Full Linux running experience

Run Linux full experience-general Linux technology-Linux technology and application information. For details, refer to the following section. When I got back from the train, I chatted with Ray and found that he had a lot of professional terms I didn't know. I found that I had to make up for the computer. I have encountered some computer majors in the last two days. Open the coke box from the shelf and find a C. After reading the book for a day, I found myself very tired. I think about how to change the pre-installed version of Asus from vista to linux some time ago. Because I don't know much about linux, I read the documents on the Internet early in the morning and found that Ubuntu is more simple to use and I downloaded it.

When downloading, there are Alternate, Desktop, and DVD, and amd64 and i386. After the system is installed, there is basically no difference. I am a newbie, at least there is no difference between the text interface and the Live CD. The Desktop version is installed on the GUI with Live CD. The DVD version is the largest. Naturally, the first two features are included. It seems that many software packages are included, but the Ubuntu system software is updated very quickly. Therefore, I personally think downloading the DVD version is of little significance.

Because of the fast network speed, I went to the i386 version of alternate and desktop. I found online that if the dual system is complicated, I didn't understand it for at least half a day. It does not seem that the fat32 and ntfs formats are used in windows, and they need to be partitioned. According to the statement on the Internet, it is good for new users to learn by virtual machine. Follow these steps:

To install:
Step 1: download and install VMware Workstation and the Ubuntu ISO Image
VMware Workstation I used this
Note: It is best to download the full version. Otherwise, the installation of VMware Tools will be very depressing, because the lite version will generally streamline the installation image of VMware Tools in Linux, however, it is difficult to find a download on the Internet.
Ubuntu I'm downloading alternate version 7.10, because it's Intel's CPU So download is i386, that is, ubuntu-7.10-alternate-i386.iso, it's easy to find, I won't give it. As to why alternate is downloaded, rather than other versions, this is because I read the previous Wiki about installing Ubuntu on a virtual machine on the Internet, which requires installation in text mode, and the DVD is too large for download, I will add the differences between Ubuntu Versions later.

Step 2: Run VMware Workstation to create a new Virtual Machine
Steps:
Create a VM
Next step
Select Custom
Select WorkStation 6 (of course, the newer the better)
Select Linux and Ubuntu (here I want to install Ubuntu)
Fill in as you like (the location does not matter and does not occupy any space)
Select one processor (maybe because I am a dual-core processor)
Recommended memory size values (not too small, too big will affect the running of the host system)
If you want to directly access the Internet through a virtual machine, select NAT.
The default I/O adapter is enough.
Create a new disk
Default type
Disk size, if the remaining space of the hard disk is so large, it will be enough by default. It is said that it will be difficult to adjust it later if it feels inappropriate.
If you do not select "allocate all disk space immediately", the occupied disk space will increase with the use of the virtual machine system, rather than occupying the large space immediately, so you do not have to worry about space issues, if the disk type is not NTFS, we recommend that you select split disk as 2 GB File
We recommend that you create a folder under the partition with a large remaining space and put it in it.
The last step is OK.

Step 3: install the system
Steps:
Click "Virtual Machine" on the menu bar and then "set"
Click CD-ROM, select use ISO image, select load downloaded Ubuntu Image
When a virtual machine is running, the virtual machine is automatically started from the CD image.
Because it is alternate edition, select the first option directly, that is, install from text format
Then select the language and country and region as needed.
Then select the keyboard, select the default English keyboard for the thief, and then the system will automatically search for hardware
Later, host names, user names, and passwords were set.
Then there is no good choice, the system will automatically search for hardware and install the system, and will connect to the network to download language packs, etc, if the computer was not connected to the Internet at that time, it would be okay to wait for a while. I was installed on the Internet, so I didn't encounter similar problems. However, I didn't see any similar problems on the Internet, so I only needed to wait in this process, be patient. Some processes will be stuck for a long time. I have been stuck for about half an hour when I have a process (I don't remember it). Fortunately, it is a virtual machine that can install the system while doing anything else.
Of course, if the time is too long, for example, more than an hour, restart the Virtual Machine and reinstall it.
The Linux system does not know what is going on. The second action may be different from the first result.
I used the same steps to install Ubuntu. After the first installation, it was a semi-Chinese and semi-English interface, and I was unable to update the Language Pack. Instead, I had to reinstall it. As a result, the second installation was completely normal, it is useful to try again in use.
When it comes to an end, you will need to choose the resolution of the system. You just need to select the resolution. (In fact, if you select the resolution too high, I don't know what the consequences will be. In case of a magic problem, do not take risks)
Finally, the system requires that the machine (Virtual Machine) be restarted. After restart, the Ubuntu interface will be displayed.

Step 4: Install VMware Tools
It is said that the installation of VMware Tools is equivalent to the installation of Virtual Machine graphics card driver, if not Installed VMware Tools, the virtual machine resolution will be very low
But I did not find this problem. Before I install this file, it is displayed as normal, and no improvement has been found after the installation, but there are more options such as instant customer and Adaptation Window, and the mouse can be moved out of the virtual system at any time (do not press Ctrl + Alt), but these are also very practical.
Steps:
Click "Virtual Machine" on the menu bar and then "Install VMwre Tools". Then, the disk of VMware Tools (loaded with Linux. iso image) will appear in the system drive of the virtual machine ).
Enter the terminal and use the command line to install
Click "Application" at the top of the VM screen, then "attachment", and then select "Terminal)
At this time, a white window appears, which contains command line operations. This is the terminal window. We need to use basic Linux commands to install VMware Tools.

Set the root user password to enter the root user
The operation requires the root user permission. First, you need to set the root user password (the root user cannot be used if the root user password is not set)
In the terminal window
Enter sudo passwd root (The sudo command allows common users to execute commands as root users)
After you press enter, the system will prompt you to enter the current user password, and then set the root user password. After you set OK, a prompt will be displayed.
Then enter the su command to obtain the root user's command and File Usage permissions (the command exit or press Ctrl + D to exit)

Go to the VMware Tools directory
Enter cd/media
Input ls
Find the optical drive, my is cdrom
Enter cd/cdrom

Copy the installation file to the root directory (we need to unpack the file, but the optical drive cannot be written)
Input ls
Files in the optical drive are listed on the screen.
Because I have installed ubuntu (not a red flag), I cannot directly use the rpmpackage, so I choose to use a common tar.gz package for installation.
Enter the cp VMwareTools-6.0.0-45731.tar.gz/(the version number after VMwareTools varies depending on the virtual machine version, but the format is the same, according to the corresponding input of your own virtual machine, pay attention to the case when entering)

Switch to the root directory
Input cd/

Run the extract command to decompress the tar package.
Input tar vzxf VMwareTools-6.0.0-45731.tar.gz

Switch to the vmware-tools-distrib directory
Enter cd vmware-tools-distrib/

Install VMware Tools
Input./vmware-install.pl

Next, press Enter.

I encountered some amazing problems during the installation process. The files in the optical drive are not the installation files of VMware Tools. After restarting the virtual machine, the system will be normal.

At this point, the system is basically installed.
The next step is to change the source, install the Language Pack and other configurations.
I have not changed the source, so I will not elaborate on it. If necessary, Google should easily get the answer
Install the Language Pack in "system", "system management", and "Language Support". After the pack is turned on, the system automatically prompts you to update and install the pack.
