Install openSUSE 12.3 RC1 x86 into VMware Workstation 9 2. Boot the OS 3. Do "modprobe vmblock" form a root shell Actual Results: 1. The vmblock driver fails to load 2. The /etc/xdg/autostart/vmware-user-autostart.desktop starts vmware-user-autostart-wrapper which in turn checks for the presence of /proc/fs/vmblock/dev before starting vmware-user-suid-wrapper 3. The proc file does not exist so the VMware Tools user deamon is not started 4. The VMware Tools services (host-guest cut & paste, resizable window, etc.) are not available. Expected Results: 1. The vmblock driver should be updated to the latest version for kernel 3.7, solving the missing symbol issue. 2. The start of vmware-user-suid-wrapper should be decoupled from the presence of /proc/fs/vmblock/dev since vmblock driver is not required to start all the other user services provided by 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.
