Hi Jason, thanks for taking the time to file this bug. This is a known issue with the 3.0.0 kernel:
/var/lib/dkms/open-vm-tools/2011.03.28/build/vsock/linux/af_vsock.c:105:28: fatal error: linux/smp_lock.h: No such file or directory There is a patch available here: http://weltall.heliohost.org/wordpress/2011/04/03/running-vmware- workstation-player-on-linux-2-6-39/ Note that 2.6.39 was renamed to 3.0.0 I don't know that this will be fixable in -updates, though it may be doable with a back port of the latest version from Oneiric. You may want to try downloading the source package from oneiric and building it on your system, or you can probably download the driver from VMware too. Marking as Fix Released, as the version in Oneiric builds against kernel 3.0.0. Opening task against natty, marked as Won't Fix, since 3.0.0 isn't officially supported on Natty. ** Changed in: open-vm-tools (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released ** Also affects: open-vm-tools (Ubuntu Natty) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: open-vm-tools (Ubuntu Natty) Status: New => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/817283 Title: package open-vm-dkms 2011.03.28-387002-0ubuntu1.1 failed to install/upgrade: open-vm-tools kernel module failed to build To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/817283/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
