This was meant to be driven by the latest kernel version But it was only partially implemented.

While the main verification is on VMWare as usual this bug - since it is referenced in the changelog - is tracked as well. And while right now there are no intentions to pick up the modalias with the other tools (e.g. installer) lets make sure this worked for the open-vm-tools portion on the backport.

For the context here the important part is if the modalias is there, and that is true for both releases. $ apt show open-vm-tools-desktop 2>/dev/null | grep Modalias Modaliases: vmwgfx(pci:v15ADd0405sv*sd*bc*sc*i*) ** Tags removed: verification-needed verification-needed-bionic verification-needed-cosmic ** Tags added: verification-done verification-done-bionic verification-done-cosmic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1819207 Title: [FFe] Add Modaliases to open-vm-tools-desktop to allow automatic installation by ubuntu-drivers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1819207/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1819207] Re: [FFe] Add Modaliases to open-vm-tools-desktop to allow automatic installation by ubuntu-drivers
** Description changed: [Rationale] On Ubuntu Desktop, we want to install automatically at installation time open-vm-tools-desktop and its dependencies to provide an improved user experience on first boot after installation of the guest. This method also provides an easy way to install the drivers after installation if they have not been installed at installation time. It is achieved adding an XB-Modaliases field to the control file for the record 'open-vm-tools-desktop' so ubuntu-drivers can detect the packages to install when running in a VMware guest and adding open-vm-tools to the list of whitelisted packages in ubuntu-drivers [Impact] The change adds an additional field to the control file used by ubuntu-drivers to detect the drivers to install automatically. In the worst case scenario either the field is not added or the detection by ubuntu-drivers fails. In both cases the package o-v-t-desktop is not installed and can still be installed manually. - Note: open-vm-tools-desktop is in universe and must be in main. + Note: open-vm-tools-desktop is in universe and for the final feature + (>=Disco) it must be in main (already promoted). But for the SRU context + (as this was accepted by Debian in 10.3.5-8) in our regular MRE we only + cover the open-vm-tools change to "provide" the modalias. We do not + change the ubuntu-drivers or ubiquity to depend on it - so no need to + promote it on the SRU. [Test Case] With the patched versions of ubuntu-drivers and open-vm-tools 1. Boot a daily ISO of Ubuntu Desktop to the live session in a VMware Guest (with VMWare Workstation for example) 2. Open a terminal, make sure the package cache is up to date with the version of o-v-t containing the Modaliases field 3. Run the command: $ ubuntu-drivers list and verify that o-v-t-desktop is in the output 4. Run the command: $ ubuntu-drivers devices And verify that the output shows the details of the sys entry for this device 5. Run the command: $ sudo ubuntu-drivers install and verify that the package o-v-t-desktop is installed [Regression Potential] Very Low. Package may fail to build if for some reason dh-gencontrol fails. Otherwise, given that the package is not already installed automatically, if automated installation doesn't work then we're still in the same situation than today. On ubuntu-drivers side, the change just adds o-v-t-desktop to the whitelist using an existing mechanism so other than a typo there is no risk of regression.

[Bug 1819207] Re: [FFe] Add Modaliases to open-vm-tools-desktop to allow automatic installation by ubuntu-drivers
This bug was fixed in the package open-vm-tools - 2:10.3.5-8 --- open-vm-tools (2:10.3.5-8) unstable; urgency=medium [ Jean-Baptiste Lallement ] * [0f35aee] Add modaliases to open-vm-tools-desktop. Added Modaliases to open-vm-tools-desktop to auto-discover and auto-install the driver on Ubuntu via ubuntu-drivers. The driver is then installed at installation time and available on first boot for an improved user experience (LP: #1819207) [ Bernd Zeimetz ] * [dc4e1ce] Load vmwgfx module before vmtoolsd starts. As discussed on github in vmware/open-vm-tools#214 we need to load the vmwgfx module before starting vmtoolsd for desktop users. Otherwise it is not able to retrieve the KMS resolutions and resizing the VM desktop fails.

[08:14] jibel: we got the FFe on 1819207 and the change into Debian [08:14] jibel: the only other change in Debian we want as well (an evolved version of a fix I already had tested and followed the upstream resolution) [08:15] jibel: that means we now want to do a syncpackage - should I or do you want to? [08:17] hi cpaelzer , can you do it please? I kicked the syncpackage and we can later on the day check if it all built and migrated as expected. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1819207 Title: [FFe] Add Modaliases to open-vm-tools-desktop to allow automatic installation by ubuntu-drivers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1819207/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
