>From the upstream bug: Can someone who has seen this and make this happen obtain tools logs with the HGFS server logging enabled? How to set up the logging is as follows:
Create the following file: /etc/vmware-tools/tools.conf Edit it with the following details (modified to your file location of choice): [logging] log = true vmtoolsd.level = debug vmtoolsd.handler = file vmtoolsd.data = c:/tmp/vmtoolsd.${USER}.log vmsvc.level = debug vmsvc.handler = file vmsvc.data = c:/tmp/vmsvc.log dndcp.level = debug dndcp.handler = file dndcp.data = c:/tmp/dndcp.log vmusr.level = debug vmusr.handler = file vmusr.data = c:/tmp/vmusr.${USER}.log hgfsServer.level = debug hgfsd.level = debug No need to restart any of the tools services, just check that the files start to appear. Do whatever steps are required to enable the crash to occur. Update the tools log files here. ** Bug watch added: github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/issues #284 https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/issues/284 ** Also affects: open-vm-tools via https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/issues/284 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1791220 Title: increased crash rate since 10.3 upgrade is available To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/open-vm-tools/+bug/1791220/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
