Attached is a patch that adds in the necessary code for vmware-user-suid-wrapper to properly modprobe to remove and add the vmblock module. I tried very hard to follow the style conventions of the existing code.
One thing that's a bit kludgy: The platform independent code thinks it should create the vmblock directory in /proc/fs. Under linux, that's done in the vmblock kernel module initialization. I chose to add a platform specific "if !defined(linux)" to the platform independent code in main. Others may want a different style. **IMPORTANT** NONE of this will work unless one more packaging mistake is corrected: vmware-user-suid-wrapper is currently not installed suid root. To do its work properly it must be installed suid root. ** Attachment added: "Patch to add vmblock load code to vmware-user-suid-wrapper" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/23087446/wdc-patch.diff -- vmware-user-suid-wrapper does not properly activate vmblock https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/332323 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
