What if you cannot share through the VMware shared folder after installing ubuntu 14.04?

Editor to share with you what to do if you can't share through the VMware shared folder after installing ubuntu 14.04. I hope you will get something after reading this article. Let's discuss it together.

Install VMware Tools

Through uname-r, I found that my current kernel version is 3.13.0-52, and the vmware tool version I use is 9.9.2-2496486. There are some warnings and errors in the process of compiling vmware tools, so you need to patch vmware tools to complete the installation.

Cd ~ apt-get install git gcc make linux-headers-$ (uname-r) git clone https://github.com/rasa/vmware-tools-patches.gitcd vmware-tools-patches1234

Next, mount the VMwareTools image through the install VMwareTools submenu in the "Virtual Machine" menu of VMware. After the mount is complete, copy the VMwareTools-9.9.2-2496486.tar.gz in the VMwareTools CD image to the previous download path, and then run the script:

Cd ~ / vmware-tools-patchescp / media/cdrom/VMwareTools-9.9.0-2304977.tar.gz downloads/./untar-and-patch-and-compile.sh223

And then. No, the shared folder I want to see has already appeared in / mnt/hgfs/.

There is an error here: prompt manual remove open-vm-tools, delete, shut down the virtual machine, set up the shared file, and find that you can see the shared folder.
