OK, I just found the "vmware-config.pl" script, and am running that. It just said it couldn't find a suitable kernel module for my running kernel, so I've asked it to create one. Crossing my fingers! I'll report back when something happens.
Hi all, I used to use Keepass to send my password to VMWare 10 and everything worked fine, however I recently updated my linux environment (I was Linux Mint 17 with Cinnamon, and upgraded to Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 ) and I had to update also VMWare 12 (for kernel incompatibility) and now my password passes to the vmware guest without any Shift characters (if my password is MypA$$wOrd it would be sent as mypa44word).

I despise Necromancy, but I have yet to see anyone post a solution for this and the vmware community items are just as dead. This thread seems to be the one all my mates keep referencing in one way or another so if any of the original posters still need it the tool works.
I wrote a wrapper that acts as a buffer between KeePass and VMWare. The root cause on linux has to do with the way VMWare handles keymapping from xdotool which performs the autotyping.
When xdotool executes the type, vmware's shenanigans for keymapping and hotkeys basically fail to interpret an implied shift coming with capital letters and special characters.
There is a workaround, use 'xdotoolk key' with explicit shift characters.
As a proof of concept I wrote the wrapper and it's working well for me:
I set it in my autotype to execute via the following: {DELAY 3000}{CMD:!/absolute/path/to/vmwareXDoTool.sh {PASSWORD}!W=1,WS=H}
Known issues: Besides only being for a US keyboard currently, this does not handle passwords with ' and " characters currently; I didn't have an obvious way to escape those characters in the command call without altering the value of the password field in the entry which was undesireable.
Long term I may write a plugin or something to perform the autotype as an individual key call rather than a whole type operation as a selectable flag.
hi, first post here. title says pretty much everything, i installed vmware player using the .bundle provided on the vmware website, and it installed just fine.
i'm running it from the command line, 'cos if i use an app launcher, it just hangs at the final setup screen when clicking on the "Finish" button.
with the command line, i managed to figure out why: when clicking on that button, pkexec is launched and prompts for my password. however, when entering my password, it just doesn't work, giving:
Hi i wanted to install vmware to use my old windows 98 in its full glory because virtualbox cant give anything other than square resolutions.
I used this in configuration.nix
Virtulisation.vmware.host.enable = true;
It installed and everything seemed to work 1080 resolution and everything else like drag and drop etc but i noticed there is no sound i thought its vm issue but it didnt have any sound even in xp vm so ithink i need some extra packages to make it work that i have missed to install.
And also i have not found any instructions anywhere to install it so a detailed one will be appreciated if i have missed any.
As Chopper says, the difference between ESX and VMWare player is stunning (as is, to be fair, the difference between HyperV server and Virtual PC). It's a fundamental change the in way virtualisation is delivered which greatly benefits the guest OSes.
You can install VMware workstation or player on Kali Linux, allowing you to use Virtual Machines (VMs) inside of Kali Linux. However if you wish to use Kali Linux as a virtual machine, you will want our Kali Linux Guest VMware guide. 17dc91bb1f
