I'd just like to confirm this error in ubuntu feisty 2 as well (as opposed to the above, which is kubuntu) as of today, Jan. 31, with a fully updated feisty running inside a fully updated VMware server.

I read somewhere that vmware does not support the 2.6.20 kernel that Feisty uses, yet.

Any idea on when this will change?

As vmware open-sourced vmware-tools we can close this bug.

I'll confirm this bug as it seems to be one of many issues with ubuntu7.10 (and others) and VMWware.

has this problem been fixed in 7.10? or must one resort to open-source vmtools?
