Aw, heck, probably not. All I use VirtualBox for is once in a while tinkering with old Windows installations, like Windows XP and Windows 98. It probably doesn't need this legacy vmxnet module.
The builds went fine with 4.13.0-45-generic and less. I noticed you were building for 4.4. This was a problem with the DKMS build for 4.15.0-24-generic. I think that's the latest installed for linux-image- generic-hwe-16.04, where previously it was something in the 4.13 series (aptitude shows 4.13.0.45.64). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1779793 Title: open VM tools DKMS fails to build mostly due to multiply defined preprocessor symbols [error: implicit declaration of function 'init_timer_deferrable'] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1779793/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
