OK, could you upload your VMX log (vmware.log) as well as the vmware-user and vmware-guestd logs? You can obtain the latter by editing the tools.conf file (it's probably in /etc/vmware-tools) and adding the following two lines: log = "true" log.file = "/path/to/file" After that, the processes should start logging themselves to /path/to/file and /path/to/file.<pid> (vmware-user typically can't write to the same log as vmware-guestd). I'd especially like to see the logging done at startup for both processes, so after you've enabled logging, restart them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ open-vm-tools-discuss mailing list open-vm-tools-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/open-vm-tools-discuss
