Re: Open vm tools for Ubuntu 8.0.4

[Praki P. <pra...@gm...>]

Adar,

Thanks for your response. The version of ESX I am running doesn't support
Ubuntu 8.0.4 but I have been running it for a few months now and the only
problem I have run into is the display resolution.

I will look into ESX update release. Thank you.
