text.

    I have to go back to zero, start an entirely new document or restart PS to get the tool text to start working again.

    Any ideas what is happening?

    or is it evil spirits?

    TIA,

    Lew

    EDIT

    I discovered that the guy is there, but the size is tiny.

    If I reset the size of 72 to 1072 is visible

    If the size is gone for this document.

    A new document is fine, but this document is dedicated.


    Check the resolution of the document - it is probably something weird.

  • Insert a picture from a file in the body of the message does not work after update to 24.6.0... ?

    Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit Machine
    All I get now is a framework with an icon "torn letter" at the top left of the image. I checked my settings... no joy. The cursor is too much to the right place. I've been inserting images without problem until today 11/06/2014 update @ 18:00 at the v24.6.0
    However, I am able to copy the image to the Clipboard in my graphics program and paste it into the message body at the level of the cursor without problem. Something happened because of this update. Love of Thunderbird... need this bad feature. Difficulty and or advise as soon as POSSIBLE please?

    Thank you.

    I answer myself. Despite the fact that I restarted Thunderbird twice as recommended, the problem continues as described. However, after making a stop with MS updates in the queue and them having been installed, the problem disappeared. Apparently, the start-up cold was part of the solution. Go figure. Any other experience never the initial problem as described?

    Ahh, I forgot... it is Windoze.
