Hello, I do use Freebsd 8 R2 with a lot of satisfaction as a VMware guest machine.
Here the revision of my Freebsd install:
I do have VMware Tools installed and running and I have to say I didn't had any problem running full screen, resize guest window and so on (everything done via vmware-user program).
Here my actual vmware tools programs correctly running:
As u can see vmware-user is not on the list.
It happened after I did a big successfull (but vmware-user broke) update of my Freebsd packages to the last version.
After this big update vmware-user executable die with segmentation fault at start time.
Here the dmesg related with how this program die:
If I try to start it on a shell window it always die and say core dumped as reported before.
I have to say my problem is just related with this program. ALL the other programs work pretty well, no problems at all, never ever saw a core dumped before.
Do anyone is running a completely up to date Freebsd 8 system under VMware as a guest machine? Do vmware-user do work for u? Any idea how to troubleshoot this problem? Any idea which program could have broken vmware-user?
It can be related with libdnet-1.11_3? This port was missing after the update (the command I used to make my system up to date is: portmaster -a -v -d -B --no-confirm) and vmware started complaining about it missing (it complained about version 1.05 if memory serve me well). After I installed the latest port I started keep segmentation faults.
I did try to remove and install vmware-tools again with no luck. They install pretty ok then vmware-user is still broken with segmentation fault.
Thankx in advance for any possible help.
