* [18de70f] Removing backported patches, shipped in 10.3.10.
New changelog entries:

* [0f35aee] Add modaliases to open-vm-tools-desktop.
Added Modaliases to open-vm-tools-desktop to auto-discover and
auto-install the driver on Ubuntu via ubuntu-drivers. The driver is then
installed at installation time and available on first boot for an
improved user experience (LP: #1819207)

* [dc4e1ce] Load vmwgfx module before vmtoolsd starts.
As discussed on github in vmware/open-vm-tools#214
we need to load the vmwgfx module before starting vmtoolsd
for desktop users. Otherwise it is not able to retrieve the KMS
resolutions and resizing the VM desktop fails.

* [71b468f] make vgauth service execution more reliable.
Since d3d47039 "Start vgauth before vmtoolsd" there is a potential race
of starting vgauth so early that it might have issues. This was
discussed back in the day in [1] to [2], but confirmed to be ok by
VMWare.
We were all somewhat convinced by this, but a bad feeling remained not
only with me but also with Bernd [4].
A recent SRU review denial made me rethink all of it and I think we can
make it safer without thwarting the purpose of the original change.
Note: Disambiguation of service names used below:
vgauth - open-vm-tools.vgauth.service
vmtoolsd - open-vm-tools.service
fs - systemd-remount-fs.service
tmp - systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service
cloud-init - cloud-init-local.service
Currently we have these dependency requirements:
- vgauth should be before vmtoolsd
- cloud init should be before vmtoolsd
- cloud init has to be really early in general
- therefore this is using DefaultDependencies=No
That lead to this graph:
fs / tmp -> vmtoolsd -> cloud-init
And d3d47039 added it to be like:
fs / tmp -> vmtoolsd -> cloud-init ^
vgauth --|
But there is no need to have vgauth without any pre-dependencies at all.
It is only needed to be "before" vmtoolsd, therefore we can make it:
fs / tmp -> vgauth -> vmtoolsd -> cloud-init
That will make execution of vgauth much less error-prone (even though I
have no hard issue to report) while at the same time holding up all
known required ordering constraints.

[ Christian Ehrhardt ]
* [d3d4703] Start vgauth before vmtoolsd.
VGAuthService needs to be ready when vmtoolsd runs. Certain cases - e.g.
Site Recovery Manager failover - will need vgauth to be up.
Therefore add an After=vgauth.service dependency to open-vm-tools.service
To have vgauth be able start early - and not pull cloud-init back late - it
is also required to drop default dependencies which according to VMware is
fine to do so.

New changelog entries:
[ Raphaël Hertzog ]
* [db2a364] Ensure vmwgfx module is loaded before start of vmtoolsd.
This avoids a failure to start the resolutionKMS plugin and it's
achieved through a drop-in snippet extending open-vm-tools.service
adding an ExecStartPre directive loading the module prior to
the start of the service. (Closes: #915031)
[ Christian Ehrhardt ]
* [e6e0ab8] d/rules: fix dangling symlink of vmware-user.
Back in 2:9.4.0-1280544-6 vmware-user* was moved to the
open-vm-tools-desktop package and some follow on fixes moved bits that
were forgotten like the man page.
(LP: #1807441)
There still is a symlink in /usr/bin/vmware-user that is forgotten in
the base package and broken unless open-vm-tools-desktop is installed.
Change d/rules to move the symlink as well.
