I install Arch on VMware Workstation 6.5.2 and follow this guide http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … tation_6.5 to install VMware Tools, but I find that the VMware Tools is not correctly installed, because if I run command ps -e | grep ".vm.", the output should like this
$ ps -e | grep ".vm."
1765 ? 00:00:00 vmhgfs
3589 ? 00:00:00 vmmemctl
3637 ? 00:00:02 vmware-guestd
4090 ? 00:00:01 vmware-user
but what I get is like this
$ ps -e | grep ".vm."
3014 ? 00:00:06 vmware-guestd
the modules vmhgfs and vmmemctl are not created by the installation script, that is why although I add this line ".host:/ /mnt/hgfs vmhgfs defaults,user,ttl=5,uid=root,gid=root,fmask=0133,dmask=0022 0 0" to /etc/fstab and create a folder /mnt/hgfs, I still can not mount the share folder that I assign in the guest setting, the command vmware-hgfsclient confirms that the share folder is correctly assigned.
$ vmware-hgfsclient

Does anyone ever experience the same problem? and is there any solution to fix it? thanks for reply.

I just run the script vmware-config-tools.pl again, but the problem persists, can anyone help? thanks a lot.

This patch is for VMware Workstation 6.5.2 that runs on Linux kernel 2.6.29, not for the VMware Tools installed in virtual machine (guest).

Sorry. My translation was incorrect.
