Binary package hint: open-vm-tools
I have some amd64 machines running on VMWare ESX and the vmware-guestd terminates itself after a few seconds. The kernel modules load fine and while vmware-guestd is running the Infrastrcture Client shows that the VMWare Tools are running.
I used the latest version from -proposed:
# apt-cache policy open-vm-tools

The upstream version of open-vm-tools in Intrepid FTBFS because it has format string warnings and is built with -Werror. The Ubuntu “fix”, ubuntu_toolchain_FTBFS.dpatch, introduced many regressions relative to upstream by adding incorrect "%s\n" format strings. These spurious newlines cause vmware-guestd to crash on startup.
The format string warnings have been fixed (correctly) upstream, so this patch is not needed in Jaunty and has already been removed. The attached debdiff (comment 22) fixes ubuntu_toolchain_FTBFS.dpatch for Intrepid.
This debdiff also fixes bug #289921 “network interface does not come up after installing open-vm-tools” and bug #302226 “vmware-user doesn't autostart”, and descriptions of the corresponding patches are posted there.
The patched package has been in my PPA for four weeks, and confirmed working by three other users. Risk of regression is low, especially given that these three bugs essentially prevent the current Intrepid package from being useful in any way.
