this bug is not a duplicate. it is present in jockey 0.5~beta3-0ubuntu6.1
i have open-vm-toolbox (2008.08.08) package installed. it loads following kernel modules vmblock vmci vmxnet vmmemctl vmhgfs and jockey time outs as the report describes. but after sudo /etc/init.d/vmware-tools stop jockey will work. and helpfully, it will suggest "VMware Virtual Ethernet driver" and "VMware Virtual Machine Communication Interface" I'm running this under VMware Fusion 2.0 for mac ** Summary changed: - in VMWare environment + timeout in VMWare environment -- timeout in VMWare environment https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/258850 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
