Don't use the ones in Debian unstable because they're using a kernel that requires a module (vmmemctl) in the Tools. The newer kernels (like the ones in Natty/Oneiric) have said module in the kernel.
Also as of right now, the Stable Tools (and the unstable ones currently in the repo) don't support the 2.6.39. Although, I guess Oneiric is going with the 3.0 Kernel (I just check the packages Launchpad page). So what I'm suggesting might be irrelevant. As I said I've tried compiling the May 2011 release modules of open-vm- tools, and even with the issues with the open-vm-toolbox, I got all the modules SUCCESSFULLY compiled. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/776103 Title: package open-vm-dkms 2011.03.28-387002-0ubuntu2 fails to build against 2.6.39 kernels, due to missing linux/smp_lock.h To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/776103/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
