I have the same issue as #54 with Vmware 7.1 and Ubuntu 15.10.

Manually running

fixed it.

I can confirm the above method worked for me as well.

works for me, if you have installed vm-tools via apt-get you have to remove etc/vmware-tools

vmware-tools being problematic in 15.10 is a known issue, even in the latest versions: http://pubs.vmware.com/Release_Notes/en/workstation/12pro/workstation-1201-release-notes.html#knownissues

I agree. It didn't work for me for Workstation 11 on Windows as host and Ubuntu 15.10 as guest. However the VMWare tools developer has good news:

"There are also a few other fixes now going into the same release and it will enable the vmhgfs kernel driver to be built and work correctly with Linux 4.2 kernels which are used currently with Fedora 22 and Ubuntu 15.10."

Same issue with open-vm-tools latest version and Ubuntu 15.10 with VMware Workstation 11. I resolve this proplem like this:

  1. Update VMware Workstation to Version 11.1.4 build-3848939
  2. reomve open-vm-tools and open-vm-tools-dkms
  3. Install the VMware Tools 9.9.5 build-3735633 for Linux

and no path need.
