Hi Kamil, Not sure if I understand your attempt correctly - there is no vmware-tools package available in the Red Hat repositories. KB Community Member 20 points. Kamil Barcikowski. No the vmware-tools is in redhat repository : [root svlngit01p vmware-tools-distrib] yum search vmware-tools Updating Subscription Management repositories.

Do not forget to regenerate the initramfs. Enable vmtoolsd. If this does not work, ensure the vmtoolsd. See [1]. Make the command vmware-user run after X11 by either:. Workstation 11 has a bug where vmware-hostd crashes if an Arch guest is running as a shared VM and vmtoolsd is running in the guest. A patch to open-vm-tools to work around the bug is here.

Most likely, this should only happen to open-vm-tools. Since the vmhgfs module belongs to open-vm-tools-dkms AUR [ broken link : package not found] , the legacy filesystem driver would not be upgraded by using the command pacman -Syu. Therefore, open-vm-tools-dkms AUR [ broken link : package not found] should be manually upgraded before the official repositories.

If a shared folder is not mounted after a system upgrade, then remove the shared filesystem automount, upgrade open-vm-tools-dkms AUR [ broken link : package not found] , run pacman -Syu , and finally regenerate the initramfs. Do not forget to restore the filesystem automount. Namespaces Page Discussion.

If any of them is not auto-detected check by running lsmod grep modulename and if it is required, the module can be added to mkinitcpio 's MODULES array. Note: There is no module for vmware-vmblock-fuse , and vmblock has been removed from the kernel unless you disable fuse. Instead, systemd services need to be enabled to allow these functions. See instructions below.

Tip: There is also a project in GitHub trying to automate these steps. Note: This functionality is only available with open-vm-tools v. Note: Xorg can be very slow with 3D Acceleration enabled. In some cases, llvmpipe software rendering is much faster. Tip: There is an unspecified relationship between these features and gtkmm3 that causes them to silently fail.
