First time installing open-vm-tools. Installed, but got the following error when starting vmware-tools: # /etc/init.d/vmware-tools start * /tmp/VMwareDnD: correcting mode * /proc/fs/vmblock/mountPoint: creating directory * checkpath: mkdir: No such file or directory * Mounting vmblock ... mount: mount point /proc/fs/vmblock/mountPoint does not exist [ !! ] * Starting vmware-tools ... [ ok ] Asked on the gentoo users list and was told that open-vm-tools requires fuse, and confirmed that the default installed installed it with -fuse USE flag set. Added fuse USE flag for app-emulation/open-vm-tools to package.use, reinstalled open-vm-tools, which this time pulled in sys-fs/fuse, and problem is solved. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install open-vm-tools 2. Note above error when starting vmware-tools 3. Note eix open-vm-tools shows that it was installed with -fuse USE flag set 4. add fuse USE flag to app-emulation/open-vm-tools 5. Reinstall open-vm-tools 6. Restart vmware-tools, note that problem/error is solved Actual Results: open-vm-tools was installed with -fuse USE flag set Expected Results: open-vm-tools requires the fuse filesystem, so should have the fuse USE flag set by default
