Always try to install because fact: vmwaretools_version => not installed
oneingan opened this issue · comments
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and install 9.0.10-1481436. All ends well but try to install in every puppet run.
Some info:
facter -p vmwaretools_version
not installed
file /usr/bin/vmware-toolbox-cmd
/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox-cmd: ERROR: cannot open `/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox-cmd' (No such file or directory)

Can you post the output of which vmware-toolbox-cmd?
no output, and: find / -name vmware-toolbox-cmd neither
Thanks, can you post the full Puppet output with --debug?
I can't see anything majorly wrong in the output, can you try installing the tools manually using /tmp/<dir>/vmware-install.pl -d, as I don't have a 10.04 system to hand?
Incidentally, 10.04 is officially unsupported from April 30th this year - see this link
Ok, I've installed manually with default values and same problem happens. Then I launched intercative mode and installer notifies me that open-vm-tools are installed. So checking the vmware-install.pl script I've noticed that check the following packages: "open-vm-dkms", "open-vm-source", "open-vm-toolbox", "open-vm-tools", "open-vm-tools-dbg". And, of course, "open-vm-source" was yet installed. I purged it and now all the binaries are there and module works ok.
