https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=848505 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=848505#c0 Summary: vmtoolsd daemon not started in openSUSE 13.1 RC1 and later Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 13.1 Version: RC 1 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SUSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: gorgoglione@gmail.com QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/32.0.1685.0 Safari/537.36 In in openSUSE 12.3 and earlier, after logging-in into KDE, the open-vm-tools related vmtoolsd daemon was started by the vmware-user-suid-wrapper command, launched by the vmware-user-autostart-wrapper script. In openSUSE 13.1 RC1 and later the files vmware-user-suid-wrapper and vmware-user-autostart-wrapper are missing and vmtoolsd daemon is not started, hence all VMware facilities in guest virtual machines are not activated. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install OpenSUSE 13.1 RC1 and later in a VMware virtual machine 2. Check that open-vm-tools package was installed automatically as required 3. Check that /usr/bin/vmware-user-suid-wrapper and /usr/bin/vmware-user-autostart-wrapper are missing Actual Results: vmtoolsd daemon is not running and VMware facilities in guest virtual machines (e.g. host-guest cut & paste and dynamic window resize are not available) Expected Results: vmtoolsd daemon should be started automatically after login. -- 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.

The 'FATAL' is 'only' vmsync, which is no longer needed on modern kernels (the init script should no longer try to load it).
the suid-wrapper stuff lives in open-vm-tools-gui packages... is this installed on your machine?
I very much assume this to be missing.. there was a re-organisation on the Xorg packages and as a result, we no longer supplement the right things...
As a quick check: does installing open-vm-tools-gui solve your initial issue?
Yes indeed: installing open-vm-tools-gui solves the issue. I was confused by the fact that open-vm-tools-gui was not installed automatically as in previous openSUSE releases.
