Are you installing the Ubuntu packages or did you build open-vm-tools from source? The source package does not provide any startup scripts nor makes any modifications to the existing system configuration. So to use it you'd have to manually add the fstab entries, which should be the same as those the VMware Tools installer adds. If you're using the Ubuntu packages, you'll need to file a bug / feature request in their tracker. -- - Marcelo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
