Re: How to install VMtools on Manjaro (ArchLinux)

Okay, here is what I did...

 

Downloaded the manjaro-cinnamon-0.8.6-x86_64.iso file and validated its sha1sum.

Installed using all the defaults.

 

The default kernel is 3.9.4.1 however the headers are not available for that kernel so without the kernel headers for the running kernel VMware Tools cannot be installed in this Distro.

 

The only matching kernel and headers that would show in the Package Manager was 3.10.0-1.

 

For whatever reasons packman would not install the matching 3.10.0-1 kernel and headers nor would it upudate/upgrade anything without fatal errors.

 

Bottom line is I just do not have time to mess around with distro that does not even provide kernel headers for the default installed kernel or only has matching kernel and headers for one kernel newer then the default kernel and cannot update/upgrade itself from a clean default install without an a sundry of fatal errors!

 

Anyway since you have the 3.10.0-1 kernel and headers installed the only suggestion I have is to see if there are any known patches for VMware Tools when using the 3.10.0-1 kernel and apply then as necessary.  With that in mind you have nothing to loose by trying the vmtoolspatch that while originally was for issues with Ubuntu 13.04 it's the only thing I can provide without spending additional time I do not have.  Have a look at: Re: File sharing on Player betw host and guest doesn't work on Ubuntu 13.04
