How to Slove the Problem About VMware Easy Install

When I tried to in­stall Ubuntu 12.04 on Vware Fu­sion, met the prob­lem, which is that VM­ware said the below text.

vm­ware easy in­stall

please wait! vm­ware tools is cur­rently being in­stalled on your sys­tem. de­pend­ing on the ver­sion of ubuntu you are in­stalling. you may login in below and use the sys­tem dur­ing the in­stall­a­tion. oth­er­wise, please wait for the graph­ical en­vir­on­ment to la­nuch.

Thank you.

Then, I found the way to solve this prob­lem. I write down as memo below.

  1. Login by typ­ing youer user­name and pass­word.

  2. Re­store three files which names are “/etc/issue”, “/etc/rc.​local” ,“/etc/init/lightdm.​conf”. Just type below com­mans.


sudo mv /etc/issue.backup /etc/issue
sudo mv /etc/rc.local.backup /etc/rc.local
sudo mv /opt/vmware-tools-installer/lightdm.conf /etc/init
sudo reboot

After re­boot, my Ubuntu is avail­avle.
