Of course, I could always be smart and just SSH into the VM… duh. ; )

I’ve followed the instructions here for the sole purpose of getting copy-paste functionality from my OSX host to my Ubuntu 9.10-server guest to no avail. I thought perhaps there was a keybinding problem and added “\C-v: paste-from-clipboard” to my /etc/inputrc to no avail.

Has anyone else had trouble with this or am I missing something obvious?

Thanks for the guide! I gave it a go for Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 and it seems to largely work (in fact it doesn’t seem to disconnect pcnet32 anymore), but invoking “Shutdown Guest” from VMware (I’m running 1.0.8) doesn’t seem to be working. It just does a power off.

Anybody know what I might be missing? Will this work if I run VMware 2+?

sudo echo vmxnet >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules

should be

echo vmxnet | sudo tee /etc/initramfs-tools/modules

You should be in /usr/src when running “patch -p0 < vmhgfs-2008-11-18-jaunty-lenny.diff”
