My branch is in working order, you can build and use it with appcatalyst: https://github.com/frapposelli/machine/tree/appcatalyst-driv...

I'm part of the dev team that is responsible for appcatalyst, feel free to reach out: fabio at vmware dot com

This is a known bug, we're addressing it with a new version of open-vm-tools, there's a thread going on over at github[1] to track this.

YAI (yet another italian), born and raised here, I've been through most of the 'typical' italian IT jobs in my career: IT support, Developer, Consultant, both as employee and self employed, I just want to echo everybody's comment to STAY AWAY from Italy for anything that is related to IT, the country simply don't care and your business venture will likely fail (fiscal pressure, corruption, toxic laws... you name it).

My advice is to rake up as many talented folks as possible (we have no shortage of them) and bring them somewhere else with a decent pay (something that is just impossible to get here).
