Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
I think the underlying cause is that you're using the Quantal Hardware Enablement Stack, which supplies a 3.5 kernel, whereas 12.04 originally shipped with a 3.2 kernel. Details of this are at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack I'm not sure what the situation is around DKMS modules in the archive and the newer kernel. I've asked for someone to get back to this bug on this issue. In the meantime, if you are able to use the original kernel, then that may work for you. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1181135 Title: open-vm-dkms 2011.12.20-562307-0ubuntu1: open-vm-tools kernel module failed to build To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1181135/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
