Description:
The open-vm-tools package includes an old network script from 2010 that does not work with systemd. Compare https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/blob/e0a7b4e98bd6d6af06d31212dfdc82610d37e4d3/open-vm-tools/scripts/linux/network to https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/plain/trunk/network-script?h=packages/open-vm-tools Lone_Wolf (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1745433#p1745433) confirmed that this is most likely a bug: > Looking at the PKGBUILD and the used scripts suggest sometime in the past arch devs customized the upstream network script to work better (added netctl support) on arch linux. After that happened upstream changed https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools … ux/network , but arch devs missed that. Additional info: * package version(s) open-vm-tools 6:10.1.10-2 |
