[sles-beta] Problems Updateing SLES11 to SLES12 under VMware Workstation - Tools

[Waite, Dick]

Grand Sunny Afternoon,

I think we are getting somewhere... Support asked me to give them the /var/log/Xorg.... logs Having a look inside the logs there is a real old fight going on about the vmware mouse and keyboard. There are not acceptable to the SLE12 system, but happy as Larry with SLE11...

I'm very surprised the VMware Beta testers did not have these issues... Anyway maybe there is light at then end of this tunnel. I think it's going to be too late to get are APPs tested with SLE12-SP0, but it does give us something to work on for SLE12-SP1.

Seem support is happy with the files, always grand to keep support happy.

Hi Simon,

If I run a new install it's also grand, works as expected, it's only on an Upgrade I get the X11 / display issues with mice and keyboard, but it's Updates I need to get my Apps ready for testing.

While we are chatting, VMware Tools Update, when do you run this? Do you push the refresh button or run from the command line or? I have a feeling in the water something is not quite right in this area. The VMware log has quite a lot to say in a -ve way about what is going on.

Just thought I'd report that Beta 10 seems to be okay under VMware Player 6.0.3 - I've installed it then restarted and shut down, making a few small changes in between, and it's behaved correctly.

Now to try a few things out.

Thanks,
Simon
