Public bug reported: Binary package hint: open-vm-tools
Problem: After installing open-vm-tools the OS doesn't understand 'mount -t vmhgfs ...' nor does it understand a vmhgfs entry in /etc/fstab. This is because there is no mount.vmghfs in /sbin; however hgfsmounter does exist. Solution: I suggest that hgfsmounter be sym-linked to /sbin/mount.vmhgfs so one can call 'mount -t vmhgfs ...' and the OS will know how to mount it. code for postinstall script: chmod u+s /usr/sbin/hgfsmounter ln -s /usr/sbin/hgfsmounter /sbin/mount.vmhgfs See: http://open-vm-tools.wiki.sourceforge.net/Packaging?#tocPackaging2 OS: Description: Ubuntu hardy (development branch) Release: 8.04 Package Version: open-vm-tools: Installed: 2008.01.23-74039-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 2008.01.23-74039-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 2008.01.23-74039-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/universe Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: open-vm-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- open-vm-tools does not install mount.vmhgfs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/216391 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
