The problem seems to be caused in 03_kernel_makefile_fix.diff applied by Ubuntu. The following procedure allows the modules to build:
$ sudo module-assistant auto-install open-vm-source This build will fail. Select STOP and abort the installation. $ cd /usr/src/modules/open-vm $ wget -qO - http://patches.ubuntu.com/o/open-vm-tools/extracted/03_kernel_makefile_fix.diff | sudo patch --reverse -p3 $ sudo module-assistant --not-unpack auto-install open-vm-source This should build and install the modules for the current kernel. -- module-assistant fails to install open-vm-source https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193606 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
