Title: VMware Tools
Post by: manoca on 19 September 2023, 16:03:12
How does one install the open-vm-tools on artix? I am pretty sure, I've once done that. But nowadays I completely forgot how to. Where do I find the open-vm-tools package?

Dang it. As soon as I finished writing this thread I found it in the community repo.

open-vm-tools is in the extra repository :
Code: [Select]
pacman -Ss open-vm-tools
extra/open-vm-tools 6:12.3.0-1
    The Open Virtual Machine Tools (open-vm-tools) are the open source
    implementation of VMware Tools

The community repository is empty now and can therefore be removed from /etc/pacman.conf :
