Solve The problem of "The path & quot; is not a v" when installing vmware-tools

When 64-bit Crunchbang (A Debian GNU/Linux linux Linux) is installed on a virtual machine, there are many minor problems. Among them, the installation of vmware-tools is the first problem.

When you use a terminal to install vmware-tools, press enter until the following lines are displayed.

Searching for a valid kernel header path...The path "" is not a valid path to the 3.2.0-4-amd64 kernel headers.Would you like to change it? [yes]

This means that the path of the Kernel headers header file cannot be found and must be manually entered.

But how do I know where this is :(

The solution to this problem is to install Kernel headers and reinstall vmware-tools.

Enter the following command in the terminal to install the Kernel headers.

 sudo apt- sudo apt- install build- sudo apt- install linux-headers-$(uname -r）

 

PS: it may be because VMware Workstation has limited support for Crunchbang. After vmware-tools is installed, some features still cannot be fully implemented. It is a headache for me to switch over the mouse.

Crunchbang's ssh service is also a problem, and access is always rejected. I cannot find out the cause through conventional linux commands.

Although the appearance of Crunchbang is refreshing, the design is not user-friendly and not mature enough. It is no problem for new users to try it, but it should be put into specific use, it really takes a lot of effort and time.
