Public bug reported:
0) run bionic ver 18.04.1 in vmware player VM-machine ver 15.04
Everything worked fine until today when updating.
open-vm-tools has version 3.5.7 (working)
1) Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS Release: 18.04
2) apt-cache policy open-vm-tools
open-vm-tools:
Installerad: 2:10.3.5-7~ubuntu0.18.04.1
Kandidat: 2:10.3.5-7~ubuntu0.18.04.1
Versionstabell:
*** 2:10.3.5-7~ubuntu0.18.04.1 100
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
2:10.2.0-3ubuntu3 500
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages
3) After upgrading "all" I expected the VM to start as usal
and show the login.
4) When starting the VM it comes as far as starting the graphical
interface just befor showing the login.
It just hangs from there, can only be turned off.
I debugged by restoring a backup and then adding the
packages in smaller groups and could see that updating
to the latest open-vm-tools created this problem.
I also run Linux-mint as VM on the same host wich works
fine but it uses manual installation of vmware tools.
I tested with vmware player 15.04 and 15.1, same result.
I can't see the version on the the open-vm-tools package
fetched from the server used for the update, guess it's
latest whatever that is.
