open-vm-dkms is unable to build drivers on Precise currently for both the stock 3.2 kernel and the newer HWE (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack) kernels.
For those needing an HWE kernel in your Precise installation, the Saucy or newer HWE kernels are supported by a new open-vm-tools-lts-trusty package being introduced in bug #1275656. Older kernels, which are still supported, will still require a fix in open-vm-dkms as the newer packages mentioned above require a v3.9 or newer kernel. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to open-vm-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1083719 Title: open-vm-dkms 2011.12.20-562307-0ubuntu1: open-vm-tools kernel module failed to build [error: implicit declaration of function ‘d_alloc_root’] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1083719/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
