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 -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (300, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-grml (SMP w/1 CPU core; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages open-vm-tools depends on: ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdumbnet1 1.8-1.5 A dumb, portable networking librar ii libgcc1 1:4.3.2-1 GCC support library ii libicu38 3.8.1-3 International Components for Unico ii libstdc++6 4.3.2-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii procps 1:3.2.7-8 /proc file system utilities Versions of packages open-vm-tools recommends: pn ethtool <none> (no description available) pn open-vm-source <none> (no description available) pn zerofree <none> (no description available) Versions of packages open-vm-tools suggests: pn open-vm-toolbox <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
