I had completely forgotten about this. WIth past ESX builds Ubuntu was only *sort of* supported. In order to get VMWare Tools installed on Ubuntu you had to basically merge the native VMWare Tools with open-vmware-tools.
The process of merging the two sets to tools together was simple enough, and successful enough – but doesnt it feel great when something is really supported and when it works the way it’s supposed to? For the shiny new supported VMWare Tools I simply ran ./vmware-install.pl from the console of my Guest, waited about 5 minutes and voila!
