@Nate, Yeah, a number of the added depends and recommends lead back to X stuff. Here's the added ones that do, as far as I can tell:
- Requires: libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libgtk2.0-0 libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a libice6 libx11-6 libxcomposite1 libxext6 libxi6 libxinerama1 libxrandr2 libxss1 libxtst6 - Recommends: xauth xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse xserver-xorg-video-vmware I think a separate package is probably how this needs to end up, I agree. I'm not sure if it could be purely a dummy package - would any of this stuff brought in from the old toolbox package cause problems on a system with no X11 present? (Heck, if they don't, then a single unified package would work just fine.) /etc/vmware-tools/xautostart.conf /etc/xdg/autostart/vmware-user.desktop /usr/bin/vmware-xdg-detect-de /usr/lib/open-vm-tools/plugins/vmusr/libdesktopEvents.so /usr/lib/open-vm-tools/plugins/vmusr/libdndcp.so /usr/lib/open-vm-tools/plugins/vmusr/libresolutionSet.so /usr/lib/open-vm-tools/plugins/vmusr/libunity.so The best 'shape' of that eventual solution as far as packages and their names, I'm not sure on. open-vm-tools for CLI // open-vm-tools-gui for GUI open-vm-tools for CLI // open-vm-toolbox for GUI open-vm-tools-cli for CLI // open-vm-tools for GUI open-vm-tools-cli for CLI // open-vm-tools-gui for GUI open-vm-tools-nox for CLI // open-vm-tools for GUI I'm really not sure what naming scheme would be the most Ubuntu- appropriate, but I'd personally have no complaint with any of those variants. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/604998 Title: open-vm-tools (CLI tools) recommends gui tools To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/604998/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
