Matt,
If you go to www.ubuntuforums.org and search on Howto - Install vmware
tools in Ubuntu, you will find some good directions. I printed it out
and can't read the huge URL or I would point you to it directly. The
main trick is killing gdm so you can get out of the graphical
environment. Plus you need some other packages installed.
