VMware tool stopped working on Ubuntu 11

• 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.

• VMware Tools stops running

  Hello

  I have an ESXi 5.1 U1 installation with a guest Windows 8.1 vSphere and problems with VMware Tools on this client. VMware Tools is installed, and that client vSphere summary screen says that it is running and the current, but after a certain time (do not know exactly how long, but I guess 20 minutes) VMware Tools stops running, resulting in people not being able to use remote desktop to connect to the host. As soon as I open the console to the guest in vSphere Client and click on the login screen then VMware Tools begin to run again and people can use remote desktop.

  I tried to reinstall the VMware Tools, but that had no effect. Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Richard.

  This sounds like the windows 8.1 client goes in some form of hibernation... you have all power saving / hibernation configured?

• The crop tool stopped working properly.  Everything is reduced to 17.6 kb.  Is there any solution for this?

  All of a sudden the crop on 12 items Photo tool stops working correctly.  After selecting and cropping, the photo gets reduced to 17.6 kb, goes to the bar higher and cannot be reopened at the bar.  Y at - it a fix for this problem?

  I don't know what that means. In any case reset the default cropping tool. To do this, on the options of the crop on the right tool bar look for a box with lines inside. Click and reset. Who can fix it.

• VMWare Tools stopping

  I use a Win2003 VM on an ESX 3.5 with about 10 other VMS server. VMware Tools on the Windows 2003 server will stop randomly running and I have to restart manually. It stops eventually again and I have to restart. I don't have this problem with any other vm. Does anyone know why this might be happening or how to fix it?

  Thank you

  Scott

  for me it looks like you have some problems with this prompt.  I didn't have the problem, you see, but maybe the bottom of this thread can help, even if it is quite old.

• Text tool stopped working.

  My tool suddenly stopped working.

  If I try to put some text, it seems to work in what I see a bounding box and all that.

  But I do not see the type itself.

  And nuance in the control panel Gets a "?" to place a color.

  I reinstalled Photoshop CS4 and it still occurs.

  The only cases I can think it could possibly is 1. I had a recent update to Acrobat and 2.  (and that's when it happened) I copied the text from Illustrator and tried to paste it in Photoshop. Don't know if one of these two is weird but I thought I would mention it.

  I'm on a Mac Pro 2008 with 8 cores, 16gig or ram running the latest updates for Leopard.

  Can anyone help? Not being is not able to use the type in Photoshop is a disaster.

  Have you tried to reset the text tool?

  

• Help... my tool stopped working

  I don't know what I did to break.  One day it worked fine and then I created some custom settings (for setting tool), and then it stops working properly.

  That's what I see:

  When I click on the Brush tool, then click on the image, nothing happens.

  When I click about to see where I painted, rather than get the bright red in these areas, it shows just a light opaque red.

  It's the only thing that is not working properly, and I'm in a lot of trouble because I use to work.

  Can someone please help?

  When you choose the tool, don't you see these settings? See how the "flow" is set to 100?

• VMS with VMware Tools ESXi5 works for host ESX4.1?

  Hello

  Just upgraded a 4.1 ESX host to ESXi 5 host in a Cluster of 3 armies.

  We observe that VMware tools running obsolete for the virtual machines on the host ESXi5.  We would like to know if we apply the latest VMWare tools on those virtual machines, they run correctly when they are transferred to ESX 4.1 hosts?

  Thank you

  VMware Tools version 5.0 is compatiable on 4.x, but the virtual hardware version 8 is NOT compatible on 4.x

• Photoshop CS6 recently why Marquee and Lasso tools stop working correctly?

  I purchased Production Premium CS6 several years.  Recently, my marquee selection tool and lasso will not bring a selection once.  In order to reuse them, I have to restart Photoshop, but can only use the tools once. I can't use the shortcut (Ctrl Alt Shift) when opening Photoshop to reset the default preferences because Photoshop does not open when Ctrl Alt Shift are pressed and held.  I tried the manual technique to reset the preferences by removing the preferences of psp file.  But the end result is the same - the tools work only once.  It's happening now with the type tool as well.  I tried to see if my graphics card is causing the problem, but it's not.  In fact, the selection tools work not at all when I 'use the graphics processor' unchecked.  I have the latest update for Photoshop: 13.0.1 x 64 what do I do now?

  Well, the problem has been resolved.  I recently installed the software synergy to share my keyboard and mouse between two computers.  As soon as I stopped synergy, the selection tools in Photoshop worked properly.  Synergy also caused selection problems in Microsoft Word.  Thanks to all those who responded so quickly to my question.

• Liquefy tool stopped working properly need help ASAP!

  OK, so last night, I used the Liquify tool on a selected area of the image and it worked fine. Well, now when I select my domain and try to use it, it just distorts the space and does nothing else. The options and display of fluidity never developed. I think it's just repeating what I did to liquefy the last time that I used it instead of giving me the opportunity to do what I have to do. It just won't let me do SOMETHING with the tool other than warping (what I think is the "repetition" of the previous use effects) everything else in photoshop works very well for me, that's the only problem I have. Prior to this, it would break just when I tried to open to liquefy, but I fixed that by changing the video codecs/plugins to those who work with him so that he is no longer a problem, it doesn't freeze or anything like that. So why is he just repeat what I did last time? Why can I not USE the effect? Help! Laughing out loud

  Are you clicking on the fluidity of everything at the top of the menu filter where the last used filter has a Cmd / Ctrl + F shortcut, or in its usual position below the menu? If the former then hold down the Opt/Alt key when you click the top element (or pressing Cmd / Ctrl + F) to open the dialog filter instead of just re - apply the last used filter.

  

• 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.
