Issue: There was an issue with gedit whenever I opened it: “** (gedit:9280): WARNING **: Could not load Gedit repository: Typelib file for namespace 'GtkSource', version '3.0' not found”

Solution: http://askubuntu.com/questions/369915/warnings-while-launching-gedit-from-the-ubuntu-terminal

Updating gir1.2-gtksource-3.0 solved the problem for me; the errors no longer appear.

sudo apt-get install gir1.2-gtksource-3.0

Issue: gedit Gtk-WARNING GtkScrolledWindow is mapped but visible child GtkScrollbar is not mapped”

Solution: http://askubuntu.com/questions/435528/gedit-warning-gtkscrolledwindow-is-mapped-but-visible-child-gtkscrollbar-is-not

It was a bug in overlay-scrollbar which has been fixed here at launchpad. It has been fixed.

So just run

How do I mount shared folders (win7 host) in Ubuntu (guest) using VMware(tools v6) - Ask Ubuntu

How do I mount shared folders (win7 host) in Ubuntu (guest) using VMware(tools v6) - Ask Ubuntu

I have set up on Windows 7 host with Ubuntu 11.04 Desktop with VMware Tools installed on.

Virtual Machine settings

• Folder sharing = Always Enabled
• Make sure you have at least one Folder shared between the host and guest

On the Ubuntu Guest

• check /mnt/hgfs that you can access your shared folder.
  If you don't see your shared folders (automounted) inside /mnt/hgfs , run VMware configuration tools:
  sudo vmware-config-tools.pl
• update your fstab using the details below:
  gksu gedit /etc/fstab
  (I am using ubuntu desktop so use other text editor to enter the next line at the end of the file)
  .host:/{shared-folder} /{path-to-mount-on} vmhgfs defaults,ttl=5,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0
• Restart your vm (You may need to restart few times or get error message saying unable to mount just skip the error and restart)
