Summary of problems encountered during Virtual Machine installation of openSUSE11.2, Fedora12, and Ubuntu9.10

1. Installing VMwareToolsVMwareTools is a tool for full screen virtual machines and file sharing between virtual machines and hosts (I am very familiar with this because I only know these two features at present ,). The installation steps are as follows: 1. Start the Virtual Machine Software and start Linux. Click VM-& gt; InstallVMwareTools in the Virtual Machine software menu bar. 2. After Entering the Linux desktop, you will find a VMwareTools disc or VMware will pop up automatically

1. Install VMware Tools

VMware Tools is a tool that enables full-screen Virtual Machine Work and file sharing between virtual machines and hosts (for my understanding, I only know these two features at present ,). The installation steps are as follows:

1. Start the Virtual Machine Software and start Linux. Choose VM> Install VMware Tools from the VM software menu.

2. After Entering the Linux desktop, you will find a VMware Tools CD or the directory of VMware Tools will pop up automatically (automatic mounting is not required to be manually mounted ). Copy the vmwarwarls-ls-x-x.tar.gz file to a directory, which is generally the tmp directory (if you are familiar with linux commands, you can directly copy the file using the cp command ). Take copying to the tmp directory as an example:

3. Install VMware Tools with two commands:

A. Decompress vmwarw.ls-x-x.tar.gz: tar-zxvf VMwareTools-x-x.tar.gz. Pay attention to the command parameters. After decompression, the file vmware-tools-distrib/appears /.

B. cd vmware-tools-distrib, after entering this directory, you will find the vmware-install.pl file.

C. Run the./vmware-install.pl as root (use the su command to get the root permission, enter the password ).

D. Press enter all the way.

Note: When the previous VMware Tools installation is in the middle, you will be prompted to enter the displayed resolution. But it is no longer needed. 4. reboot after installation. Press ctrl + alt + enter to achieve full screen. Of course, you can also implement the file sharing function: Click the Virtual Machine menu, VM-> Settings, A Virtual Machine Settings dialog box will pop up, there are two Options, Hardware and Options, click Options. It is found that the third item has a Shared Folders so that its Always enabled, and then you can add a Shared directory.

Note: After the shared directory is set, Linux is started. After entering, open a terminal and enter the mnt directory. You can view shared files in this directory. (There should be directories under mnt)

2. Solve the problem that Fedora-12 cannot log on to X-windows with the root permission.

Under normal circumstances, if you attempt to log on to the ora-12 GUI as the root user, the system will prompt that the authorization fails. In this case, you need to modify a file:/etc/pam. d/TPD-password

1. Get the root permission, su, and enter the password.

2. vi/etc/pam. d/TPD-password

3. Enter the edit insert mode and set auth required pam_succeed_if.so user! = Root quiet: Use # To comment out the sentence.

4. reboot, you can log on as root.

Note: In the previous Fedora version, you also need to modify the/ect/pam. d/TPD file, which also includes auth required pam_succeed_if.so user! = Root quiet: Use # To comment out this sentence. However, in Fedora12, I have verified that you do not need to modify the/ect/pam. d/TPD file. You only need to modify/etc/pam. d/TPD-password.
