I upgraded to the newest distro, 9.04 and had a few issues that I just got ironed out.

Slow mouse problem

After I finished the upgrade and installed 9.04, things were a bit wonky. The mouse was slow and choppy. Eventually I found this post on the VMware forums:

http://blogs.vmware.com/teamfusion/2009/04/ubuntu-904-on-vmware-fusion-2.html#comments

Check out the third from last comment by 11. Here’s the gist:

In the terminal, type:

sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse

and then

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse

That’s it!

Shared folder doesn’t show up

Before the upgrade, I had a folder in /mnt/hgfs/Public that is shared with my Public folder in OSX. After the upgrade, it was gone. So I found this guy’s post:

http://communities.vmware.com/thread/208507

I read the instructions carefully, installed his patch script and viola! I’m back in business.

Thank you so very much helpful people for posting your knowledge online for the rest of us. You make free software usable.
