Package: open-vm-tools-desktop Version: 2:9.4.6-1770165-5 Severity: important
Dear Maintainer, The issues below where observed with a fresh installation of Jessie and VMWare Player 6.0.3 build-1895310 (Windows 7 x64) The steps for installing the open-vm-tools where the following: *) Create a new VM *) Install Jessie (Beta 2 x86), use gnome desktop *) git the open-vm package *) dpkg-buildpackage -b *) dpkg -i the tools, desktop and dkms package Rather than listing every bug issue separate, I chose to list them together since I dont know enough to address the right package (resizing issue) and seperating the rest is hard as the issues are likely related. 1) Overview of adverse effects: -Resizing is rather dodgy, snaps back to a really small window when its resized to a somewhat bigger size ( like >= 400 pixels). But runnig fullscren does work fine. Such a failed resize seems to create a real mess (own topic) -The system daemon doesnt run, the user daemon seems to run, but without filedescriptor (means it cant access /tmp/VMWareDND) ps output: 1235 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/vmtoolsd -n vmusr What it should be (From a wheezy installation): 2466 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/bin/vmtoolsd 3561 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/vmtoolsd -n vmusr --blockFd 3 -Drag and drop is not working Is doesnt matter whether the service is enabled or not. Drag and drop should basically work without a running vmblock, but often truncate files 2) Additional adverse effects after a failed resize: -Clipboard is not shared between guest/host (seems like the xserver is somehow restarted on those tools and plugins loose track) -System hangs on shutdown. Im quite sure this happens only if you had one or more failed resizings. 3) As far as I can tell (systemd is pretty alien to me): * Sevice open-vm-tools is not "enabled" to run on startup * Starting or enabling it doesnt makes any difference to drag&drap feature * the run-vmblock-fuse scripts never get executed 4) Not sure if bugs: the /etc/init.d script is still installed ? -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.16-2-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages open-vm-tools-desktop depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 2.12.0-1 ii libatkmm-1.6-1 2.22.7-2.1 ii libc6 2.19-11 ii libcairo2 1.12.16-5 ii libcairomm-1.0-1 1.10.0-1.1 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-6.1 ii libfreetype6 2.5.2-2 ii libgcc1 1:4.9.1-16 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.30.8-1+b1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.42.0-1 ii libglibmm-2.4-1c2a 2.42.0-1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.24-1 ii libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a 1:2.24.4-1.1 ii libice6 2:1.0.9-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.36.7-1 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.36.7-1 ii libpangoft2-1.0-0 1.36.7-1 ii libpangomm-1.4-1 2.34.0-1.1 ii libsigc++-2.0-0c2a 2.2.11-4 ii libsm6 2:1.2.2-1 ii libstdc++6 4.9.1-16 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-3 ii libxext6 2:1.3.2-1 ii libxi6 2:1.7.4-1 ii libxinerama1 2:1.1.3-1 ii libxrandr2 2:1.4.2-1 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.8-1 ii libxtst6 2:1.2.2-1 ii open-vm-tools 2:9.4.6-1770165-5 Versions of packages open-vm-tools-desktop recommends: ii fuse 2.9.3-15 ii open-vm-tools-dkms 2:9.4.6-1770165-5 ii xauth 1:1.0.9-1 ii xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse 1:13.0.0-1+b3 ii xserver-xorg-video-vmware 1:13.0.2-3+b1 Versions of packages open-vm-tools-desktop suggests: ii xdg-utils 1.1.0~rc1+git20111210-7.1 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
