VMware workstation virtual machines in Ubuntu for sharing with hosts (copy and paste)

After installing the virtual machine in VMware workstation, Ubuntu cannot begin to share with the host, that is, the ability to copy and paste between each other. To fix the problem, just install Vmvare tools and then restart the virtual machine Ubuntu. Under Windows virtual machine, there is an installation wizard when you install the tool, but you need to install it through the Terminal Command window under the Linux system (Ubuntu).

The first step is to select Vm->install VMware Tools on the Ubuntu menu. Then, the installation package file vmwaretools-9.2.0-799703.tar.gz for VMware Tools appears.

The second step is to extract the compressed file to the desktop or home directory in terminal.

The compressed file can be copied to the home folder, and then extracted with the decompression command to extract its tar.gz file, the extracted file name to a relatively simple name, such as "VM"

The third step of the command CD into the Extract directory VM (CD VM), there will be vmware-install.pl files.

The fourth step installs the vmware-install.pl. In the Command window, type: sudo./vmware-install.pl, and then start compiling, pressing the ENTER key until the enjoy appears.

The fifth step restarts the virtual machine Ubuntu (by setting the button in the upper right corner of the Ubuntu desktop). Otherwise, the installed VMware tools will not work.

Finally: Open the vmware-> toolbar->vm->settings->options->shared folders Point Add, and follow the prompts to add a "desktop" under Windows. folder under Windows desktop Sharing
