Okay... this is abit of a crossed over topic but this is probably the best place to ask:

I want to try Ubuntu again only this time, I want to try in on my MacBook. I'm using VMware Fusion (Version 1.1.1 (72241)) and it runs Windows XP fine; tried installing Ubuntu 7.10 and all is fine apart from the VM tool part.

I can't install VM tool~! It just shows the "CD" content as a bunch of weird app file which doesn't launch. Google around and I've got the same problem as this guy

Anyone tried installing it Ubuntu on their Mac before?

Cheers~

Copy the tar.gz file to the desktop
Extract the file onto the desktop
open terminal
type in terminal "cd Desktop"
then type "vmware-tools-distrib"
type sudo ./vmware-install.pl
Click to expand...

That worked! :)
Thanks.

My network is still connected via NAT/Bridge with the Host, so it's all dandy... :D
 
It would appears that after updating, I've no longer got any network connection :(

I've tried your chain of commands and it didn't work; nothing shown on terminal when I typed in
sudo rmmod vmxnet
sudo modprobe vmxnet

??
 
Thanks - but I've just taken a new approach to Ubuntu... I've just wiped out OS X (backed up of course) and I'm planning to run Ubuntu for 28 days; comparing my everyday use of totally "Free" OS to my years of Windows and OS X use. A challenge I suppose :)
