Package: open-vm-tools
Version: 2008.10.10-123053-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Hi Daniel,
I found that the latest open-vm-tools does not work, at least with
vmware v6.5. Neither clipboard copy/paste, nor host-share mounting
work.
As posted in,
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.user/339037/
I had been able to use Open VMware Tools to copy/paste x-selections
between VMware host and client via clipboard without any specify
setup in other distros before. But not now.
Also, host-share mounting does not work either.
root:~# vmware-hgfsmounter .host:/ /mnt/hgfs/
Error: cannot mount filesystem: No such device
root:~# vmware-hgfsclient
share
root:~# vmware-hgfsmounter .host:/share /mnt/hgfs/
Error: cannot mount filesystem: No such device
My VMware:
$ vmware -v
VMware Workstation 6.5.0 build-118166
