Solve the Problem of smooth moving of mouse pointer after installing VMware tools in Ubuntu

We all know that the first thing after the system is installed in the vmwarevirtual machine is to follow VMware tools so that the virtual system can work as normally as the driver is installed on the physical machine, in addition, the virtual machine can be better connected with the physical machine. For example, the mouse pointer can be freely switched between the virtual machine and the physical machine without pressing ctrl + Alt, you can also use the folder sharing function between the vmwarevm and the physical machine. Of course, there are many other features after installing VMware tools. This is only known after you use it.

However, after I installed Ubuntu9.04 with the original VMware workstation6.52 English version yesterday, I still cannot switch between Ubuntu and physical machines after VMware tools is installed normally, press ctrl + Alt every time, and the mouse pointer will often lead to extraordinary failures. I had to find the information on the Internet and finally solve the problem. I will share it with you.

Originally, due to VMware's failure to support Ubuntu, there were still a lot of problems after installing VMware tools. Here we will only talk about what I metHow to smoothly move the mouse pointer after installing VMware tools in Ubuntu, Careful friends will certainly find that there will be a warning before the last prompt is successful installation, because there is no, it can only be done next time.

Solution: Install xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse

Command:

 

Sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse

Then restart. As for the problem of sharing folders between Ubuntu and the host, I still haven't solved it here, because I just got in touch with Ubuntu, so there will certainly be a lot of problems in the future, I think we have encountered another problem that the input method cannot be installed. To be precise, the installation cannot be used. However, I believe that it can be solved only by taking some time. I will share it with you later!
