[Bug 191776] Re: Shutdown guest using the VI Client with VMware ESX 3.0.2 doesn't work
Since this has been fixed in the current development Ubuntu release, I'm closing this ticket, but leaving it open against Hardy. ** Changed in: open-vm-tools (Ubuntu) Status: New = Fix Released -- Shutdown guest using the VI Client with VMware ESX 3.0.2 doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191776 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Err, scratch that - open-vm-tools was removed from Hardy, so there's not really anything left to fix here. -- Shutdown guest using the VI Client with VMware ESX 3.0.2 doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191776 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 191776] Re: Shutdown guest using the VI Client with VMware ESX 3.0.2 doesn't work
the problem with the VM ware tools package is that it's missing some very important components, specifically: poweroff-vm-default resume-vm-default poweron-vm-default suspend-vm-default there may be something else missing for invoking the scripts but, I haven't figured out what it is yet. without these scripts in place one should not use Ubuntu as a virtual machine because there is no way to cleanly shutdown a virtual machine when the host is shutting down. I view this as a critical problem especially if you hope to use 8.04 as a virtual server. fixing this problem shouldn't be too hard as the current code base of open-VM-tools has what is needed. -- Shutdown guest using the VI Client with VMware ESX 3.0.2 doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191776 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

according to the documentation on the open-VM-tools website, the four default files listed above should be placed into /etc/vmware-tools with the execute bit turned on (555 seems to work). Initial, admittedly very brief testing reset and suspend appear to work. What's still missing is the VM Ware automatic cursor grab and release functionality. When you try to use the VM Ware workstation console, the mouse is grabbed until you hit ctrl-alt to release it. Full vmware tools should not demonstrate this problem. -- Shutdown guest using the VI Client with VMware ESX 3.0.2 doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191776 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
