Description of problem: If you install open-vm-tools, and you don't have ifconfig, the shutdown/restart/etc scripts will fail, and VMWare will complain. Yum should install net-tools for you so this doesn't happen. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): open-vm-tools 9.4.0-1.fc20 How reproducible: 100%, as far as I can tell. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Do a minimal install of Fedora 20 in VMWare, then do 'yum install open-vm-tools' after it boots up. 2. Restart the VM Actual results: On boot VMWare will complain that a script has failed. Expected results: No such complaint. Additional info: This is fixed after you run 'yum install net-tools'
Be even better if upstream could use the 'ip' program which is installed by default in core.
Here is the complete list of dependencies for the scripts included in the package: - 'ifup' from 'initscripts' package - 'ifconfig' from 'net-tools' package - 'dbus-send' from 'dbus' package - 'egrep' from 'grep' package - 'expr/date/dirname' from 'coreutils' package - 'sed' from 'sed' package - 'printf/basename' from 'coreutils' package - 'tar' from 'tar' package (In reply to Richard W.M. Jones from comment #1) > Be even better if upstream could use the 'ip' program > which is installed by default in core. FYI, I have filed a bug for upstream to make this change.
