Hello Jean-Baptiste, or anyone else affected, Accepted open-vm-tools into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm- tools/2:10.3.10-1~ubuntu0.18.04.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-drivers-common in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1819207 Title: [FFe] Add Modaliases to open-vm-tools-desktop to allow automatic installation by ubuntu-drivers Status in open-vm-tools package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in open-vm-tools source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in ubiquity source package in Bionic: Won't Fix Status in ubuntu-drivers-common source package in Bionic: Won't Fix Status in open-vm-tools source package in Cosmic: Fix Committed Status in ubiquity source package in Cosmic: Won't Fix Status in ubuntu-drivers-common source package in Cosmic: Won't Fix Status in open-vm-tools source package in Disco: Fix Released Status in ubiquity source package in Disco: Fix Released Status in ubuntu-drivers-common source package in Disco: Fix Released Bug description: [Rationale] On Ubuntu Desktop, we want to install automatically at installation time open-vm-tools-desktop and its dependencies to provide an improved user experience on first boot after installation of the guest. This method also provides an easy way to install the drivers after installation if they have not been installed at installation time. It is achieved adding an XB-Modaliases field to the control file for the record 'open-vm-tools-desktop' so ubuntu-drivers can detect the packages to install when running in a VMware guest and adding open-vm- tools to the list of whitelisted packages in ubuntu-drivers [Impact] The change adds an additional field to the control file used by ubuntu-drivers to detect the drivers to install automatically. In the worst case scenario either the field is not added or the detection by ubuntu-drivers fails. In both cases the package o-v-t-desktop is not installed and can still be installed manually. Note: open-vm-tools-desktop is in universe and for the final feature (>=Disco) it must be in main (already promoted). But for the SRU context (as this was accepted by Debian in 10.3.5-8) in our regular MRE we only cover the open-vm-tools change to "provide" the modalias. We do not change the ubuntu-drivers or ubiquity to depend on it - so no need to promote it on the SRU. [Test Case] With the patched versions of ubuntu-drivers and open-vm-tools 1. Boot a daily ISO of Ubuntu Desktop to the live session in a VMware Guest (with VMWare Workstation for example) 2. Open a terminal, make sure the package cache is up to date with the version of o-v-t containing the Modaliases field 3. Run the command: $ ubuntu-drivers list and verify that o-v-t-desktop is in the output 4. Run the command: $ ubuntu-drivers devices And verify that the output shows the details of the sys entry for this device 5. Run the command: $ sudo ubuntu-drivers install and verify that the package o-v-t-desktop is installed [Regression Potential] Very Low. Package may fail to build if for some reason dh-gencontrol fails. Otherwise, given that the package is not already installed automatically, if automated installation doesn't work then we're still in the same situation than today. On ubuntu-drivers side, the change just adds o-v-t-desktop to the whitelist using an existing mechanism so other than a typo there is no risk of regression.
