Thanks in advance for putting up with the observations of a clueless outsider ;-)
* The transitional-package approach, which I think is what you used for open-vm-toolbox in ppa15, worked nicely. * The conflicting-package approach, which I think is what you are using for open-vm-toolbox in ppa19, achieves the same result, although with benign errors that can be ignored. This is probably just due to the way I had to install (using dpkg rather than apt or Synaptic). * The most important thing, that DKMS actually works, has been true since the earliest ppa's and continues. GOD BLESS YOU!! * Anything I said about initialization scripts or mounting is completely inappropriate and beyond the scope of this bug report and its resolution. I just didn't know who else would be listening to me ;-) * I couldn't agree more that it is confusing to read documentation about vmmemctl and vmware-user that even *I* suspect are just no longer true. But I think the point about DnD is still valid because I've played with it. In other words, the observations are uninformed by knowledge, but empirical. I still suspect something is rotten in Denmark because a force-reload of my modified open-vm-tools script frequently fails (mount: mount point /proc/fs/vmblock/mountPoint does not exist). Loading vmblock is *supposed* to create /proc/fs/vmblock (it does) and two nodes therein (dev and mountPoint). The former it always does; the latter, not always. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to open-vm-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/776103 Title: package open-vm-dkms 2011.03.28-387002-0ubuntu2 fails to build against 2.6.39 kernels, due to missing linux/smp_lock.h To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/776103/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
