[Bug 188391] Re: vmware tools dont compile with hardy

[Hanno Stock (hefe_bia)]

Changing to Invalid, because this cannot be dealt with in Ubuntu. Upstream is aware of the problem.
VMWare tools cannot be installed on systems running 2.6.24 kernel.

In the meantime you can try the vmware-any-any patches.

http://vmware-forum.de/viewtopic.php?p=19895 (About vmware-any-any)
Warning: This includes some command line hackery and is not supported by Ubuntu or VMWare.

A workaround is to install the open-vm-tools from the Hardy repositories instead of the tools from VMware.
(They work besides some minor issues, which will hopefully be fixed until the release.)

** Changed in: linux-meta (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
