  • As I recall, the VMWare 10 tools do not fully compile in Ubuntu 14.04 - you might be able to find a solution in the VMWare community forums – Charles Green Jan 08 '15 at 02:09

This is because the VMware Tools are not modified yet for the 14.10+ kernel. As such, the Shared Folders functionality fails to build.

Ultimately, we have to see if there are alternative options. And there is. First, remove the VMware Tools from the guest. Then, install open-vm-tools which is an open source spin of the VMware Tools onto the guest. That program exists in the repos so you can install it with apt-get

This should then help a little with the shared folders.
