1. First download VMware Tools for Linux, below is a download link http://vmware.cn/Soft/UploadSoft9f4/VMware%20Workstation%206.02%C2%CC%C9% AB %BE% AB %BC%F2%D3%A2%CE%C4%B0%E6/vmware_tools_linux.rar
2. Decompress a Linux. ISO file. This is the installation CD image of the tools tool. In advance you must install linux correctly, I installed ubuntu8.04, on the VM click "Edit Virtual Machine Settings", CD-ROM mode to "use ISO image", select Linux. ISO, OK
3. start the operating system of your virtual machine, switch out the mouse, select the main menu "Virtual Machine" --> "Install VMware Tools", UBUNTU will automatically find the CDROM, directly create a desktop icon. You can see two files: VMwareTools-xxx-i386.rpm and vmwarw.ls-xxx.tar.gz. Rpm is the RedHat installation package. Here we should use the GZ file to copy the GZ file directly to the desktop, decompress it, and generate a vmware-tools-distrib directory.
4. Open the terminal and jump to the vmware-tools-distrib directory on the desktop. Enter the following command: $ sudo. /vmware-install.pl (enter your password will prompt after the press enter, and the password will not be displayed, indicating that you will execute an action with more advanced permissions-install software; again press enter to start installation)
5. There will be a series of confirmation issues during the installation process, similar to the Windows Installation Wizard prompt, press enter all the way, use the default method.
6. If the installation is successful, the system will prompt you to select the default resolution for the desktop environment. Resolution can be adjusted later.
7. After installation, the mouse pulley may not work properly. To solve this problem, open the terminal and enter:
$ Sudo gedit/etc/X11/Xorg. confThis command enables the system to open the/etc/X11/Xorg. conf file with the root permission. Put
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"Change
Option "Protocol" "imps/2 ".Save and restart ubuntu.
Supplement: After VMWare has installed ubuntu8.04 and VMware Tools, file sharing between real and virtual systems still exists, and files cannot be directly dragged from external windows into the virtual system. Mounting a USB flash drive or partitioning is also troublesome. Later, I wanted to use the optical drive to make the file to be shared into an ISO file under windows, and then load it into the optical drive. I can directly open it in the virtual Optical Drive.
The scene ends when it comes to the site.
