Hello all,
I don't know why... but all of a sudden my shared VM on my workstation is causing the Fusion UI to beachball.
The VM itself is running fine. I see the guest vmx process... I can remote desktop to the guest... all is good there. I can use vmrun to control the VM also.
It is only the UI that is getting 'stuck'. I start the Fuision UI and I can see the guest desktop... but I can't provide any input to the VM. The most I can do is to force quit the UI.
My account is that of a user. If I run the fusion UI as an admin... all is fine.
Seems to me like a permissions issue with the pipe which the vmx process and the UI talk. But I can't for the life of me find it.
I tried fixing permissions with apple's Disk Utility, but that didn't help at all.
Thoughts anyone??
Addendum: It seems that the probelm start once windows starts up... Wondering if it is the USB arbitration service...
Addendum 2: It works Ok when I uninstall vmware tools from the guest... Err...
Addendum 3: This would be helpful: VMware 5.0.2 on OS 10.8.2
