             VMvare成功安装Ubuntu12.04之前，无法安装vmware tools的解决方案：

                             Ubuntu12.04 intallation is stuck at vmware tools installation

 

installed unbuntu 12.04 LTS in VMware workstation 7.0 and the VMware used the "Easy Mode".
When I finish the intallation, the VMware automatically installed the VMware Tools, and it was stuck at this scene. The scene is like this:

******************************************************************
******************************************************************
Vmware Easy Install

PLEASE WAIT! VMware Tools is currently being 
installed on your system. Depending on the 
version of Ubuntu you are installing, you may 
log in below and use the system during 
intallation. Otherwise, please wait for the 
graphical environment to launch. Thank you.

******************************************************************
******************************************************************
ubuntu login:_ 

I can login and use the command "sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm start" to go to the graphical interfaces， but I have to do it every time I use this system.

And I have waited for a very long time and VMware still told me to wait.....

Any Solutions?

I don't know exactly why it fails, but there are three things you need to get things back to normal.

1. Restore the /etc/issue file:

   sudo mv /etc/issue.backup /etc/issue

2. Restore the /etc/rc.local file:

   sudo mv /etc/rc.local.backup /etc/rc.local

3. Restore the /etc/init/lightdm.conf file:

   sudo mv /opt/vmware-tools-installer/lightdm.conf /etc/init

Then reboot (sudo reboot) or run sudo start lightdm to see the greeter.
