[Bug 632101] Re: FFe: New upstream of open-vm-tools
I know this merge won't happen (I think), but would it be okay if I push a new proposal (using what's in the Maverick repo) that would just add: 1) The fixes for the vmhgfs and vsock modules (they are in the 2010.06.16-268169-3 packaging) 2) Loading the vmxnet module at boot. Even if it does get fixed, it's good to have it in, just in case. Doing this would change only 3 files in the debian folder (local/Makefile, open-vm-tools.init, and the changelog). As I said earlier, this problem, according to the debian bug report, is marked as serious and affects the packaging in the Maverick Repo. -- FFe: New upstream of open-vm-tools https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/632101 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

I'm going to try something. I going to put the loading of the vmxnet module, and the mount command in to the "open-vm-tools.init" file in the debian folder. I've pushed it to one of my PPAs (for Lucid). I'm going to get it a test run in a hour or so. If it succeeds I'll push it packaging (with the Maverick Patches) to the same PPA. And if the Maverick test works fine, I'll push it to my merge proposal. -- FFe: New upstream of open-vm-tools https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/632101 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 632101] Re: FFe: New upstream of open-vm-tools
I just tried the test on Ubuntu Lucid (64-Bit) because it's the only VM I have that I didn't get around to fixing the vmxnet/pcnet32 bug. Here's my results: -Injecting a "modrobe vmxnet" into the open-vm-tools.init successfully connects to the internet with the vmxnet module (instead of the pcnet32 module). -I'm having issues with the Shared Folders mount. I want to point out that the Ubuntu Lucid I'm using had that MountSharedFolders activated, so I removed it (and the references for rc.d(x)). I'm working on this one, it might stay or might get dropped. -- FFe: New upstream of open-vm-tools https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/632101 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 632101] Re: FFe: New upstream of open-vm-tools
It all works now. To get the shared folders to work properly, I just had to add the if statement to check if the hgfs directory exists in the /mnt directory, if it doesn't, create the hgfs directory. If it does exist, do nothing. I'm going to push these changes to my PPA (for Maverick) as well as in my Merge proposal. -- FFe: New upstream of open-vm-tools https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/632101 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

I've finished the fixes, I've pushed the packaging to my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~n-muench/+archive/virtual-test), as well as to my merge proposal. I've got to wait for the packaging to finish compiling before I can test it. This worked successfully earlier on Lucid (and for the record, the packaging in that PPA for Lucid is missing that if statement).

[Bug 632101] Re: FFe: New upstream of open-vm-tools
There's 2 things want to note (the first of which needs to be fixed before release day): 1) Before the most recent Maverick Kernel release (2.6.35-21.31), the vmxnet and pcnet32 modules could co-exist, with the vmxnet module being the default network driver/module. Now because of the kernel released within the last day (2.6.35-21.31), has caused a problem. At boot, Ubuntu now loads the pcnet32 module, but not the vmxnet module. This problem also exists in the Kernel for Lucid proposed (I have the June release installed (from my PPA), except it doesn't have the Maverick patches because the packaging was build specifically for Lucid). The only way to fix this problem is to blacklist pcnet32 (and the run "update-initramfs -u") in order for the vmxnet load. Doing this might cause issues ("might" is the keyword here). I don't know what I should do about this. Blacklist the pcnet32 module, or tweak the script to allow pcnet32 and vmxnet to co-exist again. 2) This is something that isn't very urgent, but I would like implemented in the packaging eventually. With the VMware Tools included with the software, when you want to activate the shared folders feature, and go to the /mnt/hgfs folder, your shared folder is there (this is the default). But with the open-vm-tools, this is the major issues with it, the shared folders feature doesn't work properly. You can select the folder you want to shared, but it isn't mounted properly. The only to have it properly show up is to run a mount command either at boot or after you mount the folder. Attached is the script I use to allow shared folders to mount correctly in the /mnt/hgfs folder. I move this script to the /etc/init.d folder and then run "update-rc.d
