open-vm-dkms is unable to build drivers on Precise currently for both
the stock 3.2 kernel and the newer HWE
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack) kernels.
For those needing an HWE kernel in your Precise installation, the Saucy
or newer HWE kernels are supported by a new open-vm-tool
Just as a note, the new kernels are not only needed on LTS for hardware
enablement (and I'm guessing relatively few people need hardware
enablement in a VMware guest), but also to run Docker, which I suspect
affects more people (me included).

In saucy, it appears that vmxnet and vmblock are not needed (nor is

Would it not be safer to only backport the relevant code to allow the
modules to build against the 3.5 kernel, given that this has to be an

You mean I have to revert the (/debian) DKMS files from Raring->Precise.

I believe a DKMS package can be set up for different module sources
depending on the kernel version it is being built against (using
patches). Does this help you?

I can confirm this is happening on my setup as well, but I pretty much
have the same setup as the op. 12.02, 64bit and all that so I think my
bug report would be pretty much a repeat of what was already posted.
Is this problem fixed, or not a problem in the first place on 12.10 or
13.04 releases?
