I installed the Ubuntu package. I got it to work after manually adding the line: .host:/ /mnt/hgfs vmhgfs defaults,ttl=5 0 0 to /etc/fstab. But I also had to manually do `mount -a`, since I keep getting an error on boot up about not being able to mount /mnt/hgfs. Anyone know how to avoid this on boot up?
