Make sure you have a /mnt/hgfs directory made and empty. Sudo apt install open-vm-tools open-vm-tools-desktop Make sure open-vm-tools (and open-vm-tools-desktop if you're using a desktop environment) are installed, and that you've rebooted after their installation. See the Setting up auto-mounting section for setting up auto-mounting instead. You can put configuration stanzas in /etc/fstab to facilitate this, and then mount /mnt/hgfs will work.
(Make sure /mnt/hgfs exists and is empty) Install open-vm-tools and run: sudo mount -t fuse.vmhgfs-fuse. This can be frustrating in various ways, but there's an easy fix. Unlike using VMWare Tools to enable Linux guest capabilities, the open-vm-tools package doesn't auto-mount shared VMWare folders.

I have tried removing the CD in Settings > Storage, I have tried manually selecting it, nothing works. I found many hits on line but nothing has fixed it. When I select "Devices > Insert Guest Additions CD Image" I get an errorĬode: Select all Expand view Collapse view Unable to insert the virtual optical disk /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso into the machine Mint21XFCE2.Ĭode: Select all Expand view Collapse view Could not mount the media/drive '/usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso' (VERR_PDM_MEDIA_LOCKED). I seem to remember that for shared folders to work I need to install Guest Additions, however I have not been able to do that. The setup looks correct but I cannot see the shared folder on the guest. My Host is Mint21 Cinnamon and guest is Mint21 FXCE.
