No fstab (or at least an old version of verry) after VMTools updated.

So I just updated my ESX hosts new construction 3 (123630), and large all vmtools are obsolete.

If one of my colleagues went and updated the vmtools and low and behold...  All entries were missing in the fstab!

Initially, I have well it was just network services do not restart and I can not get anything... but then again... see the fstab is missing in the enties.  It's almost as if she replaces the fstab with an older version.

Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Hello

It is a known issue and VMware will have an update for this later. The problem is that they now use a unified source and while vmhgfs is not a part of ESX is part of VMware tools. The tools don't know on what host that were mounted so that they fit all. Including messing with/etc/fstab for the VMhgfs. For now, there are two solutions. Change vmware-config - tools.pl to remove the code vmhgfs or edit/etc/fstab keep your own backup before you run vmware-config - tools.pl.

  • Web sites and email won't recognize the 25 Firefox version. Sites to say I have an old version and ask for that update.

    I have update my Fire Fox version 25 several months ago. I then started to receive messages from Web sites and my yahoo email account I was using an outdated version. Then, I updated to beta 26 and I still have the same problem. I am using Windows 7 on my PC. Never had any problems with Fire Fox until the 25 upgrade. I deleted the cache and cookies without effect. Should I uninstall Fire Fox and start all over again.

  • How can I go back to my old version of FF after update to 15.0?

    FF kept asking me to update to version 15.0, but I resisted because it would disable certain key points, one major is my password and security ap, Abine where all my passwords are stored.

    When I started the computer this morning, FF 15 version was on my computer and Abine no longer works. I do give the permission of FF to do the upgrade, but this isn't the problem now.

    How can I go back to the previous version of FF (14.01)? I have an iMac and you have backed it up with time Machine.

    A new version of Abine FF15 is now on addons.mozilla.org .
    I restarted my computer and Abine worked. If this is not the case, go to tools, modules and update. I'm not a tech person, so I hope that one of these work for you.

  • Satellite Pro L770: still the old version of VAP after update

    Hello

    a brand-new L770 Satellite I have problems of battery according to 'pc health tool' which shows integrity "low battery." Toshiba support asked me to update this tool and 'value added package.

    Before the update, I had a 1.5.1.64 version of this package.
    The new package is supposed to be a 1.5.4.64 version.

    I removed the premiera (1.5.1) and installed the new one (1.5.4).
    After installation, I checked the version indicated by the Control Panel, I read "1.5.1.64".

    Don't you think it might be an error on the site of "http://fr.computers.toshiba-europe.com...". » ?

    Hello

    Maybe a bad packet was sent.
    I downloaded the Win 7 64 bit v 1.5.4.64 VAP and extract the files to a new folder.

    Then I checked the installwb.exe in Notepad, there is an interesting entry:
    AppVer = "1.5.1_64."

    This is a version of the VAP and it seems that it s 1.5.1_64
    So maybe we have to wait until Toshiba would change this

  • How to return to the old version of firefox? 17.0 lost all my tabs, I want my tabs back.

    There is no compatible version of my Add ons or extensions and I lost a boat load of tabs I had saved and I want them back so I want to go back to the previous version of firefox... I now have the new 17.0 and not happy, I lost all my info and settings

    u need to uninstall firefox...

    older version Google Firefox... u should get a link from the site . mozilla.org ... Download the version you want... probly the most current version will work for you... then... and this is important... you disconnect from the internet before u install the old version or firefox will automatically update your installation to 17 FF... install the old version just above what you have now (17 or other)

    Once installed, go you ahead and connect to internet...

    I just lowered the mark 17 FF FF 16 like this, BC. This is th only way firefox tabs work and I lost Tab Mix Plus...

  • Need me and how to uninstall the old version of the JDK 7.0

    Hi, all I have installed the two JDK 1.7 update 21 (1.7.0.210) and 51 (1.7.0.510), and so I wonder what I need to uninstall the old version of JDK 1.7 update 21, as they both appear in the list of "programs and features" in Windows. Secondly, I tried Java Uninstall Tool, it does state that "there is no old versions of Java on your computer. So I'm wondering can I just use "programs and features" it manually uninstall any version of Java, if I need to.

    see you soon

    As I have also implemented "JAVA_HOME" to "jdk1.7.0_21" when I tried to install Android Developer Kit, so I need update "JAVA_HOME" accordingly? The Setup was difficult, and I don't know if it's this set up "JAVA_HOME" step makes installing ADT work.

    If the instructions for installation of this product requires setting a JAVA_HOME variable then Yes, otherwise no.

    Try is certainly a good teacher, but I prefer to read documentation first tent to make it less educated.

  • Training of us data will NOT sync W450 8 GB after software update Version 5

    I updated my 8GB US MY Software Version 5. After the update, I can't sync my data drive via USB or Wi - Fi. I combed the forums & internet for answers, no dice.

    Things, I tried to fix the problem:

    -Suppression of Wi - Fi profiles, then added one at a time

    -Removal of all music of MY then tried to sync

    -Tried a PC and Mac

    -Call the Technical Support, they told me to Factory reset (lost some training data), after doing so, STILL cannot sync.

    It's very frustrating... I can't understand why he used to synchronize, neither can Motorola. I can't extract the raw data either. Can someone please provide useful information?

    Hi BrandoCommando,
    I posted this before. I too had your problem without training on Web site data. Tried every thing to work around the problem. We advised me to return my camera and try another. This did not help the problem. The only thing left was to create a new account W450. Guess what! The problem has been resolved and my W450 transferred workout data since.

    Try it!

    Thank you, fxrunner

  • Photos say too old version after restoring from Time Machine

    I tried to update my wife 5 c's iPhone but iTunes (version 12.4.3.1) kept saying unknown error (-50). I read that a possible problem might be something on an xml file in the pictures with a conflict or missing. I thought that this might be a good time to try my first restore with Time Machine. I thought I would restore Photos only a few hours of this day. While I was doing that in the middle of the restore, Time Machine was trying to make it's hourly backup and I got an exclamation point saying that he was unable to save. After the backup is complete, I tried to open the pictures and it says "library old Version, please update your library 'Photos' using iPhoto free library upgrade available at Apple. So I downloaded the file .dmg and still nothing. I don't want even if an earlier version of Photos, I want to what I had and I thought of making a time Machine would be restore was supposed to get back to how I had it. My Time Machine works again but the new backup, he's trying to back up my photo library. I know because I recognize the size of the backups as being the same size as my library of Photos. I went about this Mac and checked the storage. He showed my disk as empty and my regular hard drive on my Macbook Pro (retina 13 "- beginning 2015") showed use of backup almost exactly the same size as my library of Photos. A few moments later my external drive shows correct usage, but big backup on my regular HD space always shows the same backup use suggesting that it stores my library as a backup, or at least that's my guess. One thing that I tried was the Option key pressed when opening pictures to try to select another library that I have an old migrated iPhotos library in my folder of photos I thought that maybe Photos was trying to open. As a side question I was wondering if I could remove the migrated iPhotos library as whenever I click on it, more or less said that he has already been migrated, he discovers in a compatible version of Photos. I hope that I have given all the good news. If I'm missing something I apologize. I'm under El Captain 10.11.6

    I thought I would restore Photos only a few hours of this day.

After the backup is complete, I tried to open the pictures and it says "library old Version, please update your library 'Photos' using iPhoto free library upgrade available at Apple.

    What did restore exactly the time Machine? You write "Restore Photos", indicating you restored the Photos app, but the error messages seem to apply to the photo library.  You have restored a library of old Photos?  If you restored the photo library, try to open it directly by double clicking it or dragging it to the Photos icon in the Dock.

  • I replaced the 3.11.16 with Firefox 4 Firefox on my Macbook Pro, only to find out that I can't run it on my OS (I'm pre Leopard). Is there a way to recover my old version or download it again, so I can use the program?

    I downloaded Firefox 4 on the site of Firefox, dragging the new version in my applications folder, how it has replaced my old version (I think it was 3.11.16). Then when I went to open it, it says it can not be run on my OS X 10.4.11 system. Can I get the previous version of Firefox back sort of my own system? I can get it back by downloading it from a third party (for Safari) site? Firefox is my favorite browser and I am unwilling to upgrade to Leopard right now.

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

    For Mac OS X 10.4.11 or Mac OS X 10.5.8, you can watch:

    Firefox 3.6.x can be found here:

    I liked the old version of iTunes that allowed me to delete songs from my camera if I needed to make room for other things. Does anyone know why it was changed?

    You have to ask Apple why the design has changed. You should still be able to delete songs by changing your selection of synchronization and synchronize.

    Or you can delete songs directly on your iPad and other iOS devices, directly in the music app or via settings > general > storage & use iCloud > storage management > music

  • using the old version of the back to the top

    Is the old version of "'backup ' more to do on El Capitan?" I mean the one with the umbrella icon. I have a drive that is not large enough to back up with time machine for extra backup but 'backup' will you just for the home folder or photos etc.

    Compatibility of backup don't know, but I wouldn't take the risk.

    Time Machine allows you to exclude the drives and folders that you don't want to save, so you can leave those you want. Click the Options button in TM.
