I usually use VMware Fusion to simulate infrastructure environment for example Kubernetes and various monitoring systems. I’m also an early adopter for Apple software like macOS and iOs, so I installed macOS Mojave since public Beta.

After macOS Mojave Beta 5, my guest OS running on VMware Fusion stop working. I cannot type any command through Linux command line interface and I cannot use any mouse and keyboard on Windows guest as well.

To fix this problem very easy, on macOS, just check System PreferencesSecurity & PrivacyAccessibility and select Privacy tab

Security & Privacy

Click on Lock symbol (1) and enter password, after that scroll down and Check the VMware Fusion item (2).

After that all guest OSes back to work properly, you can use keyboard enter Linux command and also mouse on Windows guest back to work as well.
