Package: open-vm-tools-desktop Version: 2:10.2.0-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
After upgrade to open-vm-tools[-desktop] 2:10.2.0-1 in Sid, the per-session user-owned vmtoolsd process segfaults in libgdk while logging into a Wayland GNOME session. The problem does not occur for an Xorg GNOME session. This problem appears to be identical to the known problem reported in Red Hat Bug 1526952 and (my) SUSE Bug 1073760. Note that in openSUSE Tumbleweed the problem occurred for open-vm-tools-desktop 10.1.15 as well as 10.2.0, so it might not simply be a bug introduced with your upgrade. Note that Fedora have released a workaround, and my understanding is that VMware are working on a permanent fix involving rework of the plugins to handle Wayland. For an Xorg session: lovelld@ron5sid:~$ ps -ef | grep vmtoolsd root 417 1 0 10:30 ? 00:00:02 /usr/bin/vmtoolsd lovelld 3442 1 0 10:41 tty2 00:00:02 /usr/bin/vmtoolsd -n vmusr --blockFd 3 lovelld 4087 3847 0 11:04 pts/2 00:00:00 grep -d skip --color=auto vmtoolsd For a Wayland session, the process running as me (with the -n vmusr option) is not present, and the journal shows it segfaults in libgdk. See the Red Hat and SUSE bugs for further details, including stack traces. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.14.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages open-vm-tools-desktop depends on: ii fuse 2.9.7-1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.26.1-2 ii libatkmm-1.6-1v5 2.24.2-3 ii libc6 2.26-4 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.15.8-3 ii libcairo2 1.15.8-3 ii libcairomm-1.0-1v5 1.12.2-2 ii libdrm2 2.4.89-1 ii libgcc1 1:7.2.0-19 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.36.11-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.54.3-1 ii libglibmm-2.4-1v5 2.54.1-2 ii libgtk-3-0 3.22.26-2 ii libgtkmm-3.0-1v5 3.22.2-2 ii libice6 2:1.0.9-2 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.40.14-1 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.40.14-1 ii libpangomm-1.4-1v5 2.40.1-4 ii libsigc++-2.0-0v5 2.10.0-1 ii libsm6 2:1.2.2-1+b3 ii libstdc++6 7.2.0-19 ii libudev1 236-3 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1+b2 ii libxi6 2:1.7.9-1 ii libxinerama1 2:1.1.3-1+b3 ii libxrandr2 2:1.5.1-1 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.10-1 ii libxtst6 2:1.2.3-1 ii open-vm-tools 2:10.2.0-1 Versions of packages open-vm-tools-desktop recommends: ii xauth 1:1.0.10-1 pn xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse <none> ii xserver-xorg-video-vmware 1:13.2.1-1+b1 Versions of packages open-vm-tools-desktop suggests: ii xdg-utils 1.1.2-1 -- no debconf information
