the problem with the VM ware tools package is that it's missing some very important components, specifically:
poweroff-vm-default resume-vm-default poweron-vm-default suspend-vm-default there may be something else missing for invoking the scripts but, I haven't figured out what it is yet. without these scripts in place one should not use Ubuntu as a virtual machine because there is no way to cleanly shutdown a virtual machine when the host is shutting down. I view this as a critical problem especially if you hope to use 8.04 as a virtual server. fixing this problem shouldn't be too hard as the current code base of open-VM-tools has what is needed. -- Shutdown guest using the VI Client with VMware ESX 3.0.2 doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191776 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
