Comment 75 for bug 1741390

Env:
VMs:
* ubuntu-16.04.4-desktop-amd64
* ubuntu-16.04.4-server-amd64
* ubuntu-17.10-desktop-amd64
* ubuntu-17.10-server-amd64

open-vm-tools version: 10.2.0.1608(build-7253323) from ppa:ci-train-ppa-service/3152 or using the default repository

Result:
open-vm-tools can be installed and uninstalled successfully except the following 2 problems.

Problem:
There is 2 problems.
1) After install open-vm-tools, ubuntu 17.10 desktop needs reboot to validate vmtoolsd
2) During install open-vm-tools, ubuntu 17.10 server needs to ask this question about "tools.conf" to continue. (I'm not sure it's necessary.)
