Hi, I am running Ubuntu 7.10 Server Edition. Currently I am trying to mount VMware tools and install it via CLI because I cannot seem to start x-server.
I installed the latest xorg version from the Ubuntu repos. I'm pretty sure xorg.conf is configured correct except for the mouse. The errors I get while starting x-server relate to not being able to find the "vmware mouse". I figured this problem might stem from not having VMware Tools installed currently. Now, when I try to mount VMware Tools, nothing shows up in the cdrom drive so I can't unpack and install VMware tools.
Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
EDIT: To clarify any future questions about the VM cdrom, yes it is powered on and yes it is showing up on on the server.
