I'm following these instructions:
http://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/do...ols_linux.html
and am 'Installing VMware Tools from the Command Line with the Tar Installer'.
When I did
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
it said that there is no such directory as /mnt/cdrom so I cd into /mnt/ and mkdir cdrom.
then the
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
after cd /tmp
in the
tar zxf /mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-5.0.0-<xxxx>.tar.gz
step, it says "Where <xxxx> is the build/revision number of the VMware Workstation release."
The problem is, i'm using VMplayer, not VMware workstation. What should I do?
The instructions here: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmware-too...figuration.pdf
say to run the command
ls (mount-point)
but I tried to do ls /mnt/cdrom and also tried ls /media/username/Lubuntu\ 13.04\ i386
and it said Input/output error.
Any idea what is wrong?
