I managed to install VMware Tools in Fedora 14.0 on VMware Workstation 15.0.1 like some installation guides suggesting:
mkdir /mnt/cdrom
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
cd /tmp
cp /mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-x.x.x-yyyy.tar.gz /tmp
tar zxpf /mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-x.x.x-yyyy.tar.gz
umount /dev/cdrom
cd vmware-tools-distrib
./vmware-install.pl
but it failed and I got the the following output:
Creating a new initrd boot image for the kernel.
Generating the key and certificate files.
Successfully generated the key and certificate files.
initctl: Job failed to start
Unable to start services for VMware Tools
Execution aborted .
I had installed kernel,kernel-devel,gcc,perl,fuse-libs and nmap before installing VMware Tools.
Also,I uninstalled vmware-tools with vmware-uninstall-tools.pl and installed it again,but it did not work.
Some advice said that just removing /etc/init/vmware-tools-thinprint.conf and then running the following:
/etc/vmware-tools/services.sh start
But I did not find the vmware-tools-thinprint.conf in my virtual machine。
As I run the /etc/vmware-tools/services.sh start,I got the following:
Checking acpi hot plug [ 0K ]
Starting VMware Tools services in the virtual machine :
Switching to guest configuration: [ 0K ]
VMware Automatic Kmods : [ 0K ]

I'm a newbie and hope someone can help me.
Thanks
