Ubuntu12.04.4 Vmware Virtual Machine Installation Summary

Ubuntu12.04.4 Vmware Virtual Machine Installation Summary

Background: Recently prepared to start a Raspberry Pi (raspberrypi), prepare for the development environment, unfortunately, small machine hard disk, but also reluctant to style Win7, so just installed virtual machine. Considering the familiarity with ubuntu12.04. Also long-term version, out of a period of time have problems to solve.

So it's useless to just Ubuntu14.04 out.

1. Vmware 7.1.6 Installation Ubuntu12.04.4

The virtual machine is too lazy to upgrade. or with the original.

Just install a problem,

Stop at retrieving file 70 of the long-term fixed

I started to think it was the cause of the Internet update, specifically selected host-only.

But still can't.

The workaround is to click on the progress bar to place the area, the Skipbutton will appear, click on the button can!

For example with

Ubuntu 12.04.4 Open Root and log on yourself

After the smooth way, pay attention to choose English, otherwise you will set up a Chinese folder. Easy appears garbled

2. Enable root to log in on its own initiative

As a development machine, nature is universal rootpassword, safe god horse, hehe

2.1 Enable root user password

sudo passwd root

2.2 Set Root to login, edit/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

[seatdefaults]allow-guest=falseautologin-user=rootautologin-user-timeout=0autologin-session= Lightdm-autologinuser-session=ubuntugreeter-session=unity-greeter

2.3 Solve the problem of no sound under root

The root cause is that PulseAudio is not started after logging in with Root.

The method is to add root to the Pulse-access group and enter the following command:

sudo usermod-a-g pulse-access Root

Then change the configuration file/etc/default/pulseaudio. Will

Pulseaudio_system_start=1

3. Networking settings 3.1 off the firewall in Ubuntu

sudo ufw disable

3.2 Virtual machine after bridging direct Internet

Sometimes even though the address is acquired. However, and the host cannot ping through. It's time to restart.

3.3 Configure Apt-get, select one of the fastest sources in the software center

All right. The test results are the source of mirror.ustc.edu.cn Zhong Ke.

Update Source Apt-get Update

3.4 Configuring SSH

Apt-get Install Openssh-server

After the installation is good, the service will initiate itself. Root is available!

3.4 Configuring Samba

Apt-get Install Samba Samba-common

Set all folders open to root, edit/etc/samba/smb.conf

[Global]netbios name = Ubuntusecurity = User[root]path=/valid users=rootpublic= yesbrowseable = yeswriteable = yes

Join the root user of Samba

Smbpasswd-a Root

4. Installing VMware Tools

That's what it is. SSH and Samba are already installed. The issue of file copy has been overcome. For performance, temporarily do not install VMware Tools think about it, forget it or install it, their active full-screen function is also very good. Never thought in the installation of Ubuntu12.04.3 smooth sailing vmwaretools.

It's so tough on the 4 version,

4.1 Preparing the installation software

View Linux Versions

[Email protected]:~# uname-alinux anne-virtual-machine 3.11.0-15-generic #25 ~precise1-ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 17:42:40 UTC i686 i686 i386 Gnu/linux

header files that need to download the appropriate Linux version number

Apt-get Install Build-essentialapt-get Install Linux-headers-3.11.0-15-generic

4.2 Downloads VMware Tools

Vmware-tools-linux-8.4.9-744570.i386.component.tar This is not correct due to host is Windows

Down again. This address

Http://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/ws/7.1.6/744570/windows/packages/tools-linux-8.4.9.exe.tar

Use WinRAR to extract the EXE to execute cmd--[file name]/E [folder name]-and then open with 7-zip. msi can extract the. iso and. SIG two files.

Unzip the ISO file to get vmwaretools-8.4.9-744570.tar.gz

4.3 Installing VMware Tools

Take vmwaretools-8.4.9-744570.tar.gz to the Linux machine, unzip it.

Okay, I made a mistake, and said kernel header was incorrect.

The associated file. Just because I can't find the files. VMware Tools doesn't think the path is valid.

cd/lib/modules/$ (uname-r)/build/include/linuxsudo ln-s. /generated/utsrelease.hsudo ln-s. /generated/autoconf.hsudo ln-s. /generated/uapi/linux/version.h

Eventually we can continue compiling: but it's not going well. Seems to be Hgfs compiled just, it seems that file sharing is not available, probably the new header file does not match it

Continue to search the Internet and see an open source project that is specifically patched for VMware Tools. Seems to be enthusiastic netizens very much ah, but this site is clear that only tested the high version of VMware. It seems that my Vmware7 can only try.

Https://github.com/rasa/vmware-tools-patches

Apt-get install git dkms patch Psmiscgit clone https://github.com/rasa/vmware-tools-patches.git# This does not understand CP Great-new.patch VMWARE-TOOLS-PATCHES/PATCHES/VMHGFSCP vmwaretools-*.tar.gz VMWARE-TOOLS-PATCHES/CD vmware-tools-patches./untar-and-patch-and-compile.sh

Put the Vmwaretools in the path folder anyway. Then execute untar-and-patch-and-compile.sh to compile the

Unfortunately, it's all kind of wrong.

The last Vmwaretools available feature is a copy of the file. Text copy. The mouse seamlessly switches. The feature that was not implemented is the host folder share. Self-active fullscreen.

It doesn't matter. Just use the command line just fine.

It is believed that VMware, which installs the high version number, can solve the problem. But I can now, too lazy to toss.

This is the first time I have finished the article with the markdown, although the Markdownpad generated PDF when the hanging off, but still sprinkle flowers.

Hey. Markdown's code effect on the CSDN is completely not AH!

Finally, the method of turning markdown code block into CSDN blog
