The problem seems to be that vmtoolsd is trying to load .so plugins but the plugin-path that is given to it contains other directories. So, it simply skips them and does not load any plugins (one of he plugins does the time synchronization) So, try the following : cd /etc/vmware/plugins cp vmusr/* vmsvc/* . /etc/init.d/open-vm-tools restart A more proper solution would may be to change the argumets of vmtoolsd in /etc/init.d/open-vm-tools and issue two times the --plugin-path option for the two individual directories (if possible of course). Or, simply move all the plugins to /etc/vmware/plugins/ and remove the vmsvc and vmusr directories. Anyway, that should be fixed somehow in the next releases. thanks, vasilis -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages open-vm-tools depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.26.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.9-25 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.8.8-2 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.6.0-4 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.9-5 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.1-4 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.22.0-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.16.6-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 2:1.0.5-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libicu42 4.2.1-3 International Components for Unico ii libpango1.0-0 1.26.0-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libsm6 2:1.1.1-1 X11 Session Management library ii libstdc++6 4.4.1-4 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.2.2-1 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxinerama1 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxrandr2 2:1.3.0-2 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxss1 1:1.1.3-1 X11 Screen Saver extension library ii libxtst6 2:1.0.3-1 X11 Testing -- Resource extension ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-15 compression library - runtime Versions of packages open-vm-tools recommends: ii ethtool 6+20090323-2 display or change Ethernet device ii open-vm-source 2009.08.24-187411-1 Source for VMware guest systems dr ii zerofree 1.0.1-1 zero free blocks from ext2/3 file- Versions of packages open-vm-tools suggests: ii open-vm-toolbox 2009.08.24-187411-1 tools and components for VMware gu -- no debconf information -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages open-vm-tools depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.26.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.9-25 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.8.8-2 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.6.0-4 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.9-5 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.1-4 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.22.0-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.16.6-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 2:1.0.5-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libicu42 4.2.1-3 International Components for Unico ii libpango1.0-0 1.26.0-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libsm6 2:1.1.1-1 X11 Session Management library ii libstdc++6 4.4.1-4 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.2.2-1 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxinerama1 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxrandr2 2:1.3.0-2 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxss1 1:1.1.3-1 X11 Screen Saver extension library ii libxtst6 2:1.0.3-1 X11 Testing -- Resource extension ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-15 compression library - runtime Versions of packages open-vm-tools recommends: ii ethtool 6+20090323-2 display or change Ethernet device ii open-vm-source 2009.08.24-187411-1 Source for VMware guest systems dr ii zerofree 1.0.1-1 zero free blocks from ext2/3 file- Versions of packages open-vm-tools suggests: ii open-vm-toolbox 2009.08.24-187411-1 tools and components for VMware gu -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
