@dyno-fu I *was* using the open-vm-tools from the PPA! I tried several things with either open-vm-tools or vmware-tools and the conflicting software removed. Ubuntu was upgraded from 15.04 (initially 12.04), open-vm-tools and vmware-tools were both always working fine. After the upgrade, things didn't work as described above.
To keep my (maybe broken) Ubuntu system out the equation I installed a clean 32-bit Ubuntu 15.10 from scratch into a new VM (in fact I downloaded one from osboxes.org) Surprise: open-vm-tools 9.10.3 are working fine on a 32-bit VM. Obviously my installation has to be broken in some way. If noone else has the same problem, I'll throw away the garbage and start over new... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to open-vm-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1500581 Title: open-vm-tools-dkms fails to build on kernel 4.2 (Wily Werewolf) [error: implicit declaration of function ‘nd_set_link’] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/1500581/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
