A more useful example based on the comment in open-vm- tools/lib/include/vmware/tools/log.h.
** Patch added: "bionic_gnome-themes-standard_3.22.3-3ubuntu2.debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1748122/+attachment/5051185/+files/bionic_gnome-themes-standard_3.22.3-3ubuntu2.debdiff ** Description changed: + [Impact] + + * The default tools.conf template shipped with the Ubuntu package is + useless - it gets cleared on the first run as it contains an + unrecognized content. + + [Test Case] + + * Install open-vm-tools. + * Check contents of /etc/vmware-tools/tools.conf. + * Start vmtoolsd service e.g. by systemctl start open-vm-tools. + * Check tools.conf contents again. + + Expected result: + Config is read an left untouched. + + Actual result: + Config file is cleared. + + [Regression Potential] + + * If any of the parameters in the template is set to a non-default value + the behaviour of vmtoolsd may change slightly (e.g. different log verbosity, log target - file vs. syslog). + + [Other Info] + + * Original bug description: + The tools.conf template shipped with Ubuntu (debian/local/tools.conf) is incorrect. It's current contents: bindir = "/usr/bin" do not mean anything to open-vm-tools - it's not interpreted in any way by vmtoolsd. Moreover, on the first launch this content is cleared by a piece of code doing a "config upgrade". I believe replacing it with a more meaningful content is necessary. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1748122 Title: incorrect tools.conf template is shipped with Ubuntu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1748122/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
