Ubuntu 20.04 on ARM64 - open-vm-tools 11.2.5
=============================================

These open-vm-tools have been built with the Ubuntu open-vm-tools patches
and build scripts using the open-vm-tools 11.2.5 source release.

For this tech preview, installation will automatically complete the mount of
/mnt/hgfs at boot time if the Shared Folders feature has been enabled.


open-vm-tools-11.2.5-3ubuntu20.04.tgz
-----------------------------------------------
This tar bundle provides open-vm-tools 11.2.5 debian package files for a
Ubuntu 20.04 virtual guest in the Fusion on ARM Tech Preview.

The tar bundle contains:

  - this README

  - open-vm-tools_11.2.5-3ubuntu1~ubuntu20.04.2_arm64.deb

     - vmtoolsd system service

  - open-vm-tools-desktop_11.2.5-3ubuntu1~ubuntu20.04.2_arm64.deb

     - vmtoolsd vmusr (desktop) service

To install these packages onto your Ubuntu 20.04 guest VM:

  1. Unwind the tar file in a work directory

     mkdir mywork
     cd mywork
     tar -xf <path of open-vm-tools-11.2.5-3ubuntu20.04.tgz>

  2. Install the packages  using the "dpkg" command

     dpkg -i ./open-vm-tools_11.2.5-3ubuntu1~ubuntu20.04.2_arm64.deb \
             ./open-vm-tools-desktop_11.2.5-3ubuntu1~ubuntu20.04.2_arm64.deb

  3. Log out of the desktop.  When logging back into the desktop, remember to
     select an X11/Xorg graphics client before entering your password.

     A "pf -ef | grep vmtoolsd" should show the 2 vmtoolsd process running.

      root         824       1  0 22:17 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/vmtoolsd
      vmware      2381    1897  0 22:17 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/vmtoolsd -n vmusr --blockFd 3

     The "--blockFd 3" indicates that the desktop user is using an X11 graphical
     client.
