    First thing, let me say thanks for all your work creating a ESX management solution for linux.

    On to the issue at hand, when I start vEMan and connect to a server, the list of VMs comes up, but the curser flashes momentarilly and then leaves a black dot that persists on top of every window until I kill vEMan. The program then locks up at that point and the only option is to kill it.

    I am running vEMan on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
    ESXi server is VMware ESXi 5.5.0 build-1331820
    I just installed the latest available versions of the SDK/Perl/CLI tools today.
    vSphere SDK for Perl version: 5.1.0
    Script 'vmware-cmd' version: 5.1.0

    ~/.vEMan/server.ip/progress.tmp contains:

    60
    100
    50

    vEMann.log is here:

    Screenshot of the wierd black dot (Circled in red):

    Sorry for all the greeking of the hostnames, ips, and such....it's a company server.

    Thanks for any help you can provide. I so look forward to taking the windows machine we vnc into to manage ESXi and tossing it off of the roof! (I'll send a video if we get this working!)

    Hi Ryan

    thanks for trying vEMan ;)

    Ok to be honest vEMan is totally untested on Ubuntu 14.04 yet but well let's see what may happen to you nevertheless.

    The first which comes in my mind is a problem within yad. Please tell me which yad version you're using and how you installed it:

    yad --version
    Installed with: package manager, self-compiled, ppa (which one),...

    The other thing you should do is to start vEMan at the CLI by executing ./vEMan. There will be output here, too which differs from the logfile. Would be nice to have it, too.

    Thx
    Thomas
