Install Ubuntu in VMware to solve two problems:
1. VMware Tools Installation and use
2. Ubuntu Networked virtual machine settings
1. VMware Tools Installation
Its role is to enable users to drag files from the physical host directly into the virtual machine. If we don't install it, we can't transfer the file between the virtual machine and the physical machine, and we can't realize the real-time change of the virtual machine resolution.
After unzipping to the desktop, use the terminal to execute the. pl file for installation.
If you have just installed the Ubuntu system, you need to do a series of operations to get Linux permissions.
①, set the root of the initial password: sudo passwd, enter the user password after entering the root of the new password can be, under normal circumstances set to be the same password, can also be inconsistent.
②, Run command can be under the root user can also be under the current user, but the current user run under the need to confirm the password again.
③, running vmware-install.pl
sudo chmod + vmware-install.pl
sudo./vmware-install.pl
Then all the way yes and enter.
2. Networking issues
In fact the setup is very simple, must correspond clearly.
In the case of a wired host connection, the virtual machine settings use NAT mode, share the IP address with the host, then enable VMNET8 for the host's adapter, and set the advanced settings of their local connection for Internet access to shared mode.
Restarting the virtual machine can be done.
After the completion of these two work will be the system to update the relevant patches, installation of input methods, software source updates, etc., can be used happily.
