Article Title: Install VMware6.5 and Linux5. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.
I have never played with VMware Linux for a long time due to my work relationship. Today I am bored and re-operate the old business. I have installed a system and I don't feel much about it. I just think the version is higher, I have never touched on many new functions. It seems that I am lagging behind. I have been registering a blog for a long time and have never posted anything. I can use it to write my own experience and fill it out!
First, check that you are logged on locally. During SSH installation, a non-local login is prompted, and the operation is interrupted.
Perform the following installation first; otherwise, an error occurs during the installation:
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/Usr/src/linux/include] The directory of kernel headers (version 2.6.18-8. el5xen) does not match.
I found a lot of related content online, some people said that the rpm package to be installed is kernel-devel, after testing, after installing the kernel-devel-2.6.18-8.el5.i686.rpm package still cannot automatically find the directory of C header files, if you manually change the directory to:/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-8. e15-i686/include with errors:
The directory of kernel headers (version 2.6.18-8. el5) does not match your running kernel (version 2.6.18-8. el5xen ). even if the module were tocompile successfully, it wocould not load into the running kernel.
Solution:
[Root @ localhost ~] # Uname-r // view the kernel version
Version 2.6.18-8. el5xen // the linux kernel version I have installed
I installed the system with a CD image and found the kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-8.el5.i686.rpm package on the first disk for installation.
[Root @ localhost ~] # Rpm-ivh kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-8.el5.i686.rpm
Install Vmwar Tools
Choose VM --> install VMware Tools
[Root @ localhost ~] # Mkdir/mnt/cdrom
[Root @ localhost ~] # Mount/dev/cdrom/mnt/cdrom/
[Root @ localhost ~] # Cd/mnt/cdrom/
[Root @ localhost cdrom] # After ls
VMwareTools-6.5.0-118166.i386.rpm
VMwareTools-6.5.0-118166.tar.gz
Select the second Installation
[Root @ localhost cdrom] # cp VMwareTools-6.5.0-118166.tar.gz/tmp // copy to/tmp
[Root @ localhost cdrom] # cd/tmp/
[Root @ localhost tmp] # tar zxvf VMwareTools-6.5.0-118166.tar.gz // unpack the file
[Root @ localhost tmp] # cd vmware-tools-distrib/
[Root @ localhost vmware-tools-distrib] #./vmware-install.pl // start Installation
Press enter all the way, OK!
Go to/etc/X11/and check that xorg. conf is automatically configured.
Reboot OK!
