Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 13.1 Version: RC 2 Platform: VMWare OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: carlos.e.r@opensuse.org QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- 13.1 RC2 - guest tools for vmware lack kernel modules. Copy paste between host-guest in vmware player does not work The guest tools do not work, it is not possible to copy-paste between host and guest, or guest and host, using the open guest tools supplied by openSUSE. It is also impossible to resize the vmplayer window by pulling on the corner with the mouse. The kernel modules are missing. installed: Eleanor4:~ # rpm -qa | grep -i vm xf86-video-vmware-13.0.1-2.1.2.x86_64 yast2-vm-3.0.2-2.1.4.x86_64 libvmtools0-9.2.3-3.1.2.x86_64 libXxf86vm1-1.1.3-2.1.2.x86_64 udevmountd-0.81.5-2.1.x86_64 xf86-input-vmmouse-13.0.0-5.1.2.x86_64 open-vm-tools-9.2.3-3.1.2.x86_64 libLLVM-3.3-6.4.1.x86_64 lvm2-2.02.98-0.28.1.5.x86_64 Eleanor4:~ # Eleanor4:~ # rcvmtoolsd status Checking for service vmware-guestd running vmtoolsd.service - LSB: VMWare Tools Daemon Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/vmtoolsd) Active: active (running) since Thu 2013-10-31 22:43:37 CET; 1h 53min ago Process: 4420 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/vmtoolsd start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) CGroup: /system.slice/vmtoolsd.service ├─4455 /usr/bin/vmware-vmblock-fuse -o subtype=vmware-vmblock,default_permissions,allow_other /var/run/vmblock-fuse... └─4470 /usr/bin/vmtoolsd Oct 31 19:08:24 Eleanor4 vmtoolsd[4420]: Starting vmtoolsd FATAL: Module vmsync not found. <<<****** Oct 31 19:08:24 Eleanor4 vmsvc[4470]: [ warning] [GLib-GObject] Attempt to add property ToolsCoreService::tcs-app-ctx a...ialised Oct 31 19:08:24 Eleanor4 vmsvc[4470]: [ warning] [GLib-GObject] Attempt to add property ToolsCoreService::tcs-prop-thre...ialised Oct 31 22:43:37 Eleanor4 vmtoolsd[4420]: ..done Oct 31 22:43:37 Eleanor4 systemd[1]: Started LSB: VMWare Tools Daemon.

PS: I'm not a maintainer and I already updated everything to 13.1, but the obvious answer lacks some more information, so wanted to push this bug a little more forward ;-) -- 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.

This bug is really about non working features such as copy-paste between guest and host, and resizing of the guest windows; I thought the fault was the missing vmware-guest-kmp-desktop package (which is the subject of bug 834369). Instead, this bug was caused by the missing open-vm-tools-gui package in RC1, and which appeared in RC2 again. -- 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.
