vmware
On my Ubuntu 10.04 Server guest VM running from VMware fusion, the VMware tools doesn't seem to be running after a reboot or my computer comes back from stand-by or sleep(when I close my MacBook lid):
$ /etc/init.d/vmware-tools status
vmware-guestd is not running
I did try running it as a service but the tools would still not run after coming back from stand by:
sudo service vmware-tools start
Any ideas what I should do to make the tools run all the time? My Ubuntu Server can only be accessed from the CLI, I won't be able to try any GUI solution.
