Fedora Core 6 vmware-tools installation process (reprinted) these days, the virtual machine has installed Fedora Core 6 and the VMware tool has been successfully installed. Refer to some articles on the Internet, based on your practical experience. Below we will record the specific implementation process for your reference! 1. Install GCC development tools # Install software called by VMware Tools
Yum install gcc
2. Install the Kernel File # Install kernel header files
Yum install kernel-devel
3. Check whether the Kernel File version matches. If the file version does not match, upgrade it. # Check it matches the running kernel.
Uname-R # running kernel
Rpm-Q kernel-devel # installed kernel Headers
4. If the value does not match 3rd, You need to upgrade the Kernel File. After the upgrade, restart the system.
# It the two versions do not match, run
Yum-y upgrade kernel-devel
# Then reboot (but only if they did not match ).
5. Find the location of the kernel file. It is required to install the vmware-Tool. (when I install the tool, it will be automatically found and does not need to be manually specified.) # Find out where the kernel headers are
Ls-D/usr/src/kernels/$ (uname-R) */include
# You may need this later.
7. Download the Virtual Machine Tool installation package, that is, the vmware-tool installation package, and decompress it. (click "VM"-> "Install VMware Tools" on the Virtual Machine toolbar. The installation package appears, select *. files in GZ can be extracted to a directory)
The following are the specific implementation methods in the command line. I implemented them in the graphic interface.
# If you are already have VMwareTools-5.5.2-29772.tar.gz on disk, skip this step!
# Download VMware-workstation-5.5.2-29772.tar.gz from vmware.com
# Extract the VMware Tools ISO from it
Tar -- strip-components = 3-zxvf VMware-workstation-5.5.2-29772.tar.gz/
Vmware-distrib/lib/isoimages/Linux. ISO
# Create a temporary mount point
Mkdir/mnt/vmtools-Temp
# Mount the image
Mount-o loop Linux. ISO/mnt/vmtools-Temp
# Copy VMware Tools from the Mount
CP/mnt/vmtool-temp/VMwareTools-5.5.2-29772.tar.gz/tmp/
# Unmount the image and tidy up
Umount/mnt/vmtools-Temp
Rmdir/mnt/vmtools-Temp
Rm Linux. ISO # unpack VMware Tools to a temporary directory
CD/tmp/
Tar zxvf VMwareTools-5.5.2-29772.tar.gz
8. Enter the decompressed target directory, execute the following code, and press Enter.
CD/tmp/vmware-tools-distrib/
/Vmware-install.pl
# Do you want to run vmware-config-tools.pl? Yes 9. modify the configuration file. This step can also be performed in the graphic interface. Open/etc/X11/Xorg. conf, add the response field according to the instructions below, save it, and restart the system.
# Fix Xorg config
# If when you (re) Start X, you get the error "undefined monitor" VMware "..":
VI/etc/X11/Xorg. conf
# Add the lines
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "VMware"
Endsection
# To add better mouse support, add the lines
Section "inputdevice"
Identifier "mouse0"
Driver "vmmouse"
Option "protocol" "Auto"
Option "device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
Endsection
# Then find the "serverlayout" section, and in that section, add the line
Inputdevice "mouse0" "corepointer"
# Todo fix vmhgfs compile (currently broken)
# Todo fix Fast Ethernet driver compile (currently broken)
# Todo copy and paste broken
This is the entire installation process, and the red part is the part that addresses the display and mouse. Install the above operation!
So far, the installation of VMware Tools is complete.
PS: to easily paste and copy between guest OS and Host OS, you must first start vmware-toolbox and add it to the startup script once and for all!
