[ok, I admit that I am trying out the kubuntu beta for 14.04, trusty tahr. it has trouble with screen resolution under vmware, but I have fixed most of these.]
I installed the latest vmware tools on the latest vmware fusion 6.0.2.. everything installed fine, and then I rebooted. (I also installed and then uninstalled open-vm-tools, and then reinstalled vmware-tools when nothing helped.)
so, I have fusion sharing ("Shared Folders") turned on, both for my main OSX root and for my /Users/me folder. on my linux vm, there is a /mnt/hgfs, but it is empty. nothing seems automounted.
how do I find out what sharable .host directories there are?
how do I mount?
mkdir shares
mount .host://Users/me ./shares
fails, as does
mount -t hgfs .host://Users/me ./shares
(this seems unnecessarily complicated. why couldn't vmware fusion just access the host file system, the same way it can access an external disk drive?? if I authorize it to do this, it should be painless...)
