Installing Ubuntu on vmware Workstation.

First of all, we need vmw Workstation up and running. It's simple.

Installation

Workstation

If we have Windows 8/8.1 we'll have first VMware/windows issue with "Not enough memory to run virtual machine".
If you do realize that you have enough memory, you should go to:
C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Workstation


And add following string to config.ini file, it will suppress warning:
vmmon.disableHostParameters = "TRUE"

Ubuntu

Just install OS, no string attached.


Then we need install VMware-tools.


Install VMware-tools-patches from here: https://github.com/rasa/vmware-tools-patches.
in short:

$ git clone https://github.com/rasa/vmware-tools-patches.git
$ cd vmware-tools-patches
$ ./patched-open-vm-tools.sh

If above doesn't work for you see documentation. In my case I had to follow it, which didn't take much time, just:

copied VMware-tools archive into patch folder. 
$ ./untar-and-patch.sh

$ ./compile.sh
