Hello again did som more testing today. First replaced and updated vmware player to 15.10.1 the latest.
I did reach the VM with SSH after I have restored it. I restored the VM-machine and updated everything except "vmware tools" in the recommended section. It worked fine after restart. The machine runs vmtools versions open-vm-tools/now 2:10.3.5-7~ubuntu0.18.04.1 amd64 [installerat,lokalt] open-vm-tools-desktop/now 2:10.3.5-7~ubuntu0.18.04.1 amd64 [installerat,lokalt] I then tried to update my Linux Mint 19.1 with the commands sudo su cd / sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools open-vm-tools-desktop + reboot It worked and gave me open-vm-tools/bionic-updates,now 2:10.3.10-1~ubuntu0.18.04.1 amd64 [installerat,lokalt] open-vm-tools-desktop/bionic-updates,now 2:10.3.10-1~ubuntu0.18.04.1 amd64 [installerat,lokalt] I then tried the same command on ubuntu 18.04.1 and got a message that I already had the latest version. Is there actually a newer open-vmtools for Linux Mint? I then activated the 2 VM-tools-packeges that were not updated. I then discovered I was wrong it's not the open-vm-tools packages that cause the problems when reading more carefully. I do not find them in the listing of "installed packages" either. They show up in the recommended section, these were the only packages that were shown. "Open VMware Tools for Virtual MAchines hosted on VMware (CLI)" "Open VMware Tools for Virtual MAchines hosted on VMware (GUI)" Earlier when I ticked these for update I got the problem. I then unticked the ...((CLI) package and then went ahead to update the ...(GUI) package, I tested to see wich of them causes the problem. I then rebooted, the system came up working!! However searching for the ....(CLI) package showed nothing, maybe it was required by the GUI package? Anyway it works now but no sign of them in the installed list. I will do updating manually for some time to come to see what happens. What are these packages since they are not open-vm-tools Open VMware Tools for Virtual Machines hosted on VMware (CLI) Open VMware Tools for Virtual Machines hosted on VMware (GUI) Are there versions numbers on these too and why do they not show up in the "installed list"? Are they part of vmtools or something else? Thanks for taking your time to help my.
