  • Comment: vmhgfs fails with 3.9 kernel

    Stephen, I was able to build open-vm-tools dkms on ubuntu with: open-vm-tools-2013.04.16-1098359 https://sourceforge.net/projects/open-vm-tools/files/open-vm-tools/Development%20Snapshots/ I had to remove 0002-procps.patch and 0005-kernel-38-fixes.patch from the ubuntu package to get an updated debian package to build. Hope that helps!

  • vmhgfs fails with 3.9 kernel

    With 3.9 kernel VMCI and VSOCK are in the upstream kernel (no longer part of open-vm-tools). As part of the upstream conversion the VMCI function names changed, breaking vmhgfs. Using kernel modules from open-vm-tools-9.2.3-1031360 Attempts to load vmhgfs module fail with [ 13.880701] vmhgfs: Unknown symbol VMCIDatagram_Send (err 0) [ 13.880752] vmhgfs: Unknown symbol...

  • Comment: Perforce versioning system fails when running sync command o

    David, I have reproduced this issue and will apply your diffs and yes, probably refactor since HgfsDelete does the same thing. Thanks. Steve.

  • Comment: Perforce versioning system fails when running sync command o

    Hi David, I currently work on the HGFS file system, and just got notice of this from dtor. Thanks for looking into this, I will take a look at the modified file and run it through some checks and tests. I recently ran some perforce sync in my Ubuntu VM running on my Windows 7 host. I didn't see any issues of note, but I will retry and pay close attention.

  • Comment: Feature Request - allow building directly into kernel

    To have modules built into the kernel the kernel sources need to be patched. Open-vm-tools project will not be providing kernel patches, however newer kernels already have most of the VMware drivers available.

  • Feature Request - allow building directly into kernel

    Hello, I don't run my servers with modules enabled, so I cannot install any flavor of vmware tools, because they both require modules enabled in the server kernel. Why? Is it not possible to provide ability to install/run open-vm-tools without enabling modules in the kernel? Thanks.
