VMware tools installation in ubuntu 11.10,12.10,14.04

Installing VMware tools on the VMware virtual machines is important.
I followed the blog post from VMware
VMware-Tools-Install

Some times while installing VMware tools in 11.10 you may get issues. For that before initiating installation of VMware tools from the VMware vsphere client, you need to select client device in device settings of the virtual machine

After that you can initiate the VMware tools installation.
In the Virtualmachine console
step1
$# sudo mkdir /mnt/cdrom
$# sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
$# tar xzvf /mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-x.x.x-xxxx.tar.gz -C /tmp/
$# cd /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib/
$# sudo ./vmware-install.pl -d

Then reboot the virtualmachine
Now you can see the vmware tools running in the vsphere client.
