Are you running your VM on vSphere or Workstation? If vSphere, you've posted in the wrong forum.

If you are running an Ubuntu 22.04 VM in either Workstation or vSphere, do not install VMware Tools. Instead, use open-vm-tools (and open-vm-tools-desktop if you're running X11 or Wayland graphical environments in the VM)  that are part of the Ubuntu distribution. You install them using apt in the VM. Here's an example.

apt update
apt install open-vm-tools
