I'll take care that the proposed cahnge for the Xenial SRU will drop this systemd entry. And respon the SRU upload.
But I wonder if this is an issue in Bionic as well. The change to use PrivateTmp for open-vm-tools.service was introduced in Debian in 2:10.1.5-5055683-5 at 25 Jul 2017. We didn't hear about this issue yet, so the question is a) was it missed and also affects Bionic 18.04? b) is it not an issue due to e.g. the newer systemd version? I beg your pardon that "Using VMOMI API" is too unclear for me yet, but I assume that should be a rather simple test for you if this affects 18.04 as well. ** Also affects: open-vm-tools (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Also affects: open-vm-tools (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: open-vm-tools (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: open-vm-tools (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Changed in: open-vm-tools (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1758428 Title: Subprocesses of StartProgramInGuest fail when creating temporary files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1758428/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
