VMWare tools not working completely on kernel 3.18

[PePeLeGal]

Today is a great day: the kernel was upgraded from 3.14 to 3.18.
But we have an issue: VMWares tools, most specifically HGFS (Host-Guest File System) were unable to compile and it is not working. So, if you use vmware feature to share folders between host and guest, I suggest you to wait for a solution and stay on 3.14.

If anyone has a solution, please, report bellow.

[R.3volv3.R]

first you must install your linux headers on kernel 3.18:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`

then reinstall vmware tools ...
i've done ..

[PePeLeGal]

Thanks for the tip!
I've done it before and didn't work.

Now, at 2015-02-03 12:57 UTC, I can't find kernel 3.18 on repositories. Have these kernel (3.18) removed from the repositories? Can someone confirm?

[PePeLeGal]

Ok, at 2015-02-03 20-04 UTC, I've noticed the responsible team has put back into the repositories the 3.18 kernel again. And again, the HGFS is not working.

I've taken the steps bellow:
- uninstall vmware using vmware-uninstall-tools.pl
- reboot
- apt-get update
- apt-get upgrade, then comes 3.18
- apt-get dist-upgrade, then comes more 3.18
- reboot
- apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
- reboot
- then finally, vmware-install.pl

The "uname -a" of this new kernel is "Linux kali 3.18.0-kali1-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.18.3-1~kali4 (2015-01-22) i686 GNU/Linux".


The error message that appear is:

Before you can compile modules, you need to have the following installed...

make

The filesystem driver (vmhgfs module) is used only for the shared folder
feature. The rest of the software provided by VMware Tools is designed to work
independently of this feature.

If you wish to have the shared folders feature, you can install the driver by
running vmware-config-tools.pl again after making sure that gcc, binutils, make
and the kernel sources for your running kernel are installed on your machine.
These packages are available on your distribution's installation CD.

Really anoying! This way it is not possible to use VMWare HGFS with Kali kernel 3.18.

Anyone with a solution is welcome.

PS: Before somenone ask: make, gcc and linux kernels are all installed.

[PePeLeGal]

Solution found. I hope VMWare release a official solution soon, until this moment arrive, it is possible to use this:
http://docs.kali.org/general-use/ins...ols-kali-guest

[w0lverine00x90]

PePeLeGal,

I am having the same issue and I went to http://docs.kali.org/general-use/ins...ols-kali-guest

At the command:

apt-get install git gcc make linux-headers-$(uname -r)

It says: it is unable to locate package linux-headers-3.12-kali-amd64
And : couldn't find any package by regx 'liniux-headers-3.12-kali-amd64'

Any suggestions?

[hopes]

Tried to install the VMware Tools Patches https://github.com/rasa/vmware-tools-patches as explained here
but it still fails to patch hgfs modules and shared folders do not work.
Running VMware WS 10.0.4 and VMwareTools-9.6.2-1688356.tar.gz (which is supposed to work) under Linux kali 3.18.0-kali1-amd64

Any hint?
Thanks a lot

The VMware Host-Guest Filesystem allows for shared folders between the host OS
and the guest OS in a Fusion or Workstation virtual environment. Do you wish
to enable this feature? [yes]

The module vmhgfs has already been installed on this system by another package
but has been marked for clobbering and will be overridden.

I uninstalled previous vmwaretools version using vmware-uninstall-tools.pl

Could you kindly point me to a working solution?
I really need shared folders within my Lab setup.

Thanks a lot

[w0lverine00x90]

I am still having trouble with shared folders with vm-tools but another solution is to use winscp from a windows vm to the kali vm or set up a mount in kali and have your host machine connect to it.

[hopes]

Fixed for me upgrading to VMwareTools-9.9.0-2304977.tar.gz

Help me plz Guys!

I was running into the same issue with vmware, when I ran the command uname -r it displayed my kernel as 3.14.0, but when I click on the vmware GUI menu browse button the pop window show I have 3.18.0
I came across this http://www.blackmoreops.com/2013/10/...-repositories/,
I did dist upgrade and reboot my vmware worked like a charm.
Hope this might help.
