Press ENTER or yes to complete.

 

Alternatively, copy vmwaretools-5.3.3-20.5.tar.gz to the desktop and decompress it to the desktop.

Run the LS command to check the folder vmware-tools-distrib.

Network Connection

1. Set the network adapter attribute to Nat in the virtual machine;

For example, if the vmnet8 address is 192.168.83.1, the Ubuntu IP address is 192.168.83.128, the network segment is 192.168.83.1, And the DNS address is 192.168.83.2.

 

Fcitx installation:

Sudo apt-Get install im-switch fcitx
Im-switch-s fcitx-Z default # Note: Do not add sudo before

It is best to restart X after completing the settings, and the input method will take effect.

Fcitx settings (optional)

Kate ~ /. Fcitx/config # kubuntu
Gedit ~ /. Fcitx/config # Ubuntu
Mousepad ~ /. Fcitx/config # xubuntu

If the input column and text in the English interface are the current image of the square, you only need to modify the font in config, for example:

Show font (medium) = simsun
Show font (English) = simsun

Tip: You can set the font you like, but you must ensure that the font you use supports Chinese characters.

Fcitx input settings in locale solve some non-QT (such as Firefox/swiftfox) program input Problems

Kdesu Kate/etc/gtk-2.0/GTK. immodules # kubuntu
Gksu gedit/etc/gtk-2.0/GTK. immodules # Ubuntu
