Details
Description:
It is necessary to start vmware-user-suid-wrapper, as this enables a number of crucial features of open-vm-tools including auto-resizing of X and drag-and-drop. A number of users have encountered this problem (for instance, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=137901). In the forums (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1076018), Da_Coynul discovered a workaround which addresses this problem. By installing the attached vmware-user.desktop to /etc/xdg/autostart, vmware-user-suid-wrapper is started automatically on login. The package should be updated to incorporate this workaround, or in an equivalent but more permanent/robust manner. Additional info: * open-vm-tools 2012.03.13-1 * Attached vmware-user.desktop |
This task depends upon
maybe have a look into bug report 28945 to do that.
