Any help on this missing vmblock problem is greatly appreciated.
During the (apparently) successful install of vCenter VMware Tools 9.0.11.32667 onto an openSUSE 13.1 desktop system, I am getting the following X errors, and vmblock errors when I run vmware-user to finish the install.
vmblock
/usr/bin/vmware-user
vmware-user: could not open /prod/fs/vmblock/dev
(vmware-users:7699): Gtk-WARNING ** gtl_diskable_setlocale() must be called before gtk_init()
X
Detected X server version 1.14.3
Distribution provided drivers for Xorg X server are used.
Skipping C configuration because X drivers are not included.
Other than these error messages during install, I have not yet noticed error messages in /var/log/messages after reboot, or any broken functionality. The VMs will be isolated from the hosts & the vSphere client machines, so losing copy & paste functionality via vmblock is not a problem.
/prod/fs/vmblock does not exist
/var/run/
The process for replacement was as documented in other threads:
Remove open-vm-tools using YaST
Installation of kernel-source using YaST [which also installed kernel-devel & kernel-desktop-devel
Installation of gcc using YaST
Downloading of VMwareTools from vCenter
./vmware-install.pl
The replacement of open-vm-tools with vCenter VMware tools was necessary to get Customization Specification functionality.
Any insights on unseen collateral damage, or remediation, will be much appreciated.
