Marcelo, Another excellent suggestion! I used the '--plugin-path' option. That did the trick.
Sorry for what may seem like a lot of bone-head questions, but we do our compiles on development machines in a tightly controlled chroot where much of the standard libs, like the gnome libs, are not available. I've had to do some hand-crafting of the vmtools build. You're answers to my questions have been very helpful. Thanks, -Mark G ________________________________ From: Marcelo Vanzin <[email protected]> To: open-vm-tools discussions <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, June 30, 2009 3:31:42 PM Subject: Re: vmtools: Failure to handle cmd Hi Mark, Mark Grimes wrote: > Jun 29 19:13:57.022: vcpu-0| TOOLS sending 'OS_PowerOn' (3) state change > request > Jun 29 19:13:57.023: vcpu-0| Guest: toolbox: Version: build-167859 > Jun 29 19:13:57.050: vcpu-0| TOOLS Unable to send OS_*: tools failed to > interpret cmd > > The host recognizes that vmtools are available, but the failure to handle the > command still disables capability to power off and reset the guest from the > host. Any suggestions on what I'm missing? The "OS_*" messages are handled by the "powerOps" plugin (I'm assuming you're running a recent build of open-vm-tools). If that plugin is not loaded for any reason, then Tools won't be able to handle those messages even though Tools are reported as running. I'm not sure how you're installing Tools, but the current "make install" has a bug where the plugins are placed in the wrong directory (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/277556/comments/16 for description and a workaround). You can also enable logging (see docs/api/services/utils.txt in the open-vm-tools distribution for some instructions) and check the output to make sure the plugins are being loaded correctly. -- - Marcelo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ open-vm-tools-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/open-vm-tools-discuss
