Modifications made in the spring and summer of 2006 have changed the VMware Tools installation procedure for Ubuntu users. The sequence of events is now as follows:
For the VMware Tools installation, the physical CD has to be disconnected. If necessary, shut down Ubuntu, deselect "Connect at power-on" in the CD icon and restart Ubuntu.
In Ubuntu, open a Terminal (Applications | Accessories | Terminal).
For your own verification, obtain your kernel number with the command "uname -r" (it should be a number like 2.6.15-27-386).
Open the Synaptic Package Manager (System | Administration | Synaptic Package Manager), search for "linux-headers", and mark for installation "linux-headers-386" (or -686 if you're on a 64-bit machine). This will also automatically activate the installation of the linux-headers appropriate to your kernel number.
Also in the Synaptic Package Manager, search for "gcc" and mark this package for installation. This will also activate the installation of the current version of gcc, e.g., "gcc-4.0".
Click on "Apply" in the Synaptic Package Manager to install the selected entries.
In the Terminal, compile the development package with "sudo apt-get install build-essential". Answer "y" (yes) to complete the installation of the extra packages.
CTRL-ALT to exit Ubuntu and select "VM | Install VMware Tools... | Install" in VMware Server. This opens a virtual CD-ROM on your Ubuntu Desktop containing the VMware Tool installation kit.
Open the virtual CD-ROM. Two versions of the Tools are presented. In Ubuntu, we use the *.tar.gz version of the Tools. Drag this Tools-file into the Ubuntu Desktop. Double-click the file to open it and extract the contents ("vmware-tools-distrib") via a right-click on the file to your Ubuntu Desktop.
In the Terminal, navigate into the VMware Tool installation kit with "cd Desktop/vmware-tools-distrib".
Install the tools with "sudo ./vmware-install.pl". Accept all default answers to all the question by pressing [Enter]. This will cause Ubuntu to recompile the kernel with the VMware Tools.
Select the screen size you prefer. A good recommendation is to choose the largest screen resolution of any of your monitors. Below I'll explain how the screen can be resized.
Start VMware Tools with "/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox" and select the features you desire. I found it useful to enable time synchronization between Ubuntu and Windows. The "Devices" tab lets you mount extra CD drives like RAM disks.
Also, this toolbox must be active if you want to copy-paste between the host and the guest systems. I added "/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox" to the Ubuntu startup programs through System | Preferences | Sessions | Startup Programs, and keep the toolbox running all the time while I'm in Ubuntu.
Put the Tools files on your Desktop in the trash. Restart Ubuntu. VMware Tools is installed.
Once that's all done, you can sit back and work away in Ubuntu on one big screen and in Windows in the other. Cursors move easily. Speed is... shall we say, surprising. And it hasn't cost you a dime, just some time and some experimentation. Well, barely any.
