Root failure and VMware Tools Installation Problems in Linux system after installation

1. the Linux system has just been installed and cannot switch to the root permission. This is because the password is not created. Enter the command: sudo passwd. Follow the prompts to set the Unix Password. This password is the password when you switch to the root permission. This password is irrelevant to the password when you log on to the system. The two can be the same or different.

2. The installation of vmwaretools is good considering the convenience of subsequent operations. In/Media/(that is, the vmware-provided vmwaretools directory is hard to remember ..), There will be a compressed file named .tar and GZ, which will be decompressed to the directory under multiple users. Be sure not to decompress it to the local directory. Many errors will be reported, saying that nothing can be found and what cannot be created, for example, decompress it to tar-zxvf vmarw.ls.tar.gz-C/home/Yan/download, and then run it in the decompressed directory. vmare-instrall.pl
Then press enter all the way!

After installing vmwaretools, you can copy files under XP to Linux.

If you do not install vmwaretools and want to share files, click Options in VMware and click share .. Set, create a directory under XP, and then confirm. In Linux/mnt/HGFS/... you can see the shared folder.
