Recent versions of open-vm-tools include a new script, ``vmware-xdg-detect-de`` that is necessary to run the ``vmware-user-suid-wrapper`` application. It is included in the source tarball, but not in the merged installation. The script should be installed on the PATH. The ``vmware-xdg-detect-de`` script can be found in the ``scripts/common`` directory in the source tarball. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge >=open-vm-tools-0.0.20101219.339835 2. run vmware-user-suid-wrapper Actual Results: Executing ``vmware-user-suid-wrapper`` fails with the following printed to stderr:: sh: vmware-xdg-detect-de: No such file or directory Expected Results: The userspace utility should launch.
Created attachment 260826 [details, diff] Patch to ebuild to install vmware-xdg-detect-de script I believe a ``dobin`` command is all that's necessary to install the missing script. Here's the patch I used to add it. I have applied this patch and bumped the ebuild revision to ``-r1`` in my (dustin) overlay, which is available through layman.
fixed in the portage. thanks.
