dear fusion experts---vmware fusion 6.0.2. newly created gnome ubuntu guest, 13.04 . updated. I have Virtual Machines -> Sharing -> Sharing Settings set to on for my OSX home folder. I can run inside the guest the following:
I ran vmware-config-tools.pl . worked fine (me thinks; lots of scrolling, no error at the end).
I tried /usr/bin/vmware-toolbox-cmd help, but it's not that informative.
II also ran apt-get install open-vm-tools; again, no problem.
then, the coup de grace:
mkdir /mnt/osx ; mount -t vmhgfs .host:/ /mnt/osx
but I get "cannot mount filesystem: No such device." . so, right now, I need to figure out what .host is and what it exposes; and what services are not running that should be running.
this should have been pretty straightforward. this is standard sharing that a good number of people are presumably using. why is this hard?
