Thanks, I already found out this was the case. I was a bit confused because the default did not work right away. On a clean system
apt-get install --no-install-recommends linux-headers-`uname -r` open- vm-dkms open-vm-tools does the trick and everything seems to work just fine - the linux- headers were needed because of #509865. I am very happy, this is very useful for adoption of Ubuntu. -- Unnecessary dependencies in open-vm-tools https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/418527 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
