Description

During theinstallation, can you switch to the console (Ctrl + Alt + F2) and check: (1) Which version of open-vm-tools is installed? (2) Is vmtoold running? That should be 'vmtoolsd'. Please check BZ1331578 and BZ1354636, patches have fixed this issue, and will be in the release version build. Hi I cannot view a internal bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1331578 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1354636 tanks Roberto Bug 1331578 claims this is fixed in kernel-3.10.0-485.el7 and bug 1354636 says an additional fix went into xorg-x11-drv-vmmouse-13.0.0-12.el7 So in addition to the information requested in comment 1, please supply the version of kernel and xorg-x11-drv-vmmouse. Ok, Richard
package are that supplied with RHEL 7.3 beta 1 iso:

I have placed the new xorg-x11-drv-vmmouse package which is supposed to fix this here: http://oirase.annexia.org/tmp/bz1387522-vmmouse/ If that fixes the problem then we can mark this bug as a duplicate of bug 1354636. If that doesn't fix the bug I don't know what to suggest. We'll need to ask the bug assignee to take a look. Thanks Richard now i can use a gui on installed RHEL 7.3 Beta system, can I load a vmmouse diver into anaconda when install it? Roberto I think the answer to that is no. However RHEL 7.3 will be released in a matter of days, and the updated vmmouse package should be included in the new spin of the install CD. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1354636 *** FWIW, vmtoolsd is not related to mouse function. It is the vmmouse driver. Thanks Rich for providing the fixed driver for this issue. Rich, I think this bug should be assigned to the same group that owns bug 1354636? Thanks for clarifying which bit does what. The groups on this bug are fine. |
