Open-vm-tools-modules and kernel rebuild
Initially when I installed open-vm-tools-modules the wiki instructed me to rebuild the kernel to include the VMWare drivers.
Today there was an upgrade to open-vm-tools-modules and I was wondering if a kernel rebuild is required every time this package is upgraded.
I would just like to note that I am having the same problem in VMware Fusion 4. But this is an update. I read what you said about having a problem doing pacman -S open-vm-tools-modules: when I enter the command it succeeds. But despite this, when I do sudo /etc/rc.d/open-vm-tools start it still fails, but it doesn't print anything about the vmblock. Doing strace produces some output that I really can't understand at all.
You should see my post here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 0#p1048450

[SOLVED] open-vm-tools-modules out of date
open-vm-tools-modules has been flagged out-of-date today because it requires < 3.3 kernel.
This is stopping me from updating to 3.3-ARCH.
Can anyone advise what it would take to update this? If it's complicated, how long would it normally be before it is updated by the maintainer?
Thanks in advance.

Last edited by jr0 (2012-04-08 21:53:51)The NEWS file in ~/abs/open-vm-tools-modules/.../src/ said
Targets (1): open-vm-tools-modules-2012.03.13-1
open-vm-tools 2012.03.13 changes:
* Updates for newer Linux kernel releases (3.3).
so I thought it was worth risking removing the requires <3.3 from PKGBUILD, like so (I didn't mean to comment the second "depends=" line):
package() {
_kernver=`pacman -Q linux | cut -d . -f 2 | cut -f 1 -d -`
# depends=("linux>=3.${_kernver}" "linux<3.`expr ${_kernver} + 1`")
# depends=("linux>=3.${_kernver}")
KERNEL_VERSION=`cat /lib/modules/extramodules-3.${_kernver}-ARCH/version`
msg "Kernel = $KERNEL_VERSION"
Seems to be working, so marking SOLVED. -

Open-vm-tools/official vmware tools not installing.
I'm trying to install the latest offical vmware tools (16/9/2013) and open-vm-tools but both seem to always fail. I tried some of the patches listed on the wiki, but nothing got me anywhere.

Any idea what I should be doing?I have the same problem on ESXI 5.5 for over a month now, tried the patches, tried the LTS kernel which others say results in an immediate result without patches, nothing seems to work and nobody seems to be able to offer a solution.
Did you make any progress ??

I have installed Arch linux inside VMware. ArchLinux image (archlinux-2011.08.19-core-i686.iso) is downloaded from net.
This image has Linux kernel 3.0 inside it. With this, am trying to install open-vm-tools.
pacman -S open-vm-tools with this command..
Resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts..
Targets (8): libdnet-1.12-6 libsigc++-2.2.10-1 libxss-1.2.1-1 linux-3.2.1-1
open-vm-tools-modules-2011.12.20-3 scrnsaverproto-12.1-1
uriparser-0.7.5-1 open-vm-toos-2011.12.20-1
As you see above -depdency lists linux 3.2.1-1. This is due to the fact that open-vm-tools-modules-2011.12.20-3 has a dependency on linux >=3.2
I am new to Linux. I dont understand this. Where i can get the open-vm-tools package that can run with Linux 3.0 kernel image?
any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks for your quick reply.
I am trying this for the last one week. I updated all my packages before I started with this exercise.
I try to do that now once again. Now the list includes "linux 3.2" also? I want my base image as Linux 3.0 kernel. On top of this, i would like to install open-vm-tools.
how do i get the open-vm-tools package specifically for linux 3.0? -
[SOLVED] How to really install Open VMware Tools?
I tried the steps shown in the wiki, but it's not working at all. I have Arch+KDE installed in VMware Player 5. The steps I followed for the installation of VMware tools are:
pacman -S open-vm-tools open-vm-tools-modules
systemctl enable vmtoolsd.service
But after a reboot the Tools doesn't seem to work properly, even If I try to restart with the tools enabled the systems hangs on the process.
Some help will be really appreciated.
Cheers.
Last edited by AurosGamma (2012-12-02 05:09:42)There are some known issues regarding the current versions of the open VMWare tools, check this topic.
The steps you took provide minimal functionality, at least keeping the clock in sync with the host and handling screen resizing. For copy and paste and shared folders, the wiki has some additional info.
The system seems to hang on reboot, but proceeds normally after about 90 seconds (it's how long systemd waits before forcefully killing the vmtoolsd daemon).
Some tips to work around current issues:

Lightroom 4 crashes when trying to open the slideshow module. I spent over three hours with both Adobe and Apple tech support and we know it is a permission issue but have not been able to get it solved. It started with the last upgrade to 10.8
Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -Rh $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
The first step should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word, all lower case, with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
▹ Restart
from the menu bar. -
Firefox no longer opens PDF files. Explorer works OK. I have checked the Applications window in the Tools/Options and it says I am using PDF-xChange viewer....It just does not do anything. I get the message in the Download Error window which says...."could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder. Is the same error which I get when I attempt to open a PDF file on a webpage using the Firefox browser....Explorer works OK so I am now forced to Explorer to read PDF files via a browser.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After removing a old copy of PDF-xChange Viewer and updating to the last versionThe error message suggests that the file (pdf) that you're trying to download cannot be saved in the folder Firefox tries to save it in.
This can be due to several things - it could be a non-existing folder (could be a problem with the updated application), the hard drive could be too full to store the file (less likely if you can generally surf the net without error messages) or it could contain an error.
To complicate things a little further, it seems to me that you have (at least) 3 different PDF-handling plugins in Firefox from different programs:
PDF-XChange Viewer Netscape Gecko Plugin
Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape "9.3.2"
Zeon PDF Plugin For Mozilla
This shouldn't matter too much, thou, as it will most likely simply use either the latest installed or the first one it finds when looking up associations for files of type 'pdf'.
First, in Tools > Options... > tab General > section File download, select "Save files in" and Browse your way to a (non-writeprotected!) folder on a drive where you're certain there is enough free space - like the Desktop folder to make the files end up on your Windows desktop.
Second, under Applications as you mention yourself, find all document types related to PDF files, and set these to one of the programs. Check the entire list to be sure there isn't one hiding under one of the other programs' document types (Adobe Acrobat document, PDF X-Change and Zeon).
Restart Firefox, and try opening a PDF again.
If it fails once more, try changing the documents again to one of the other programs, like "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)".
If it STILL fails, change it to simply "Save file". Then you can simply browse your way to the download folder with Windows Explorer, and doubleclick the PDF file to see which program actually handles PDF files as default on the machine, and if it works properly.
If Firefox flatly refuses to save the PDF files in a folder which you're certain both exist and has space for the file, some (probably security related) program is most likely interfering with Firefox, preventing it in storing PDF files on the system. -
HELP! Downloaded LR5 and when open it shows an error message saying error while trying to change from modules and I can not even import photos. Am I doing something wrong?
I have the same problem, and the solutions in Error changing modules | Lightroom do not work. Even uninstalling and reinstalling a new copy did not solve the problem. As anyone got an idea what other lingering files might be causing the problem?

I am having trouble getting the kernel to recognize the raid drivers which my card uses. The install of arch is fresh. The raid card is a HighPoint RocketRaid 2300. I browsed the AUR and found a PKGBUILD for an older version of the driver written by LoneWolf. I updated it to fit my needs.
The PKGBUILD I have is:
# Contributor: LoneWolf --Edited by Vitechy
pkgname=rr231x-0x
pkgver=2.1
pkgrel=3
pkgdesc="Kernel modules for Highpoint RocketRAID 230x and 231x SATA cards"

# Note : pkgname should be rr231_0x , but using this name gives problems with the 2007.08 base installer --Not sure what this means so ill leave it alone.
build() {
mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/lib/modules/${_kernver}/kernel/drivers/scsi/
cd $startdir/src/rr231x_0x-linux-src-v2.5/product/rr2310pm/linux/
make || return 1

cp $startdir/src/rr231x_0x-linux-src-v2.5/README $startdir/pkg/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/
The post install script I used is:
# This is a default template for a post-install scriptlet. You can
# remove any functions you don't need (and this header).
# arg 1: the new package version
pre_install() {
/bin/true
# arg 1: the new package version
post_install() {
KERNEL_VERSION='2.6.35-ARCH'
depmod -v $KERNEL_VERSION > /dev/null 2>&1
# arg 1: the new package version
# arg 2: the old package version
post_upgrade() {
KERNEL_VERSION='2.6.35-ARCH'
depmod -v $KERNEL_VERSION > /dev/null 2>&1
# arg 1: the old package version
post_remove() {
KERNEL_VERSION='2.6.35-ARCH'
depmod -v $KERNEL_VERSION > /dev/null 2>&1
op=$1
shift
$op $*
Executing the PKGBUILD with the makepkg command creates a .pkg.tar.gz file. Installing the package with pacman -U nameofpackage.pkg.tar.gz reports that the package has been installed. Running pacman -Qs reports that there is a package, local/rr231x-0x on the system.
The raid card is still not functioning. Instead of seeing a raid array I see the individual HDD's which are connected to the raid card which is something I could see even before running makepkg. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I have rebooted the PC but that has done nothing. Also running modprobe rr230x_0x or modprobe rr2310_00 returns FATAL:Module rr230x_0x/rr2310_00 not found.
Any help is appreciated.

PS. The md5sums in the PKGBUILD example I provided above is not the same one as the one in the PKGBUILD which is actually compiling on the server. The PKGBUILD above I recited from memory; however, I do not remember the actual number which I obtained by running makepkg -g. I will update as soon as I have access to the server again. I have updated the PKGBUILD above to exactly match the one im using on the server.
Last edited by Vitechy (2010-09-21 02:00:13)Oh, wow I didn't even notice that.
Modprobe was able to load the modules now; however, now I see the HDD's and the raid array. In other words running fdisk -l shows all of the HDD's connected to the raid card, /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc as well as the raid array /dev/sdd.
The raid array has not finished building, so is it a possibility that that is why it is showing up. I will post updates when the raid array has finished initializing.

can't open iphoto in airbook. Asking to upgrade then says must rebuild library then warning about missing files. When click rebuild all I get is continued- waiting for iphoto library- and, never rebuilds
-1.The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto.
Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete.
2. iPhoto is unable to open this library.
The library has issues that require rebuilding to correct
3. Warning
Would you like to rebuild the library "iPhoto Library"?
The library "iPhoto Library" is missing required database files and must be rebuilt before it can be opened.
4. Waiting for iPhoto library
iPhoto will open as soon as the iPhoto library is available
Time Machine might be backing it up -
Every time since I upgraded this morning, attempting to open Aperture causes a crash. I upgraded to Aperture 3.4 this morning, and now it will not open at all! It crashes every time, and tries rebuilding the library and repairing most times. The Library open fine in Iphoto
If you do not have the original install DVDs, use the Aperture Trial installer instead:
Try if this download link for the trial version still works: if yes, you can unlock it with your serial number:

Why does Elements 12 crash as soon as I open Type tool? Get message "An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred. Photoshop Elements will now exit." Using Mac. No imported fonts
Thank you, Barbara. All fonts seemed fine, no empty or duplicates. When I went back to Elements and tried again, it did not crash! After months of not being able to use type tool,,, not sure why it worked, but it did. Thanks again! I appreciate the time you took to answer my question.
