I used VMware’s instructions<\/a> to install VMware Tools (VMwareTools-7.9.3-147997.tar.gz from VMware Fusion v2.0.2 (147997)) in Fedora 10 using the\u00a0“Installing VMware Tools from the Command Line with the Tar Installer” section. \u00a0For the most part I feel that I was successful. \u00a0I can copy\/paste and the system time updates coming out of standby which it never did before under Fedora 8.<\/p>\n

I am having to reconnect the NIC manually coming out of standby. \u00a0SELinux mechanism is firing and seemingly the cause of the problem. \u00a0I don’t have a solution.<\/p>\n

One example is: SELinux prevented mount from mounting on the file or directory “\/usr\/lib\/vmware-tools\/sbin32\/vmware-hgfsmounter” (type “lib_t”) when I went into suspend and came out. \u00a0I issued the fix command explained in “settroubleshoot browser”. \u00a0It did take a few moments to complete.<\/p>\n

Another example is: SELinux is preventing ifconfig (ifconfig_t) “read” to \/var\/run\/vmware-active-nics (initrc_var_run_t). This file does not exist. \u00a0I suspect this file exists when it comes out of standby but then gets deleted after the NICs are re-activated.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Before installing VMware Tools, I was able to boot with no problem. \u00a0Now when I boot the POST screen has two issues:<\/p>\n
