VMware Tools are fully compatible with Ubuntu 10.04. If you’re running the latest version of Vmware software product,you can install newest version of Vmware Tools by following codes.
First attach the ISO image containing VMware Tools to the virtual machine. Then open a terminal window and execute the following commands
sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom cp /media/cdrom/VMware*.tar.gz /tmp sudo umount /media/cdrom cd /tmp tar xzvf VMware*.gz cd vmware-tools-distrib/ sudo ./vmware-install.pl
Just press Enter for default when the installation script asks for answers.
You can download an image from http://chrysaor.info/?page=images&filter=Ubuntu if you don’t have a disc with the ISO image and use this instead the second command in previous codes:
sudo mount -o loop PATH/TO/ISO /media/cdrom

Not “sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade”
Right “sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade”

does not work ‘out of the box’ with 10.04 server 64-bit. Appears to need additional items installed (gcc server to start).

with 10.04 server 64 bit I needed to do
sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install build-essential gcc
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
before installing tools since default install insisted on re-building the tools.
After that it worked fine … probably until the next kernel update when will have to do it again.
