Hi
I cannot see a package named "vmtoolsd" in the debian archives. But I
can see a package named "open-vm-tools", which has files named like
that:
Yes, I know. No, I do not have "open-vm-tools" package.
This package seems to be the VMware Tools bit intended to be installed
on a guest VM - i.e. it does not provide virtualisation, but does
stuff guests...
Is your box a VMWare guest? If not, then you should not need open-vm-tools.
Yes, I know. No, my computer is not a virtual machine and I did not
install on it any virtual machine software (and especially not VMware).
My guess was that somebody assumed it is a VM box. (That's why I
mentioned stealing of processor cycles)
I would not suspect this to be the case here. If you have the
open-vm-tools package from the Debian repository, you should be safe.
Hope this helps
No, according to synaptic I do not have installed any package that has
"VM" in it.
But thanks anyway.
