Nate, your efforts are much appreciated and I'll be following them with great interest. While I still use the proprietary VMWare Tools [8.4.6 Build 385536] on my Ubuntu 11.04 guest [kernel 2.6.39-3], they seem to be quite broken on Debian Sid [kernel 2.6.39-1].
I was quite sure they would still build on the rc7 kernel for which Debian Unstable obliged me to create my own kbuild infrastructure (quite educational for a novice). Since the Debian version, even in Unstable, is quite ancient [8.4.2-261024-1], I am becoming quite desperate. Desperate enough to perhaps install an Ubuntu package on Debian ;-) Cheers. -- 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/776103 Title: package open-vm-dkms 2011.03.28-387002-0ubuntu2 fails to build against 2.6.39 kernels, due to missing linux/smp_lock.h To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/776103/+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
