Based on the actual situation, I made some corrections to the online steps: To install VMware Tools correctly, follow these steps: (for VMware Server)
1. Make sure that the Virtual Operating System of VMware Tools is enabled.
2. Press CTRL + ALT to enter the master operating system and click the VMware status bar.
Install Tip, or click Vm and select install VMware Tools ....
3. Confirm the installation of VMware Tools. (VMware Tools is installed in a virtual operating system, not on a physical machine)
On the install page, there is no response. In fact, a virtual ISO file is mounted under/dev/CDROM (Virtual Linux.
# Mount-T iso9660/dev/CDROM/mnt
Load the CDROM device, then if you enter the/mnt directory, you will find an additional file: vmware-tools1.0.5.tar.gz. This is the Linux software package of wmware tools ,.
# Cp, MNT, vmware-tools1.0.5.tar.gz, TMP
Uninstall CDROM.
# Umount/dev/CDROM (Be sure to remove umount first, because the/mnt directory will be used during the next installation of VMware Tools)
# Cd/tmp
# Tar zxf vmware-tools1.0.5.tar.gz
# Cd vmware-tools-distrib
Enter the decompressed directory
# Vmware-install.pl (run installation script)
Run the installation command.
In this case, install prompts you whether to back up the previous configuration file. We recommend that you select "Y ".
Note: The following steps generally select Yes, but when you receive a prompt saying whether to manually locate GCC, select No. Remember.
4.
After VMware is installed, start the vmware-tools service.
[Root @ localhost vmware-tools-distrib] # service vmware-tools start
VMware Tools is installed, but it has not been
(Correctly) configured for the running kernel.
To (re-) configure it, invoke the following command:
/Usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl
If you want to manually locate GCC, enter NO
[Root @ localhost vmware-tools-distrib] #
End
