Ubuntu 6.10 on VMWS 6.0.0 - VMWare tools problems

EncryptedToast · ‎08-31-2007

Hi all,

Been doing some searching on VMware tools and Ubuntu but don't see my problem. I have the tools installed, and the output of the configuration is confusing, i.e. I see errors but also success in the same entry! So...I have no idea if it is installed correctly or not. I suspect it is not, as VMware still says "Your version of VMware tools is out of date" and also I cannot go above 800x600 in X. Here is the output from the last time I tried to configure VMWare tools:

X Window System Version 7.1.1
