Install VM tools in red hat 5 under VM to implement full desktop resolution

 

Author: graynight

Assume that you are in the graphic interface:

Start your linux and select VM -- install vmware tools from the VM menu. In this way, the linux under the installation path of your VM is automatically loaded in the optical area. iso file, which is provided by the VM itself. If the VM version is newer, it may be automatically downloaded online and then installed. When you enter the optical area, you will see 2 packages, .rpmand .gz. We recommend that you use the latter.

Right-click a shell terminal and run the following command to install it:

[Root @ GxCentos ~] # Cd/media/VMware \ Tools // enter the Optical Area

[Root @ GxCentos VMware Tools] # cp VMwareTools-8.4.3-282343.tar.gz/tmp // copy VM to/tmp directory

[Root @ GxCentos VMware Tools] # cd/tmp // enter tmp

[Root @ GxCentos tmp] # tar-zxvf VMwareTools-8.4.3-282343.tar.gz // extract the file you just copied in the current folder (the file name here may be different because of the VM version issue)

[Root @ GxCentos tmp] # cd vmware-tools-distrib // enter the extracted Files directory.

[Root @ GxCentos vmware-tools-distrib] #./vmware-install.pl // run this file to start Installation

 

If no problem occurs, click YES or press enter until the resolution is selected and the setting is complete.

Do you want to change the starting screen display size? (Yes/no) [no]

Then you will succeed.
