Bug#1042360: RFP: open-vmdk -- tool for creating Open Virtual Appliances (OVAs)
Package: open-vmdk Severity: wishlist open-vmdk can be used to create OVA and OVF files, to deploy virtual machines for VMware (vSphere, or Fusion/Workstation). It contains two tools: * vmdk-convert to convert raw disk images to vmdk format * ova-compose to create OVF files, and OVAs with the vmdk file(s) URL: https://github.com/vmware/open-vmdk
Bug#960065: patch to replace 'netstat' with 'sdmp'
We now have a patch that replaces 'netstat' with 'ss' because the former is deprecated. We just created an extra branch with the changes, plus two minor sdmp related fixes: https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/commits/stable-11.1.0-SDMP-fixes Thanks, Oliver
Bug#960065: Please put this on hold
Hi, because of "netstat" being widely deprecated now, we are going to change the sdmp plugin to use "ss" instead. There is no point in continuing with the current version of sdmp in 11.1.0, so please put this on hold. We are going to have a fixed version in our next release, and may provide a patch for 11.1.0. This does not affect the rest of open-vm-tools 11.1.0 , so the update can go ahead without the plugin. Note that it's not built by default. Thanks, Oliver
Bug#960065: add the sdmp plugin
Package: open-vm-tools Version: 2:11.1.0 Version 11.1.0 adds the sdmp plugin, see https://marketplace.vmware.com/vsx/solutions/vrealize-operations-service-discovery-management-pack?ref=search This should be in an optional separate package. Attached is a patch for the Debian scripts that would create this package. This has been used in our internal testing. Note that there is an additional runtime dependency on net-tools for netstat. Thanks, Oliver debian-sdmp.patch Description: debian-sdmp.patch
Bug#960061: open-vm-tools 11.1.0 released
Package: open-vm-tools Version: 2:11.0.5-5 We have released open-vm-tools 11.1.0. See https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/releases/tag/stable-11.1.0 This package adds the new sdmp plugin. I will file another bug to add it as a separate Debian package. Oliver
Bug#954958: Please add appinfo plugin
Package: open-vm-tools Version: 2:11.0.5-4 We have added a plugin in open-vm-tools. It did not make part of the 11.0.5 release, but has been tested by us. It's part of the Wndows version, and will be part of our next release. For open-vm-tools, all changes are in this branch (forked directly from the 11.0.5 release): https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/tree/stable-11.0.5-appinfo . Here is a description for the plugin: https://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2019/12/application-discovery-in-vsphere-with-vmware-tools-11.html , or see https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Tools/11.0.0/com.vmware.vsphere.vmwaretools.doc/GUID-3A8089F6-CAF6-43B9-BD9D-B1081F8D64E2.html . Following are implemented in this changeset: * New plugin named appInfo is added to VMware Tools. It will be installed by default in Linux guests. * This is a 'vmsvc' only plugin. It will be loaded only by vmsvc process. The plugin will have the system-level privileges since it's loaded by vmsvc service. * When loaded, every 30 minutes (can be configured by a switch in tools.conf file), the plugin gets the list of processes running inside the guest and publishes them into a guest variable (guestinfo.appinfo). The content will be printed in JSON format for easy parsing. * The plugin is enabled by default. If the guest administrator sets the key/value 'disabled=true' in 'appinfo' section in tools.conf file, then the plugin is disabled and doesn't publish any information. Ex: # In tools.conf file [appinfo] disabled=true # via toolbox utility. vmware-toolbox-cmd config set appinfo disabled true * The poll-interval can be adjusted by the guest administrator by tweaking the poll-interval key under appinfo section in tools.conf file or by calling vmware-toolbox-cmd utility. Ex: # In tools.conf file [appinfo] poll-interval = 3600 # The value should be specified in seconds. vmware-toolbox-cmd config set appinfo poll-interval 3600 * From inside the guest, the following commands can be executed to retrieve the JSON information published to the guest variable. vmtoolsd --cmd “info-get guestinfo.appInfo” vmware-rpctool “info-get guestinfo.appInfo” Thanks, Oliver
Bug#950888: lots of entries in vmware-vmsvc-root.log "[ warning] [guestinfo] GuestInfoGetDiskDevice: Missing disk device name;

Bug#925940: open-vm-tools 10.3.10 released

Bug#921470: A short summary of the changes
A short summary of the changes: - Attempt to notify the host that a backup manifest is available on every completed snapshot. Previously vmtoolsd attempted to detect whether the host was running an older version of ESX that did not support receiving a backup manifest, which occasionally resulted in it erroneously identifying a host as an older host. - Provide more informative logging messages when a backup manifest notification is refused by the host. - Abort quiesced snapshot operations promptly after detecting that the host has aborted its side of the operation. Previously vmtools would continue until it hit its own internal timeout. - Don’t try to notify the host that a backup manifest is available when the quiesced snapshot is aborted. We suggest to have these changes integrated into the 10.3.5 package.
Bug#921470: Correct and/or improve handling of certain quiesced snapshot failures
Package: open-vm-tools Version: 2:10.3.5-5 Customers may hit issues with quiesced snapshots under certain circumstances.

Bug#876121: FTBFS: error: 'std::index_sequence' has not been declared
I was building without setting that flag, and it built fine. So to me it looks like another library upodate (glibmm?) has fixed it. Can you try without setting the flag again, with a recent update of Debian/sid?

Bug#876121: FTBFS: error: 'std::index_sequence' has not been declared
We see the same issue in our internal tests at VMware. The solution seems to be to set CXXFLAGS=-std=c++14 for the configure command: CXXFLAGS=-std=c++14 ./configure --without-kernel-modules I need to find a way to put this into the configure script itself. I wonder how other packages are handling this issue? Oliver

Bug#860861: run-vmblock\x2dfuse.mount present but not enabled
Package: open-vm-tools-desktop Version: 2:10.1.5-5055683-3 The systemd unit file /lib/systemd/system/run-vmblock\x2dfuse.mount is present, but it's not enabled or started when installed.

There is no need for the -dkms package at all (not just the -desktop package), since vmhgfs is replaced with fuse, and all other modules are part of the kernel. With kernel 4.9, the only module installed by it is the vmxnet driver, which is deprecated (and this isn't specififc to -desktop anyway). Note that in the future we will probably remove the source for kernel modules from open-vm-tools, so the -dkms package will be no longer of any use.

Bug#855337: please add vgauth service to open-vm-tools
Hi Bernd, vgauth is a service that allows authentication in the guest using SAML tokens. It's actually more useful in guests running under vSphere than in guests running under Workstation/Fusion, and can be used for guest operations initiated from the datacenter. It has nothing to do with having a desktop or not.

Bug#815116: Please update open-vm-tools to 10.0.7
Package: open-vm-tools Version: 2:10.0.5-3227872-2 Hi, we just released version 10.0.7 of open-vm-tools. See https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/blob/stable-10.0.x/open-vm-tools/ChangeLog? for recent changes. It contains mostly bug fixes, and the addition of the namespace tool. Thanks, Oliver

?Hi, is there any progress on the update? Please let me know if I can help. Thanks, Oliver
Bug#797725: please update open-vm-tools to 10.0.0
Package: open-vm-tools Version: 2:9.10.2-2822639-3? Hi, we just released version 10.0.0 of open-vm-tools. It's available at https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/tree/stable-10.0.x . See https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/blob/stable-10.0.x/ReleaseNotes.md? for release notes. Thanks, Oliver
Bug#782287: hw-detect: install open-vm-tools in d-i
open-vm-tools is mainly about user space tools. Kernel drivers have been either obsoleted, or are part of the current Linux kernel. The only kernel module still needed from open-vm-tools is vmhgfs, which we plan to obsolete in the future when we migrate to using FUSE. But vmhgfs could be distributed as a separate package from open-vm-tools, and made optional. I think the patch can be modified such that open-vm-tools will only be installed if it is available. About the non-transparent development process, please let me know what exactly the concerns are. We do not use github as our primary repository for tools, therefore each release it published in one huge commit. But I am sure the process can be improved, if we know the concerns.
Bug#789722: please open-vm-tools upgrade to 9.10.2
Package: open-vm-tools Version: 2:9.10.0-2476743-4 We have release version 9.10.2 of open-vm-tools. It's available on github at https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/tree/stable-9.10.x It has mainly bug fixes.

Bug#781784: progress
Hi Bernd, do you have an update? Let me know if you need help - I do have package scripts for Ubuntu packages which we used in internal testing, I can attach those or send to you if that helps.
Bug#781784: please update open-vm-tools to the latest release 9.10.0
Package: open-vm-tools Version: 2:9.4.6-1770165-8 We have release version 9.10.0 of open-vm-tools, see https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/tree/stable-9.10.x. Please consider updating open-vm-tools to this new version, which corresponds to vSphere 6.0. ? Thanks, Oliver
Bug#781783: Add open-vm-tools when installing in a VMware VM

Bug#345751: monitoring nonexistent interface causes X performance problems
Hi, this shouldn't happen if ifplugd is started using the hotplug scripts, so if the interface is in HOTPLUG_INTERFACES in /etc/default/ifplugd. Is that what you are doing? You can also use the -M option for ifplugd. I can reproduce the bug without that option (I see spikes in the CPU usage), but not with the -M option.

Bug#328888: ITP: llconf -- utility and library for loss less configuration file parsing
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Oliver Kurth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Package name: llconf Version : 0.4.0 Upstream Author : Oliver Kurth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://people.debian.org/~oku/llconf/ * License : GPL Description : utility and library for loss less configuration file parsing llconf is a utility and a C library for lossless configuration file parsing and unparsing. It is useful to read and modify different configuration files with different formats, using a modular approach, and can also be used for any application to read its configuration. It includes parsers for shell, table (for example /etc/passwd, /etc/fstab), ifupdown, pair, ini, syslog-ng, iptables, mgetty, snmpd, ipsec, ppp and others. More parsers can be easily added. The files are parsed into trees, and functions allow access and modification of the trees. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Is there any information in the log files? Did ifplugd tell anything? Also, do you remember any change to your system that my have caused the problem? A kernel update, for example? What happens when you do ifup eth0 after boot, when it did not work? Do you use dhcp?

This > looks like this: Well, this is not a bug. ifplugd's purpose is to run as a daemon, and bring up an interface whenever you plug in a cable. This means your setup should also work when you boot your laptop without a cable plugged in, and plug it in some time later - at that time it should do your guessnet work, which in turn does pppoe or dhcp. It won't work, right? So if you solve that problem, you will also solve your original problem ;-). ifplugd calls (by default) ifup . ifup will use the scripts in /etc/network/if-up.d/ and *that* is where you have to start all services that depend on that interface. This will also work at boot time. I hope that helps. Greetings, Oliver signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I have set the -q flag in the default configuration. -q means 'Don't call the script for network shutdown on deamon quit (default: off)'. So, it should not down the interface when it stops. Strange is, that you do seem to have that option set, according to the debconf information below. So it should not happen. Did you change the settings?
