apt-key add VMWARE-PACKAGING-GPG-KEY.pub

nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vmware-tools.list

• Add “deb http://packages.vmware.com/tools/esx/<esx-version>/ubuntu <dist> main restricted”
• in my case “deb http://packages.vmware.com/tools/esx/4.1u1/ubuntu karmic main restricted”

“The configuration syntax is specific to each operating system version. Replace <dist> with maverick

for Ubuntu 10.10, lucid for Ubuntu 10.04, karmic for Ubuntu 9.10, jaunty for Ubuntu 9.04, intrepid

for Ubuntu 8.10, and hardy for Ubuntu 8.04.

Replace <esx-version> with 3.5u2, 3.5u3, 3.5u4, 3.5u5, 4.0, 4.0u1, 4.0u2, or 4.1, depending on the

ESX/ESXi version.”
