Hi,
I'm trying to install vmware tools in my guest mythubuntu 9.10. Everithing seems ok but when I reboot I can't boot with startx. When I install the wmare tools it says me:
make: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config1/vsock-only'
The vsock module loads perfectly into the running kernel.
Detected X.org version 7.5.4.
The configuration file /etc/X11/xorg.conf can not be found. Do you want to
create a new one? (yes/no)
/bin/grep: /etc/fedora-release: No such file or directory
/bin/grep: /etc/SuSE-release: No such file or directory
Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service hal restart
Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the restart(8) utility, e.g. restart hal
hal start/running, process 12832

The configuration of VMware Tools 7.8.6 build-185404 for Linux for this running
kernel completed successfully.
You must restart your X session before any mouse or graphics changes take
effect.
You can now run VMware Tools by invoking the following command:
"/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox" during an X server session.
To enable advanced X features (e.g., guest resolution fit, drag and drop, and
file and text copy/paste), you will need to do one (or more) of the following:
1. Manually start /usr/bin/vmware-user
2. Log out and log back into your desktop session; and,
3. Restart your X session.
To use the vmxnet driver, restart networking using the following commands:
/etc/init.d/networking stop
rmmod pcnet32
rmmod vmxnet
modprobe vmxnet
/etc/init.d/networking start
Enjoy,
Any help?
Many thanks and sorry for my english!
