The proper way to check for installation of open-vm-tools and open-vm-tools-desktop is to use apt commands in the guest OS, and you've already found a command to check if the open-vm-tools service is running. The installation and status of the tools are managed by the guest's package manager from the distribution's repository (most Linux distros have picked up open-vm-tools).
The GUI in Workstation Player does not reflect whether open-vm-tools is installed - only if the legacy VMware Tools are installed for older Linux version that don't support open-vm-tools. The option to do anything with VMWare Tools from the Player menu itself under manage is greyed out. I've been researching and troubleshooting this, but can't see to get allot of info.Īm I missing something very obvious? (Could very well be).Īny input/feedback would be very appreciated.You need to install both open-vm-tools and open-vm-tools-desktop to get drag/drop to work: sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools open-vm-tools-desktop What am I missing here? Is it even possible? This looks like something that should be pretty straightforward.
That's why I'm turning to you fine people here. configure command just end with: " configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH" configure command just ends with: " configure: error: mspack >= 0308alpha is required." I've tried downloading the latest tar.gz package from the official Github repository and installing it that way. vSphere isn't yet showing the latest 12.1.0 version, so I've been manually handling this one.Īlthough I mostly know my way around Linux (Ubuntu) CLI, I just can't figure out how to install the latest open-vm-tools 12.1.0 on 18.04.6 and 22.04.1 LTS.Īpt-get update/upgrade just gets me 11.6 and 11.4 respectively, from the build in repositories. The last 2 days I've been busy updating the VMWare Tools on the guests, since the latest discovered and fixed vulnerability. We do have a handful of Linux servers running on our ESXi cluster.
