Ok, a few observations now that I'm able to test on vmware:
I've created a new package based on the 3.28 release (from two days
ago). What I did:
1. run vmware-uninstall-tools
(@Tom Weiss - you need to do this first, that's why you got the errors
about vmhgfs and vmsync not being found. I get that even when I install the
current open-vm-tools package)
2. dpkg -i open-vm-source_* open-vm-toolbox* open-vm-tools_*
3. dpkg -i open-vm-dkms*
4. reboot
At this point, clipboard did not work for me. I had to manually
5. vmware-user-suid-wrapper
after which clipboard worked. This however did complain because vmblock
was not loaded. I see bug 332323, so figure I'll fix this in vmware-
user-suid-wrapper, but for now I just did:
5a. modprobe vmblock
5b vmware-user-suid-wrapper
vmware-user-suid-wrapper is not actually installed setuid-root, I'll fix
that. WHen I fix that on the guest, then drag and drop start working!
I suppose the packaging should somehow run vmware-user-suid-wrapper on
login. How to do that may be question for desktop folks.
The vmhgfs does not work for me. I don't know if that's depracated.
