Probably. I get these same issues too, but everything works fine anyway. I assume they're to handle old tools versions; where VMWare has implemented those patches already, the patches will fail.
That's true. Not every patch will apply cleanly.
I think it would be good to state in README.md that patch failure isn't necessarily a signal of problems. Normally, people assume that patch failure is a bad thing.
Even better would be to change the output to simply say something like
Skipping: patch is not appropriate for this kernel
I agree.
I got a Skipping vmhgfs/15-vmhgfs-bdi-kernel-4.0-tools-9.9.2.patch: patch not appropriate for this kernel
cat /proc/version Linux version 3.13.0-61-generic (buildd@lgw01-50) (gcc version 4.8.2 (Ubuntu 4.8.2-19ubuntu1) ) #100-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 29 11:21:34 UTC 2015
and therefore cannot load items from a shared folder. Updating the repo did not help. I guess I will have to wait for the repo to be updated? Perhaps that could be added to the message as well. Funnily enough when I ran regular VMWare Tools again all ran well and sharing got working again and I was able to access the attached folder loading my DropBox data..
I'm running Ubuntu 15.04 on Linux 3.19.0-18-generic in VMware Player 7.1.0. Upon applying
./patch.sh
, I did not get cleanly applied patches. Here is the output written to the terminal:Am I doing it right? Also, supposedly the problem with HGFS was fixed here, but I do not think those changes were incorporated into this project.
