I haven't had a chance to do the troubleshooting necessary to file a bug yet. But neither the open-vm-tools nor the VMware ones would do Unity mode when the guest was running 11.1 with a Gnome desktop, both of them would do Unity mode when the guest was running 11.1 with an XFCE desktop, but only the VMware-supplied version would do shared files with the host.
I would be quiet interested in this 'bug' report in this case. As I'm quiet involved in the packaging of the open-vm-tools, I have a personal interest of offering them 'bug-free'. So in short: Unity is the same with the open-vm-tools and the proprietary ones? Then there is probably no easy fix to them (maybe the latest open-vm-tools could help you... you find them in OBS Virtualization:VMware) And file sharing did not work? How did you try it? Accessing \\.host ? Mounting \\.host using vmhgfs? Drag'n'Drop of files? In which direction? From Host to Guest or vice versa? (All those questions I would also ask when you put it in Bugzilla.. so they are just in advance.. in case you can open a bug ticket of it :) ) Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
