Hi,
I followed instructions on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … _in_VMware.
vmware-user-suid-wrapper does not start automatically but i did add it to ~/.xinitrc.
.xinitrc File content:
exec ck-launch-session gnome-session
vmware-user-suid-wrapper
[Solution 1]
removed vmware-user-suid-wrapper from ~/.xinitrc and created this file:
/etc/xdg/autostart/vmware-user.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=VMWare User Agent
Exec=/usr/bin/vmware-user-suid-wrapper
Icon=system-run
Comment=Enable Unity, DnD, etc.
drag & drop is not working in GNOME standard mode (works in fallback mode), clipboard copy&paste is working. XFCE4 seems to be working OK.
Unity is not working at all, I get the message that vmware tools are not installed.(Not working both in GNOME and XFCE4)
Linux version 3.3.2-1-ARCH (tobias@T-POWA-LX) (gcc version 4.7.0 20120407 (prerelease) (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Apr 14 09:48:37 CEST 2012
open-vm-tools 2012.03.13-2
gnome-shell 3.4.1-1
Kind Regards,
Robert
<<First version of question>> I reverted to a minimal arch install snapshot and did a re-install of gnome,open-vm-tools. The glibmm-2.4 problems magically disappeared (somehow it was fucked up)
Hi,
I followed instructions on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … _in_VMware.
3D Acceleration is working and GNOME does not start in fallback mode, however I can not get Unity, Drag&Drop and Clipboard to work.
open-vm-tools daemon is running. I have also added vmware-user-suid-wrapper to ~/.xinitrc.
I also tried to upgrade my whole system from the testing repositories, by doing this I get open-vm-tools 2012.03.13-2(release 2). With release 2 of the same tools clipboard is working but still no luck with drag&drop and Unity.
Im also trying to build my own version of open-vm-tools 2012.03.13-1(I would like to use it as a template to later build official open-vm-tools stable-8.8.2 package), but makepkg fails. I tried to add -fpermissive flag to CXXFLAGS in /etc/makepkg.conf but it doesnt help. Log trace at the end of this msg.
Installed packages and Software:
open-vm-tools 2012.03.13-1
GNOME 3.4.1-1
Linux version 3.3.2-1-ARCH (tobias@T-POWA-LX) (gcc version 4.7.0 20120407 (prerelease) (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Apr 14 09:48:37 CEST 2012
Thanks for you help. Sorry for the question but I'm a Widows n00b, trying to get a grip on Linux.I really like Arch, because I love control over my box.
Kind Regards,
Robert
