@Oliver, to speak to your original question above, "Yes, our in-house compilation is a 'build of just the open-vmware-tools source without Debian package scripts'" That build doesn't appear to have that PrivateTmp in the unit file.
So far, testing looks good with 'PrivateTmp=False'. I'm going to run one more test through for verification before confirming this resolves the issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1758428 Title: Subprocesses of StartProgramInGuest fail when creating temporary files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1758428/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
