--- Comment #5 from Dominique Leuenberger
I run VMware server 2 on a openSUSE 11.1 x86_64 host.
When trying to run vmtoolsd in a 11.4 x86_64 guest it fails, in /var/log/messages I find this error line:
Jun 21 19:11:40 hugo vmsvc[2609]: [ warning] [vmtoolsd] The vmsvc service needs to run inside a virtual machine.
So apparently the guest doesn't recognize the VM as a virtual machine.
That's only few surprising though: you run a old version of openSUSE on 'new' hardware.. in no way could the old open-vm-tools know about this (the way out would be either the new open-vm-tools as recommended above or using the vendor shipped version of the vmware-tools) -- 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.
