We published a open-vm-tools 8.8.1 build in Virtualization:VMware repositories (for up to openSUSE 12.1, currently fails build for Factory).
Could you please verify if the problem is solved in this package?
For me it still does not work out of the box, but when forced it does: rmuntean-suse:~ # modprobe vmhgfs FATAL: Error inserting vmhgfs (/lib/modules/3.1.9-1.4-desktop/updates/vmhgfs.ko): Invalid argument rmuntean-suse:~ # modprobe --force-modversion vmhgfs rmuntean-suse:~ # lsmod | grep hgfs vmhgfs 72577 0 vmci 91371 1 vmhgfs However, I would like this to work without the safety belt off. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
