VMware安装unbuntu 12.04 LTS时，当你使用VMware的Easy Mode安装时，提示须要安装VMware Tools，屏幕会出现下方的文字：
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.
Restore the /etc/issue file:
sudo mv /etc/issue.backup /etc/issue
Restore the /etc/rc.local file:
sudo mv /etc/rc.local.backup /etc/rc.local
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.
