Enable Shared Folders on vmware Fusion (4.x)+ (Example OS: Linux Ubuntu 12.x as guest OS)





1. First update your linux system:


sudo apt-get update


sudo apt-get install -y build-essential


sudo aptitude -y safe-upgrade





2. Reboot your system just in case you have a new kernel


sudo shutdown -r  now





3. Install the required headers if you have a new kernel (a MUST, as most problems are from headers mismatch)


sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`





4. Virtual Machines -> Install VMware Tools





5. Mount the CD-ROM (step "0" has added a CDROM to /dev/cdromX)





sudo mkdir /mnt/cdrom


sudo mount /dev/cdrom(x) /mnt/cdrom  # (x) is the next avail. cdrom, choose highest number





Note: If for some reasons, you don't get /dev/cdrom(x), then just look into vmware fusion application directory


and look for a linux.iso. Double click on it and you should see a .tgz file. move the .tgz file to your Linux (scp)


and you are ready.





6. Copy VMWare Tools





cd /tmp


cp /mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-<version>.tar.gz .


tar xzvf VMwareTools-<version>.tar.gz





7. Cancel VMware Tool Insallation





Bring your Linux vmware to focus


From the menu (VirtualMachines -> Cancel VMtool Installation)





8. Run VMWare Tools





sudo ./vmware-install.pl --default





Note: If you happend to have upgraded your kernal then just run this instead


sudo ./vmware-install.pl -d --clobber-kernel-modules=vmhgfs
이부분이 잴 중요하다!!!!




9. Restart





sudo reboot





10. Verify





ls /mnt/hgfs/





11. Done! Now enabled shared folders will show up in /mnt/hgfs/
