Category: kernel modules Group: None Status: Pending Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Sean (svz90) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: DnD From Host to Guest Fails Initial Comment: When trying to drag and drop a file from the Host operating system to the guest, I get the following error message: Error stating file '/proc/fs/vmblock/mountPoint/cdd623db/filename' No such file or directory where filename is the file from the host system. I am running open-vm-tools version 2011.07.19, with Arch Linux (kernel version 2.6.39), and Xfce 4.8. Using VMWare Player 3.1.4 build-385536. I checked the startup scripts, and vmblock is mounted and running. The /proc/fs/vmblock/mountpoint directory is symlinked to /tmp/VMWareDnD/cdd623db. Drag and drop from guest to host works fine. Clipboard synchronization works in both directions (though only with text - not with files). Thank you for any help in this matter.

(You could do a "ps ax | grep vmtoolsd" and post the results so we could look at it.) The correct way is to run vmware-user-suid-wrapper; running "vmtoolsd -n vmusr" directly will not work and will cause the issue you're running into. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=989708&aid=3378690&group_id=204462 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ open-vm-tools-devel mailing list open-vm-tools-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/open-vm-tools-devel
