hi
i'm able to run Porteus on VMWare no problem.
vmware tools installed no problem, no error.
but, when i try to run
i get
Unable to copy to source file
/usr/lib/vmware-tools/configurator/pam.d/vmtoolsd to the destination file
/etc/pam.d/vmtoolsd.
Execution aborted.
i notice the pam.d directory does not exist.
any help?
thx!

You can try to run as root:
Code: Select all
sudo /usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl
(and then put the password 'guest')
Or try to create the folder before running the command above:
Code: Select all
sudo mkdir /usr/lib/vmware-tools/configurator/pam.d -p

thx for reply.
already running as root (that's how installed the tools).
i thought of manually creating the folder, but concerned that's a workaround which does not address some bug (a bug which may continue to affect the setup).

creating the folder manually was the fix.
thx!
