Failure to start run-vmblock\x2dfuse.mount
Hi there,
I cannot start the run-vmblock\x2dfuse.mount. The output:
~ % sudo systemctl start run-vmblock\\x2dfuse.mount
Job for run-vmblock\x2dfuse.mount failed.
See "systemctl status "run-vmblock\\x2dfuse.mount"" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
If I check what is wrong:
~ % sudo systemctl status run-vmblock\\x2dfuse.mount -l

I just thought, this is not the expected behavior (mount exit code 255), so I opened this issue.
This is not such a big problem for me, because copy/paste, multiple monitors and correct resolution detection work for me. I need to start the vmtoolsd -n vmusr-process manually with vmware-user-suid-wrapper, but then it works. This prints the message vmware-user: could not open /proc/fs/vmblock/dev, but I learned in the meantime, that this can be safely ignored.
My system:
- Debian 9.0 with XFCE 4.12
- Kernel 4.9.0
- open-vm-tools and open-vm-tools-desktop installed, version 10.1.5
Cheers!
I am not able to reproduce this in a Debian/sid VM running open-vm-tools 2:10.1.5-5055683-4 (current version in both sid and stretch). Which exact package version do you have installed (dpkg -l open-vm-tools-desktop)? Also, can you please attach your version of the file /lib/systemd/system/run-vmblock\x2dfuse.mount just in case it has been modified.
22.04.1 LTS Ubuntu here and I get this error along with Failed to start LSB: VMware Tools service
@urherenow You have posted to a 5 year old issue that we should have closed since there was no response from the original poster. A lot has changed since 2017.
Please open a new issue and provide the follow information so that we may try to reproduce the problem in house.
Hypervisor - ESX, Workstation or Fusion along with product version Architecture - i386, x86_64/amd64 or ARM Version of open-vm-tools packages installed on you Ubuntu 22.04 LTS ( collect output of "apt list --installed | grep open-vm-tools" )
Please elaborate on contents of "this error".
As the original issue was run was with the vmblock/fuse mount service, please collect the output of the command
systemctl status run-vmblock\x2dfuse.mount
Note: the two backslashes are necessary here.
Thanks

This problem may be related to the lib fuse of Ubuntu 22.04. You can try
sudo apt install libfuse2

This problem may be related to the
lib fuseof Ubuntu 22.04. You can trysudo apt install libfuse2
it works, thanks you!
Fixed me up too. Been home from deployment for just a couple of weeks, so I’ve been too busy to reply. Thanks @Novice-me!
Hi, I tried installing the libfuse2(installed version 2.9.9-5ubuntu3) package but keep getting the same error when launching the x2dfuse.mount via systemctl: using Lubuntu 22.04
@fsch2 can you please explain more about the workaround you used, I really need the copy/paste features but I couldn't enable them via the systemctl fuse service
I seem to already have libfuse2 installed yet the issue persists.
This happens on a Macbook Pro with Apple M1 with Kali Linux arm64 over VMWare Fusion Player 13.

Description: Filesystem in Userspace (3.x version)
Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) is a simple interface for userspace programs to
export a virtual filesystem to the Linux kernel. It also aims to provide a
secure method for non privileged users to create and mount their own filesystem
implementations.
