You shouldn't have had to create any files. They should already have been there. You only needed to add one line to .profile and one line to .xsession.

STILL doesn't work. Here are my .profile and .xsession, if it can help:

In  ~/.profile  , do this:
Code: [Select]
*snip*

[ $(which vmware-checkvm) ] && [ vmware-checkvm ] && [ -d /mnt/hgfs ] && vmhgfs-fuse /mnt/hgfs

TERMTYPE=`/usr/bin/tty`
[ ${TERMTYPE:5:3} == "tty" ] && (
[ ! -f /etc/sysconfig/Xserver ] ||
[ -f /etc/sysconfig/text ] ||
[ -e /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 ] ||
startx
)

Download a copy and keep it handy: Core book ;)

You can ignore that error. After all this, are vmtoolsd and vmware-user running, and is /mnt/hgfs mounted? Does the desktop resize when you drag (and hold until it does, an important quirk you will find) the corner of the window?

Sorry, I'm Russian so I can not specify the problem. On VirtualBox, here comes this error at boot.

What version of corepure64?

How did you install corepure64 in the vm, from the iso?
