Bug#970752: Subject: open-vm-tools: ConditionVirtualization=vmware was not met

2020-09-23 Thread Bernd Zeimetz 

Hi,


The following condition caused the failure:

 ConditionVirtualization=vmware was not met

After commenting it out vmtoolsd started successfully. For what it's
worth, the same condition fails in VMware vmplayer.



please run systemd-detect-virt and show the output, then install
systemd from buster-backports and run it again and see if it
makes a difference.


Bernd
