Quoting Kate Stewart (727...@bugs.launchpad.net): > Any update on this? The kernel modules in open-vm-dkms are to be installed in the vmware guests, not the hosts. So our previous concern about testing the kernel modules should be far far lessesened.
Nevertheless, I ran ltp on monday with and with the patches - applied on a host, not guests - and ltp did, by the time it got to rename014, cause a hang in xfs. I think a mutex must have been left locked, bc basically any subsequent task closing an fd would hang. When not running ltp, the host would run fine with the modules loaded. Since these modules are to be installed in the guest, not the host, and since ltp is a very stressful test, I would maintain we are better off with this package, which at least allows the open-vm-tools to install. I did try to install vmware-player in order to test in a guest, but that (which requires a download from vmware.com, not our package) wouldn't work. However, earlier comments in this bug claimed success with this package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/727342 Title: FFE: open-vm-tools kernel module failed to build -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
