Confirmed here with latest release of vmware tools for VMware ESX 3.0.2. It would be nice if Ubuntu would either bundle compatible precompiled modules with the ESX tools tarball, or even better, include these modules and tools in the repository.
ESX, unlike VMware Server, absolutely relies on the vmmemctl driver as well as the VMware tools. It becomes especially important when it comes to memory management and VMotion (only available on ESX). As such, this bug is a major showstopper, because it prevents Ubuntu adoption on VMware ESX (read many, many enterprise clients). While I realize this is a VMware bug, as Hanno said, Canonical should work definitely collaborate on this with VMware Inc. -- vmware tools dont compile with hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/188391 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
