Install VMware10 Tools in Ubuntu14 & lt; 2 & gt;

• I have already installed a patch for the problem that the shared directory cannot be displayed in the previous article. The patch address is https://github.com/rasa/vmware-tools-patches. if the patch fails, the error "HGFS is not a directory" appears.
• Run the df command to check whether/mnt/hgfs has been successfully mounted and the vmhgfs service is normal (use the lsmod | grep vm command)
• Download VMware10.0.2. After installation, you can't wait to open the virtual machine to install vmtools. After successful installation, You need to patch the part before it passes. However, an error is reported when you start the service.

Creating a new initrd boot image for the kernel. update-initramfs: Generating/boot/initrd. img-3.13.0-24-genericinitctl: Unknown task: vmware-tools-thinprintUnable to start services for VMware ToolsExecution aborted.

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

root@yufan-vm:/etc/init# rm vmware-tools-thinprint.conf

• Restart the service
