Hello, I'm using both xubuntu 14.04 beta, and xubuntu 13.10 in vmware workstation 10 on a windows 8.1 host. As of late I have been unable to get vmware-tools running.
1. this issue appears on both versions (13.10 and 14.04) at the end of the install or when invoking vmware-config-tools.pl :
2. this only on xubuntu 14.04 beta :
any help would be appreciated

The filesystem driver (vmhgfs module) is used only for the shared folder
