This just means you're missing more needed devel packages for these things.

If that's your problem then it's unlikely that open-vm-tools will be able to help you. To know why Tools are not syncing time, we'd need more information (e.g., whether the Tools service is running - either the vmware-guestd or vmtoolsd process, and whether time syncing is enabled - so we'd need tools.conf and your .vmx file to be sure, and if possible logs from Tools). If ntpd is not working it might be that it is not configured correctly, e.g., it can't reach the server it's configured to use. -- - Marcelo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing 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-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/open-vm-tools-discuss
