I recent performed the upgrade to Kali rolling, however I cannot get the vmware tools to work. As per the instructions:
Code:
apt-get update
apt-get install open-vm-tools-desktop fuse
reboot
instead after reboot I do not have access to the VMware shared drives, screen resizing does not work, nor does the copy/paste.
Upon bootup I see the following errors:
Code:
[FAILED] Failed to mount VMware vmblock fuse mount
see 'systemctl status "run-vmblock\\x2dfuse.mount"' for details.
and
Code:
[FAILED] failed to start LSB: VMWare Tools service.
See 'systemctl status vmware-tools.service' for details.
so doing that we get:
Code:
systemctl status "run-vmblock\\x2dfuse.mount"
● run-vmblock\x2dfuse.mount - VMware vmblock fuse mount

Any pointers where I can look for more details and/or what to do to fix.
I have tried removing and re-installing the vm tools and fuse
Thanks
