Thanks a lot for this wonderful blog. Now I can share files between Win XP and my Linux virtual machine.

I installed Ubuntu 8.10 in VMWare 6.0.3 and had no problems for a while. When trying to share folders my luck changed. It revealed that vmtools did not compile the vmhgfs but continued with installation and succeeded with most or all other things. This page helped me to determin this. Thansk very much for this page.

By upgrading VMWare to 6.5.2 and reinstalling Ubuntu 8.10 cleanly I got a flawless installation with filesharing immediately functioning.

Tested on
Host : Win XP
Guest Ubuntu 8.10 Ibex
VMWare Tools 7.8.4-126130
VMWare Workstation 6.5.1-126130

It works.

For the line “-vi compat_slab.h”, I used “-gedit compat_slab.h” instead because gedit works better in my Ubuntu 7.0.10.

Good luck!

This is cool! I was looking for this! Anyway, you still can use samba, FTP, and etc.

I have a 64-bit version of Feisty running in a VMware virtual machine under Vista Home Premium 32-bit. It seems to be working very well and it runs much faster than the 32-bit version of Feisty that I have set up as a shared boot (i.e., one that runs standalone rather than under Vista).

The thing is…

VMware tells me that my installation doesn’t support VMware tools. I’ve managed to do some sharing anyway, but it’s a real pain to set it up. Do you know if there’s a way around this, perhaps some sort of install directly on on the virtual Ubuntu system?
