Source from VMWare
After you removed previously installed vmware-tools, just follow these steps:
1. Add this to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://packages.vmware.com/tools/esx/latest/ubuntu precise main
Then do:
gpg --search C0B5E0AB66FD4949 # hinzufügen (1)
gpg -a --export C0B5E0AB66FD4949 | apt-key add --
2. Update your package database:
# aptitude update
3. Get Module-Assistant:
# aptitude install module-assistant
4. Get the base packages:
# aptitude install vmware-tools-foundation vmware-tools-libraries-nox vmware-tools-guestlib vmware-tools-core
5. Get the modules:
# aptitude install vmware-tools-{vmci,vmxnet,vsock,vmblock,vmhgfs,vmsync}-common
# aptitude install vmware-tools-{vmci,vmxnet,vsock,vmblock,vmhgfs,vmsync}-modules-source
6. Get kernel and headers:
# aptitude install linux-{image,headers}-3.2.0-52-generic
7. Compile and install the modules with module assistant
# m-a prepare --kvers-list 3.2.0-52-generic
# m-a --text-mode --kvers-list 3.2.0-52-generic build vmware-tools-{vmci,vmxnet,vsock,vmblock,vmhgfs,vmsync}-modules
# m-a --text-mode --kvers-list 3.2.0-52-generic install vmware-tools-{vmci,vmxnet,vsock,vmblock,vmhgfs,vmsync}-modules
Minimal /etc/vmware-tools/config
libdir = "/usr/lib/vmware-tools"
Switch to Ubuntu open-vm-tools
# /usr/bin/vmware-uninstall-tools.pl ; aptitude purge open-vm-tools ; apt update ; apt install open-vm-tools
