The Tools are supposed to be installed in the client (or in our terminology, the "guest"). That would be Ubuntu Hardy, in your case. When you tried to install Tools from the VM menu, what happened? Did you see an error of some kind? If not, check the CD-ROM device in the guest. The "Install Tools" option will just mount the Tools ISO image in the guest's CD-ROM drive, and after that you'll need to continue the installation manually within the guest by accessing the CD-ROM drive. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ open-vm-tools-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/open-vm-tools-discuss
