[Bug 945037] Re: 12.04Beta: vmware tools install stops install

[ivo welch]

no idea.  could be.  I am just a vmware enduser, doing the naive thing of
trying to install ubuntu 12.04.  you are a prominent end use for them, so
they may already be working on fixing it and they will probably tell you.

best regards,

iaw

  vmware 4.1.1.  probably 12.04beta is too new, but I just wanted to report that the ubuntu 12.04 beta 1 installation dies in a non-graphical window that asks to wait until the vmware easy install (of the vmware tools) completes (when it is supposed to launch the GUI), but it never does complete.  thus, one cannot boot into a GUI, even after a reboot.
