I don't think VMWare fusion has full support on Ubuntu. I tried it, but then couldn't get it to work right within 10 minutes, so I gave up and deleted the VM.
For installing the vmware tools on linux, start the linux VM. Once the OS has completely booted, click on settings> Install VMWare tools. This will download the vmware tools installer to linux VM. You need to wait for sometime for it to download depending on the net speed. Sometimes you might need to cancel it and start it again. Extract the package which will create a folder named vmware-tools-distrib. NAvigate to that folder using terminal and execute command "./vmware-install.pl". That will prompt you for some inputs. Just go on hitting enter and you're done.
Personally i dont find much use in installing vmware tools on linux except for resultion which is sometimes pain to set.
In your Mac system preferences, go to sharing and turn on Internet Sharing. Select "Ethernet." Go to Ubuntu and select wired network. VMWare tricks Ubuntu into believing there's an ethernet connection and you then have internet access without having to use the terminal for anything.

I hate this with Linux users, I dont know how to do these wonderful things but I at least want a little support.

Amazing, talk about a completely smug remark. If you did not understand that instead of being confrontational why not simply ask for clarification? By the way, that was in English.
