VMware Workstation 16.2.4，Guest是Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)。现
需要安装VMwareTools，一是为显卡驱动，二是为hgfs。

VMwareTools变化比较大，不要再用VMware自带的iso安装了。我就犯了经验主义错误，
为了支持hgfs，总是源码编译vmhgfs.ko，一度以为open-vm-tools不包含hgfs的支持，
事实上是支持的。

这次一开始仍然习惯性地用iso安装VMwareTools，遭遇"Segmentation fault"，排查
中才发现过去混用iso与open-vm-tools，是一种很low的搞法。只用open-vm-tools即
可，vmtoolsd属于open-vm-tools，vmtoolsd运行后桌面分辨率开始自适应，同时支
持hgfs。

How to configure VMware Tools Shared Folders Linux mounts (60262) - [2018-11-27]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

在Host中为Guest指定Shared Folders

Settings->Options->Shared Folders

安装两个包，重启使之生效

aptitude install open-vm-tools open-vm-tools-desktop
reboot
lsmod | grep vmw
ps auwx | grep vm

$ vmware-toolbox-cmd -v
11.3.5.31214 (build-18557794)

$ vmhgfs-fuse --version
vmhgfs-fuse: version 1.6.12.0
FUSE library version 3.10.5
using FUSE kernel interface version 7.31
fusermount3 version: 3.10.5

$ vmhgfs-fuse --enabled
vmhgfs-fuse: 0 - HGFS FUSE client enabled

$ vmware-hgfsclient *
share

share是GUI中指定的"Shared Folders"名字，若上述命令能看到share，表示hgfs底
层支持已经就位。

如下命令均可手动mount hgfs

mkdir /mnt/hgfs

vmhgfs-fuse .host:/ /mnt/hgfs -o subtype=vmhgfs-fuse,allow_other
vmhgfs-fuse .host:/ /mnt/hgfs -o allow_other -o uid=1000
vmhgfs-fuse -o subtype=vmhgfs-fuse,allow_other /mnt/hgfs
mount -t fuse.vmhgfs-fuse .host:/ /mnt/hgfs -o allow_other

umount /mnt/hgfs

可在/etc/fstab中增加一行，以便自动mount，比如

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
.host:/ /mnt/hgfs/  fuse.vmhgfs-fuse    defaults,allow_other,uid=1000   0   0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
.host:/ /mnt/hgfs/  fuse.vmhgfs-fuse    allow_other,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=0002,auto_unmount,defaults 0   0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

若不幸用VMware自带的iso安装，可能遭遇"Segmentation fault"，此时可回滚

/root/src/vmware/vmware-tools-distrib/bin/vmware-uninstall-tools.pl
apt-get purge --auto-remove open-vm-tools
rm -rf /etc/vmware-tools/
rm -rf /usr/lib/vmware-tools/

再重新安装open-vm-tools*

aptitude install open-vm-tools open-vm-tools-desktop

查看这两个包都安装了些啥

dpkg -L open-vm-tools
dpkg -L open-vm-tools-desktop

启用时间同步

vmware-toolbox-cmd timesync enable

若启动、关闭Guest过程中Host弹框提示

The VMware Tools power-on script did not run successfully in this virtual
machine. If you have configured a custom power-on script in this virtual
machine, make sure that it contains no errors. You can also submit a
support request to report this issue.

直接原因是/etc/vmware-tools/目录下的内容有问题，root cause很可能是卸载、重
装open-vm-tools过程中出幺蛾子了。一般按下列顺序操作即可解决

apt-get purge --auto-remove open-vm-tools
reboot
aptitude install open-vm-tools open-vm-tools-desktop
shutdown -P now

若对这种脚本感兴趣，可以查看到底是哪个脚本

$ vmware-toolbox-cmd help script
script: control the scripts run in response to power operations
Usage: vmware-toolbox-cmd script <power|resume|suspend|shutdown> <subcommand> [args]

Subcommands:
   enable: enable the given script and restore its path to the default
   disable: disable the given script
   set <full_path>: set the given script to the given path
   default: print the default path of the given script
   current: print the current path of the given script
   NOTE: If the path is not present in tools.conf, its
   value from the global configuration is returned if present

$ vmware-toolbox-cmd script power current
/etc/vmware-tools/poweron-vm-default

$ vmware-toolbox-cmd script shutdown current
/etc/vmware-tools/poweroff-vm-default

在"VMware->VM->Power"菜单处，一般有

Power On
Power Off
Suspend
Reset

若装了VMwareTools，此处会多出另外几项

Start Up Guest
Shut Down Guest
Suspend Guest
Restart Guest

"Shut Down Guest"比"Power Off"要多做一些动作，会执行相应脚本，比如

/etc/vmware-tools/poweroff-vm-default

若用了"Suspend Guest"，恢复时应该用配对的"Resume Guest"，而非缺省的Resume，
前者涉及相应脚本，后者与脚本无关。条件允许时，尽量用"Suspend Guest"。
