On Ubuntu Desktop, we want to install automatically at installation time open-vm-tools-desktop and its dependencies to provide an improved user experience on first boot after installation of the guest, and provide an easy way to install the drivers after installation if they have not been installed at installation time.

[Rationale]
On Ubuntu Desktop, we want to install automatically at installation time open-vm-tools-desktop and its dependencies to provide an improved user experience on first boot after installation of the guest. This method also provides an easy way to install the drivers after installation if they have not been installed at installation time.
It is achieved adding an XB-Modaliases field to the control file for the record 'open-vm-tools-desktop' so ubuntu-drivers can detect the packages to install when running in a VMware guest and adding open-vm-tools to the list of whitelisted packages in ubuntu-drivers
[Impact]
The change adds an additional field to the control file used by ubuntu-drivers to detect the drivers to install automatically. In the worst case scenario either the field is not added or the detection by ubuntu-drivers fails. In both cases the package o-v-t-desktop is not installed and can still be installed manually.
[Test Case]
With the patched versions of ubuntu-drivers and open-vm-tools
1. Boot a daily ISO of Ubuntu Desktop to the live session in a VMware Guest (with VMWare Workstation for example)
2. Open a terminal, make sure the package cache is up to date with the version of o-v-t containing the Modaliases field
3. Run the command:
$ ubuntu-drivers list
and verify that o-v-t-desktop is in the output
4. Run the command:
$ ubuntu-drivers devices
And verify that the output shows the details of the sys entry for this device
5. Run the command:
$ sudo ubuntu-drivers install
and verify that the package o-v-t-desktop is installed

[Regression Potential]
Very Low. Package may fail to build if for some reason dh-gencontrol fails. Otherwise, given that the package is not already installed automatically, if automated installation doesn't work then we're still in the same situation than today.
On ubuntu-drivers side, the change just adds o-v-t-desktop to the whitelist using an existing mechanism so other than a typo there is no risk of regression.

InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.10 "Utopic Unicorn" - Alpha amd64 (20140520)
SourcePackage: open-vm-tools
UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to disco on 2018-03-24 (349 days ago) |
[Rationale]
On Ubuntu Desktop, we want to install automatically at installation time open-vm-tools-desktop and its dependencies to provide an improved user experience on first boot after installation of the guest. This method also provides an easy way to install the drivers after installation if they have not been installed at installation time.
It is achieved adding an XB-Modaliases field to the control file for the record 'open-vm-tools-desktop' so ubuntu-drivers can detect the packages to install when running in a VMware guest and adding open-vm-tools to the list of whitelisted packages in ubuntu-drivers
[Impact]
The change adds an additional field to the control file used by ubuntu-drivers to detect the drivers to install automatically. In the worst case scenario either the field is not added or the detection by ubuntu-drivers fails. In both cases the package o-v-t-desktop is not installed and can still be installed manually.
Note: open-vm-tools-desktop is in universe and for the final feature (>=Disco) it must be in main (already promoted). But for the SRU context (as this was accepted by Debian in 10.3.5-8) in our regular MRE we only cover the open-vm-tools change to "provide" the modalias. We do not change the ubuntu-drivers or ubiquity to depend on it - so no need to promote it on the SRU.
[Test Case]
With the patched versions of ubuntu-drivers and open-vm-tools
1. Boot a daily ISO of Ubuntu Desktop to the live session in a VMware Guest (with VMWare Workstation for example)
2. Open a terminal, make sure the package cache is up to date with the version of o-v-t containing the Modaliases field
3. Run the command:
$ ubuntu-drivers list
and verify that o-v-t-desktop is in the output
4. Run the command:
$ ubuntu-drivers devices
And verify that the output shows the details of the sys entry for this device
5. Run the command:
$ sudo ubuntu-drivers install
and verify that the package o-v-t-desktop is installed
[Regression Potential]
Very Low. Package may fail to build if for some reason dh-gencontrol fails. Otherwise, given that the package is not already installed automatically, if automated installation doesn't work then we're still in the same situation than today.
On ubuntu-drivers side, the change just adds o-v-t-desktop to the whitelist using an existing mechanism so other than a typo there is no risk of regression.
