Serge,
My environment is VMware Workstation v7.1.3 on Windows 7, 64-bit, Host
Guest is Ubuntu 11.04 beta: Linux ubuntu 2.6.38-7-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Fri
Mar 25 21:24:57 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
VMware Tools form VMware are currently installed. Version: 7.1.3
build-324285
I follow your guidance from 3/3 in order:
tar zxf open-vm-tools-2011.02.23-debs.tar.gz
sudo dpkg -i open-vm-tools_2011.02.23-368700-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i open-vm-toolbox_2011.02.23-368700-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i open-vm-dkms_2011.02.23-368700-0ubuntu1_all.deb
On first pass, I got errors in open-vm-tools set up saying vmhgfs and vmsync
were missing:

Kind of strange the the install continued and updated initrd.img.
Anyway, I kept going to here through to dkms:

With vmhgfs and vmsync installed, I repeated from the top.
