Some googling shows that the VMWare Tools are not yet compatible with 9.10. Does anyone know how quickly VMWare usually gets around to updating tools after an Ubuntu update?
- mcav 17y agoWorks fine for me under Fusion 3.
- aarongough 17y agoI think he meant using VMWare Tools on Ubuntu As opposed to running Ubuntu under VMWare
- tmitchell 17y agoTools runs on the guest OS to provide better mouse/graphics/etc integration. Typically it gets broken with new kernels. I am still hoping for a reliable/official VMWare Tools .deb repository.
- aarongough 17y agoAh. Snap. I am having one of those days. I read 'VMWare Tools' as 'VMWare Server' for some reason. Cheers!
- Sapient 17y agoI have given up on waiting for VMWare Tools to catch up and switched to VirtualBox from Sun. http://www.virtualbox.com http://www.virtualbox.com Unless there is some strange functionality you need from VMWare that isn't supported in VirtualBox, I suggest giving it a try.

- ableal 17y agoAnd the Virtualbox repository is ready with 3.10 for Koala. You do have to re-enable the source manually - it's not deleted, but the 9.04 -> 9.10 upgrade process turns off third party sources as a precaution. Just finished upgrading an AMD quad core box, smooth sailing.

- Andys 17y agoYou can usually update the tools by using parts of openvmtools. http://patrickmylund.com/blog/how-to-install-vmware-tools-on-ubuntu-server-810/ http://patrickmylund.com/blog/how-to-install-vmware-tools-on...
