After updating and restarting elementary OS Freya hangs on the logo screen. I figured out that the problem cause VMware tools.
I assume that this guide should help fix it: https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2050592

But to use it I somehow should boot system with terminal. I tried to boot with live cd (try elementary before install it), mounted system partition, but when I run the config file (/usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl), I got an error (system could find libraries and kernel files), and I suppose that this error occurs because I ran the script from the live cd OS.

Any ideas how can I recover it?
