VMWare Tools for Linux installation not working

$

Hello everyone,

 

I'm having problems getting VMWare tools for a Debian Linux VM to work. In principle all went well during the installation, I followed up every single step described in different forums and here I am, Tools are properly installed:

The terminal shows the same status:

But in spite of these facts seems like the tools are not installed at all. I'm not being able to increase the guest screen, I'm not being able to copy files between the host and the guest, etc. My setup is as follows:

 

VMWare vSphere Client 5.5.0

Guest: Debian Linux 7.6.0 amd64 (Kernel 3.2.0.4-amd64)

VMware tools file: VMwareTools-9.4.0-1280544.tar.gz

 

I'm not sure if the version of the Tools and Linux are compatible. Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

 

Thank you.
