Ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid) amd64. Upgraded open-vm-tools with Anders' package (open-vm- tools_2008.08.08-109361-1ubuntu2.2~andersk5_amd64.deb) but not the open- vm-tools (still running on the stock ubuntu open-vm-source package). Seems to be working nicely -- vmware-guestd crashing https://bugs.lau

I picked up the source to follow up on Dimitry's suggestion. First, I attempted to remove particular patch. Build fails because apparently, without the format string, it would generate a warning, and the compiler is being run so that warnings become errors. As such, the formatting string is nece

I've been trying to follow Adar's intructions, but the vmware-guestd binary in the open-vm-tools-dbg package has some other error causing it not to run at all. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong though as I'm not familiar with using gdb. theg...@tmh-dev1:/usr/lib/debug/usr/sbin$ sudo ./vmware-gues

Core dumps aren't going to work because I think our core dumping code is busted (see the definition of the Panic_Panic if you're curious). Travis or Martin: could one of you reproduce this crash within gdb and use symbols to get a more meaningful backtrace? I'm not sure if Ubuntu's vmware-guestd b

Unfortunately it doesn't help. I changed the line "alias net-pf-10 ipv6" to "alias net-pf-10 off" in /etc/modprobe.d/aliases and insured myself that the ipv6 kernel module has not been loaded after reboot. vmware-guestd still crashes after a few seconds. -- vmware-guestd crashing https://bugs.

Looks like a crash in retrieving information from libdnet, used by the guestInfo subsystem in guestd. Could you reproduce the bug and upload the dumped core as well as the guestd executable containing symbols? You may need to play with 'ulimit' to allow a core dump to be generated. -- vmware-gue
