This is the way it worked for me
- Upgrade all apps (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade)
- Reboot
- Upgrade the kernel (sudo apt-get dist-upgrade)
- Reboot
- Install new kernel headers ( sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` )
- Choose “Install/update vmware tools” in the VI-client
- Mount the CD (sudo mkdir /mnt/cdrom && sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom )
- Copy the tar to your homefolder ( cp /mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-x.x.x-yyyyyy.tar.gz /home/username)
- Untar (cd /home/username && tar zxvf VMwareTools-x.x.x-yyyyyy.tar.gz)
- Install the upgrade (sudo /home/username/vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl)
- Follow the instructions on the screen
- Reboot
Done
