I discovered this by using the vmrun command-line tool: Apparently installing open-vm-tools package via pacman does not set the vmtoolsd service to start upon boot it has to be manually turned on. it was hard to troubleshoot and debug why it was hanging for me when I couldn't see the source code to follow what it was identified why the plugin was not working on my Arch box. If your box worked with HGFS before it will continue working with HGFS with the 4.0.9 Hi Mate, my comment about closed source was in reference to the Vagrant VMware plugin. Yes I also wonder why the boxcutter/ubuntu1404 works with VMware Tools installed instead of The previous plugin version's support for HGFS via kernel module (instead of FUSE) was not removed, and is still tried first. If there is a problem with open-vm-tools in a particular distro, try their issue tracker or mailing lists. IIRC the FUSE driver is in the linux kernel source tree (maybe other parts, too). with Arch Linux and open-vm-tools which might be difficult given its closed open-vm-tools is completely open source and is maintained by VMware. (Potentially any kernel after 3.10, 4.* for sure.) Try open-vm-tools first since newer kernels will support this. You do, however, have to identify whether you should use the proprietary VMware tools installer or open-vm-tools. There is a workaround which consists of installing open-vm-tools and then also using the proprietary vmware tools installer.įortunately you don't need to do this anymore. ![]() The only gotcha I notice is, that this is not working with the actual vmware-tools (the ones provided together with the VMWare This is because of a bug in the vmware tools installer which does not correctly identify newer kernels. They would not have been enabled before either. If your box does not support this then shared folders will not be enabled. Otherwise it sounds like it might be a breaking change for a lot of boxes that don't have this This is not a breaking change because this is new functionality. ![]()
