Have you checked the following document? http://www.vmware.com/pdf/osp_install_guide.pdf It has a section on how to update the kernel modules. If your problem is with the modules not compiling, then you'd have to patch it yourself or wait for the next update (don't know how often they do that for OSPs...). > Have just tried the 'official' tar installed, and that works fine, > i.e. no problems making snapshots etc. > I have filed a bug report for the Ubuntu tools: > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/611644 I'm pretty sure the Ubuntu folks won't be able to help you there. This is most probably a problem in our code that we'll have to fix... since we're still in the development cycle for the next release, no idea when QA will get to that. :-) (Since I'm actually the person who plays in that part of the code, I might take a look at it myself when I find some time.) -- - Marcelo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Palm PDK Hot Apps Program offers developers who use the Plug-In Development Kit to bring their C/C++ apps to Palm for a share of $1 Million in cash or HP Products.
