| Where am I going wrong? I have VMware Fusion 1.1.3 installed on my Intel Mac Mini. I have successfully set up Windows XP with little difficulty. I am trying to set up another virtual machine for 64-bit Ubuntu. Unfortunately, installing VMware Tools has been frustrating to say the least. I have followd the instructions on this page. However all my sudo commands on the guest terminal come back as invalid. Can anyone advice?

| Under Parallels, the current versions of their VM tools aren't compatible with the latest Ubuntu release (8.04?). Could it possibly be the same for VMWare's tools? http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/20...alization.html

I have accessed a number of help documents from different web sites and all suggest that it is a piece of cake to install VMTools with Ubuntu 8.0.4. I am sorry, but I beg to differ. I hope VMware will come out with a solution soon.

| I had that same problem. If you go to VMWare's appliance page, they have a downloadable Ubuntu image with VMTools pre-installed.

| Thanks icemanjc. I tried to download the one you suggested, but none of the download links from the VMware's appliance web pages work. I have all the install CDs for Ubuntu anyway. I think I'll wait for VMware to come up with a work around.

| Ubuntu 8.0.4 doesn't have precompiled tools yet. Thatswhy the default doesn't work. The pre-compiled version would need to have one for each version of VMware product.. so 1 for Fusion 1.1.3, 1 for 1.1.2, 1 for 1.1.1, 1 for 2.0 beta 1, 1 for beta 2, and the same litany for EVERY product where VMware Tools exist. Each version has new Tools... But you can build them - the bottom of the page links work for it. http://peterc.org/2008/62-how-to-ins...re-fusion.html On the first time, maybe 10 minutes to figure how to build the Tools.. and that should do it
