Install VMware10 Tools in Ubuntu 14.04

I have been worried for a few days because I cannot install vm tools. In fact, there are other alternatives, but I still have a flaw in my mind.

I used 64-bit Ubuntu14.04 in VMware7. I had a lot of errors when installing vm tools. I checked a lot of information and only used the shared clipboard function. My goal is to enable the shared folder.

I searched for the latest version of VMware this morning and found 10 in the Chinese version. I plan to try it again in the casual installation. After the installation, I did not find any errors reported by VMware7, on the contrary, there are several new errors, and after the installation, even the most basic shared clipboard function is gone. Continue to query the information and finally find the answer in google

1-Run: apt-get install dkms linux-headers-$ (uname-r) build-essential psmisc
2-Run: git clone https://github.com/rasa/vmware-tools-patches.git
3-Run: cd vmware-tools-patches/patches
4-Remove every folder into t "vmhgfs ".
5-Get the last version of VMwareTools clicking on VMWare Bar> VM> Install/Reinstall VMWare Tools. It will open a virtual CD containing the "tar" file.
6-Copy VMwareTools-9.2.4-1398046.tar.gz to "vmware-tools-patches" folder.
7-On "vmware-tools-patches" folder, run:./untar-and-patch-and-compile.sh

After the restart, the resolution is adaptive and the clipboard can be used normally. Enter lsmod | grep vm to see vmhgfs. However, in the shared directory/mnt/hgfs, the system prompts that the folder is not a directory.

I found the VMware10 Bug on the Internet. It was fixed in 10.0.2 and is being downloaded. I will try again tomorrow.

I checked some information about printing. I don't need the printing function anyway. Just delete it.
