Hi Stanislaw, Thanks for information from you.
One point however is not clear for me. All that on github seems to be VmWare's
own open-vm-tools repo.
The guys there claim (see Readme.md file, last update 7 months ago)
open-vm-tools would not include
Linux drivers as those were available as part
For anyone still waiting:
If you're ok with doing a little bit of editing on the patch files,
open-vm-tools 10.0.5 from github works fine on 15.10 - including hgfs and
copy/paste sharing. (although I just did it an hour ago, so may not spotted
other issues)
Just make sure you apply all relevant

Hi, please consider updating the open-vm-tools package to the latest
version. I could not use the Share Folder feature with VMware Fusion on
Ubuntu 15.10 now and it really bothers me.
Thanks!

vmware-checkvm and vmware-toolbox-cmd (from vmware-tools package) are
working, so I suspect no general VMWare problem.
i think the situation is more like Ubuntu has not yet update their open-
vm-tools-dkms package to pick the 9.10.3 or 10.0.5 release of open-vm-
tools from github.

@armin-kunaschik, can you help to try these steps and help to isolate if
it is vmware problem or packaging problem? thanks!

The new version from the PPA works fine on amd64 but doesn't on i386 with a
current 15.10 on VMPlayer 12.0.1.
There are no visible errors, vmware-hgfsclient does not show any shared
folders, mount gives i/o errors. vmware tools also don't work on i386, so there
might be a general problem.

** Changed in: open-vm-tools (Ubuntu)
Milestone: None => wily-updates
** Patch removed: "0001-vmhgfs-support-linux-4.2.x-kernel.patch"
I have removed the patch from comment #4. Running with the vmhgfs
driver from the 9.10.2 code can result in data corruption. The backport
of the driver from 10.0.0 to 9.10.3 resolves the data corruption issue
as well as addressing the kernel compilation failures for 4.1 and 4.2
kernels.
As
https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/tree/stable-9.10.3
the vmhgfs kernel module source has been updated and should now work
with Linux 4.2 kernel and we have run internal test against Ubuntu
15.10/4.2.0-16-generic kernel. please use the source from stable-9.10.3.
thanks.
