Hi Parham,<br>
<br>
In the last day I&#39;ve gone through and retried the setup on a fresh test<br>
installation using VMWare Desktop (which I think uses exactly the same<br>
drivers as the player) and indeed I was unable to get it working.<br>
<br>
So I&#39;m sorry my original answers were totally useless and I think you<br>
are right that support has been discontinued.  I came to this page:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://github.com/rasa/vmware-tools-patches" target="_blank">https://github.com/rasa/vmware-tools-patches</a><br>
<br>
Which suggested that by installing the 3.16.x kernel package<br>
&quot;linux-image-virtual-lts-utopic&quot; and applying the patches from that page<br>
I should be able to get the necessary kernel module compiled, but I&#39;ve<br>
had no luck.<br>
<br>
Did the articles you read suggest an alternative?  I&#39;d imagine that<br>
sharing the folders in Windows then connecting to them using either<br>
gvfs-mount or mount.cifs would work, but as all the traffic will need to<br>
go through the networking layer it won&#39;t be as fast as using shared<br>
folders.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>

&gt; No worries thanks any way.<br>
&gt; I tried the commands and here is the output again:<br>

&gt; I assumed <a href="http://vmware-config-tools.pl" target="_blank">vmware-config-tools.pl</a> should be ran with default values. It<br>
&gt; seems it&#39;s not working with VMware. I don&#39;t have any problem with<br>
&gt; VirtualBox. I just prefer VM because it runs biolinux faster than<br>
&gt; VirtualBox. At least a year ago that was my experience so then I<br>
&gt; switched to VM. I must add that several places I read that VM has<br>
&gt; removed this shared folder option from newer version. Could that be<br>

&gt;         Hi,<br>
&gt;         Thanks for looking into it. I tried the steps, it seems there<br>
&gt;         is no vboxsf<br>

&gt;         &gt; Hi Parham,<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt; Sorry to hear about this.  Let&#39;s check things through one<br>
&gt;         step at a<br>
&gt;         &gt; time, though I&#39;m sure you&#39;ve done most of this already:<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt; 1) In the VM, check that all updates applied successfully.<br>
&gt;         You can do<br>
&gt;         &gt; this in the terminal like so:<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt; sudo apt-get update<br>
&gt;         &gt; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt; You should see 0 to install and 0 errors.<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt; 2) Type &#39;groups&#39; and see if the list includes the word<br>
&gt;         &#39;vboxsf&#39;.  If<br>
&gt;         &gt; not, run:<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt; sudo usermod -aG vboxsf $USER<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt; 3) Shut down the VM<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt; 4) In the shared folder settings in the VM, remove the<br>
&gt;         shared folder<br>
&gt;         &gt; definition and recreate it from scratch with the options<br>
&gt;         &#39;auto-mount&#39;<br>
&gt;         &gt; and &#39;make permanent&#39; selected.<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt; 5) Boot up the VM<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt; 6) In the VM, open up a terminal and give the command:<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt; sudo VBoxControl --nologo sharedfolder list<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt; What do you see?<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt; 7) Also, give the command:<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt; ls -l /media<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt; Again, what do you see?<br>

&gt;         I do apologise - I didn&#39;t read your e-mail properly and sent<br>

&gt;         &gt; Thanks for looking into it. I tried the steps, it seems<br>
&gt;         there is no<br>
&gt;         &gt; vboxsf available. This is the output:<br>
&gt;         &gt; sudo usermod -aG vboxsf $USER<br>
&gt;         &gt; usermod: group &#39;vboxsf&#39; does not exist<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt; I must add that I installed VMware&#39;s tools with default<br>

&gt;         &gt;         Hi Parham,<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt;         Sorry to hear about this.  Let&#39;s check things<br>
&gt;         through one step<br>
&gt;         &gt;         at a<br>
&gt;         &gt;         time, though I&#39;m sure you&#39;ve done most of this<br>
&gt;         already:<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt;         1) In the VM, check that all updates applied<br>
&gt;         successfully.<br>
&gt;         &gt;         You can do<br>
&gt;         &gt;         this in the terminal like so:<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt;         sudo apt-get update<br>
&gt;         &gt;         sudo apt-get dist-upgrade<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt;         You should see 0 to install and 0 errors.<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt;         2) Type &#39;groups&#39; and see if the list includes the<br>
&gt;         word<br>
&gt;         &gt;         &#39;vboxsf&#39;.  If<br>
&gt;         &gt;         not, run:<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt;         sudo usermod -aG vboxsf $USER<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt;         3) Shut down the VM<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt;         4) In the shared folder settings in the VM, remove<br>
&gt;         the shared<br>
&gt;         &gt;         folder<br>
&gt;         &gt;         definition and recreate it from scratch with the<br>
&gt;         options<br>
&gt;         &gt;         &#39;auto-mount&#39;<br>
&gt;         &gt;         and &#39;make permanent&#39; selected.<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt;         5) Boot up the VM<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt;         6) In the VM, open up a terminal and give the<br>
&gt;         command:<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt;         sudo VBoxControl --nologo sharedfolder list<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt;         What do you see?<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt;         7) Also, give the command:<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt;         ls -l /media<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt;         Again, what do you see?<br>
&gt;         &gt;<br>
&gt;         &gt;         Cheers,<br>

&gt;         &gt;         &gt; Hello all,<br>

&gt;         &gt;         &gt; Yesterday after a biolinux (or may be Ubuntu)<br>
