Hi Hans, Chris, thanks for taking the time to file these bug reports and help us make Ubuntu better.
Agreed 100%, this is a set of tools that are infinitely usable without toolbox. In fact, open-vm-toolbox already does depend on open-vm-tools. I think the solution may be to drop open-vm-toolbox to a Suggests. Marking status as Confirmed, Importance as Wishlist. One thing, we probably won't be able to update the stable releases of Ubuntu with this, as some people may be depending on the current behavior, but we can certainly do it for Oneiric and later. ** Changed in: open-vm-tools (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: open-vm-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to open-vm-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/604998 Title: open-vm-tools (CLI tools) recommends gui tools To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/604998/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
