Open-vm-tools Service start/stop Scripts not Working

Transition from FreeBSD to TrueOS, why should I use GhostBSD?
This isn't an directed towards TrueOS itself (I haven't used it enough to be able to have any opinion it) or negative criticism towards the decision to switch from FreeBSD as a base. More so it's some thoughts and observations. I'm happy to see that the overall look and feel of GhostBSD remains unch...

Re: Clipboard Sharing, Autosize, and Smooth Mouse in VMware
I've simplified the instructions for 10.3. Anyone that still needs the older ones can find them below: pkg install -y open-vm-tools xf86-video-vmware xf86-input-vmmouse Edit the xorg.conf file. Note: GhostBSD 10.1 does not include one by default and one will need to be generated and placed in /usr/l...

Re: Clipboard Sharing, Autosize, and Smooth Mouse in VMware
Looks like the problems with PCDM, package repositories, and networking are fixed in Alpha 2. I've updated the instructions to use packages instead of building from ports.

Re: Enable Clipboard Sharing and Autosize in VMware
Unfortunately the 10.1 alpha 1 has an issue where PCDM is not working. You will need to disable it via /etc/rc.conf and manually issue a 'startx' command. Also, the installer fails to write a network configuration to rc.conf that will prevent you from downloading anything. A quick dhclient em0 Will ...

Clipboard Sharing, Autosize, and Smooth Mouse in VMware
To enable clipboard sharing, auto-resize, and get a smoother mouse in a VMWare guest you will need to use the emulators/open-vm-tools package.

Upgrading to 10.1 not possible
I tried upgrading to 10.1-RELEASE using with no success. I was able to rollback to return to a functional system. I imagine that the kernel has some customizations?
