hi
I don't know if my question was correctly asked.
At the moment I did it like this:

cd /etc/init.d/
sudo chmod -x vmware-tools

it seems to me that it is fine.
Now VMware-tools does not start during boot.

This is my personal solution to inhibit this component from starting on boot, I don't know if it's the most correct solution for a gentoo system.

best regards

hi
newbye on reddcore gentoo

in /var/log/boot.log i find:

Error: /usr/bin/vmtoolsd must be run inside a virtual machine on a VMware hypervisor product.
*^O start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/bin/vmtoolsd'
*^O Failed to start vmware-tools
[ !! ]^O
*^O ERROR: vmware-tools failed to start

Is it possible to disable this service, and how?

I can't find systemctl on my system

regards
