To daemonize vmtoolsd, you need to provide the "--background" (or -b) command line option (just like it used to be for vmware-guestd). This applies to any named instance of vmtoolsd. But you're right - "vmtoolsd -n vmusr" is not yet ready to replace vmware-user, we still need to port a bunch of features. > so I went back and tested with vmware-user-suid-wrapper (which was the > previous running version I used).

I'm not too sure what's the current state of drag & drop, but if I find some time I'll take a look to see what's going on. The new dnd protocol is still under development for Linux, so there might be bugs (I think there's an option somewhere you can use to force use of the old protocol, but I can't remember it from the top of my head). > also, in the packaging wiki is vmblock-fuse mentioned short, but I did not > find any references to this. I'll look into adding something about vmblock-fuse into the packaging wiki. The short version is that you can (now) choose to install either the vmblock kernel module or vmblock-fuse, and vmware-user should be happy with either. -- - Marcelo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensign option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ open-vm-tools-devel mailing list open-vm-tools-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/open-vm-tools-devel
