VMware Image - vmwaretools getting things working.

[BadaBing]

after installing the vmware tools, if you are having issues do this:

apt-get update
apt-get install linux-source
cd /usr/src
tar jxpf linux-source-{version}.tar.bz2
ln -s linux-source-{version} linux
cd linux
zcat /proc/config.gz > .config
make scripts
make prepare

mount /dev/cdrom3 /mnt/cdrom
cp /mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-{version}.tar.gz /tmp/
cd /tmp/
tar zxpf VMwareTools-{version}.tar.gz
cd vmware-tools-distrib
./vmware-install.pl

Run this to fix auto resize guest window.

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
#then
echo "/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox" > ~/.kde3/Autostart/vmware-toolbox.sh
chmod +x ~/.kde3/Autostart/vmware-toolbox.sh

the last two lines will auto start vmware toolbox so autosize finally works !!
