• Problem installing vmware in Ubuntu 11.10 tools

  I've upgraded from vmware workstation 7 to 8 on a windows 7 pro workstation. I've added to my VM - 11.10 Ubuntu guest. Now I have a problem installing vmware tools.  That's what I did:

  ((1) installed Ubuntu 11.10 CD in the drive, 2) open vmware and Tools CD added to office.  (3) connect you open terminal window.and.  Since I'm new to Linux, I'm stuck on how to set a password.  I type sudo passwd root, and I can't type anything in the window.

  Ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

  You have two questions unrealated

  (1) with respect to the OS - Ubuntu 11.10 - these shoud guest invited on ubuntuforums.org Creafe a connection there and ask in the beginner's forum.

  Tip - You don't really have need a password for root in Ubuntu.  Use you sudo to run root permisssions wherer programs are needed.  He said on top of each terminal.

  (2) you have any questions on how to install VMware Tools in a Linux (Ubuntu 11.10) Guest.  You most certainly need assistance with this.  In the toolbar of the program, you will see a tab called "Help".  It only contained other information you are looking for.

  See the sections on VMware Tools.   They are really useful!

  Tip: You do not use the OS installation disc that you used to create the virtual machine. Look closely under the VM tab at the top. There will be an option in the drop-down list that says "The Install Vmware Tools" you need to select this option.  The insatll will be mounted as if by magic in SLE directory/Media in the comments.  Copy the tarred on this cdrom in / tmp.  Then naviagate (carefully) in / tmp and unpack the file you copied.  Carefully change (look at you spelling - do what I say - not as I do in this post!) to the directoyrf that was created.  Exceute as su (i.e. root - like in the 1 trick.)  the .pl program wiil be contain breast.  Technically, this is called a "script" don't forget to put a. / before the script name or the bad dthing don't know he lives there.  He will ask youj on many issues.  Answer Yes to all these thatg you can.  Most likely, he will say he does not find the gcc compiler (gcc to learn more about the new program of thisbrfand the man.  He complains of missing headers.  Exit the script (Ctrl + c).  Run a progarlm (as root!) called apt - get.  Type the command apt - get install build-esseential.  Thatt is going to install the compiler you need!   Yes still needs to install the header ogical file well! Phew!  The best way I found to do this is to install a nifty program called synaptic. Use apt - get install synaptic.  I think that Ubuntu even comes with a somewahat more easy to program called apt - get it will tell you and have fun there no Super Powers mean if you type an incorrect order!   I digress from the subject.   So, you can use use "sudo aptitude install synaptic l.  Now issue the command uname - r.  He sleeps on the same kernel you use since I use Ubuntu 11.10 asI type while I'm about to uplgrade to the very scary Ubuntu 12.04.  You don't want to do it yourself.

  3.0.0 - 12-Generic

  Now launch Synaptic.  There will be a message the first time on the program expalining.  If you want to see it every time to understand this program if y0ou forget don't check the box saying you don't wang to see this every time.  BTW youi will be asked for your root passworfd to run the program.  Hope you rfemembered it!

  In any case in the search box copy, then paste the result above (one that ends with - generic - but anything copylthe) there will be l be a long list of items, but choose the one that has the string above and the word "headers".  Insatll who.  After all it can return to the order which took end. / pl and run it once more.  Answere questions.  It will end with the encouraging words (you can take advantage of the VMware Tools.  Then, run the command - vmware-toolbox as it says.

  F well there you have it in short.  My price for Linux and Mwar advice is reawsonable please contact me at one of my addresses, alias - [email protected] and we can talk about payment.

• Cannot install VMware Tools on Ubuntu VM

  I'm not having any success installing VMware Tools on a Ubuntu VM.

  If I try to use the GUI and click twice on the

  8.8.2 - VMwareTools - 590212.tar.gz file, I get "the content of the folder could.

  not be displayed. Operation not supported".

  I don't remember what I used in another attempt, but got, 'Extraction do not run. You

  don't have the appropriate permissions to extract archives in the folder

  ""file:///media/VMware%20Tools"

  If I right click on VMwareTools - 8.8.0 - 471268.tar.gz I choose "Open".

  With Archive Manager' which takes me to the vmware-tools-distrib

  file, where I can double-click that expose the content. There I

  see the vmware - install.pl folder and double-click the same, but nothing seems to happen.

  I tried to use the CLI, and I saw so many different suggestions

  (tar - xvf, - xvzf with and without the "-"). I get "Archive not found."

  If I opened a terminal in the folder/media/VMware Tools and enter:

  sudo tar - xvzf VMwareTools - 8.8.2 - 590212.tar.gz

  then it looks like it all begins is extracted for almost a

  minutes and then I get:

  "Smoothly with State failure due to previous errors"

  and if I scroll to the top news, the screen is loaded with ' no file or.

  Directory"(many times) to what whatever in the vmware-tools-distrib

  folder.

  I'm new to Linux and VMware... Please be gentle.

  Thank you.

• How to install VMware Tools in Ubuntu guest with no Internet connectivity?

  I need to install VMware Tools in a Guest Ubuntu (10.04) running in VMware Player.

  The machine on which it is running has no internet access; It is part of an isolated network.

  I know there are a LOT of instructions on how to do it, and it seems that they all begin with "mount your ISO file...". ' or "click"Install VMware Tools..."."

  Of course, I have not and cannot find a file ISO of VMware tools for Ubuntu.  I admit that I can be looked in the wrong place, but I watched several times and have spent many hours on it.   I tried Open VM Tools as well and followed the instructions included, but orders did not produce the responses described.

  When I click on "Install VMware Tools" the machine just made several attempts to connect to a server that will never happen.

  Although it does not prove that I know what I'm doing, I installed VMware Tools on several hosts of Windows XP.  For some reason, I was able to find many versions of VMware Tools for Windows ISO.  The installation worked everytime with very little hair loss.

  Thanks for any help on this eternal question.

  You will need to download the ISO images for the VMware Tools installation media at least once, on a computer with internet access.  Player menu--> File--> Preferences of the player.  Click on the button download now all components.  Once complete, there will be 6 ISO files in the folder of the player.  You can copy them to the same location on the PC that you are currently underway.  Then, you can follow the instructions to install VMware Tools in a Linux Guest, located in the help file.

• How to install VMware Tools on Ubuntu 9.10 guest?

  Hello!

  I have VMware 6.5.3 for Windows. I installed Ubuntu 9.10 32-bit and I don't know how to install tools guest inside Linux. Guest Windows, it's a blink of an eye, but here are more complicated. Can someone help me with step by step tutorial how to install this on Ubuntu 9.10? I'm newbie here.

  When I click the button to install the tools I just get open File Browser with the file .txt, RPM and gz. Any file I click on I can't run Setup. Please help!

  It's a little more complicated because each OS has a core (all about that), and Linux, you can have different versions of kernel.  Thus, the shell script (files ending in .sh) compiles all the binaries against what you have.  I believe that the version of Ubuntu has headers of the kernel with it, so that you would do is:

  1. go to places, downloads (the desktop menu bar)

  2. find your gz file, right click and select Extract here (I normally do it from the command-line using tar - zxvf, but this should work too)

  3. open this directory, right-click on the vmware-install file and select "Run as a program" (in this way you can kick it off)

  4. open a terminal (command prompt) and cd to that directory (should be cd downloads/vmware-tools-distrib)

  5. Type sudo./vmware-install.sh

  6. Enter your password when prompted, then go with the default values, and you should be set.  Make sure to run the configuration script (it will ask you if you want to, and you do, but if you mess up that part you can run it later so no biggie) and then sign out and sign back in.  You should not need to reboot and everything should work immediately.

  At boot, you might see no ERROR.  It's probably the HGFS mount is not working due to no shared directories.  Don't worry about this for now.  If it bugs you, you can comment on him in/etc/fstab (but don't mess with it until you're a bit better).  Snapshots are your friend, so use it as your rescue as trash several times your VM Linux, because it will happen.

• Help - installed VMware and Windows 7 and I can not see my Windows desktop

  Hello

  This could be really basic, but I can't seem to get by:

  I just installed VMware 8 on a new Macbook Pro (OS El Capitan).

  I then installed Windows 7, apparently successfully, all the way up to Windows installation was finished and I went to open the virtual machine for the first time.  The office opened very well, but when I went to maximize this mode full-screen, I essentially disappeared.  She is obviously still ongoing, as he urged on antivirus McFee, that I installed it successfully.

  In the library, the virtual machine appears grey, with a basket and McFee icon.

  

  I tried to uninstall the machine and install again, but the same thing happened...

  Any ideas?

  In fact, here is a better description of what's going on...

  You are in mode of "unity".

  It is a "cache" mode the windows desktop and allows access to applications as they were Mac apps.

  In your menu bar, there is an icon for the merge, and you can launch Windows apps from there.

  Alternatively, you can simply use "Single window" or mode "full screen" for the traditional windows back office.

  The button to switch is in the "View" menu

  Hope that helps!

• How to install vmware tools in a virtual machine running in the drive on an Ubuntu host?

  I have a host of Ubuntu (Ubuntu LTS 14.04.2)

  I have a virtual of Fedora (4.0.4 - 301.fc22.x86_64) and I would like to install vmware tools in the virtual machine.

  When I select the player VirtualMachine-> reinstall VMware Tools...

  I get a prompt in a box on the screen.  It is said:

  The following software are available for download:

  VMware Tools for Linux version 9.9.3

  What do you do?

  X Cancel |  Download and install

  Of course I choose to download and install (kind of silly question - why I want to cancel?)

  So instead of download the tools I want to install, it says:

  Your permission is required to install an update to VMware.

  Please enter the root password to move forward.

  Password: __________

  not serious.  Now, he's looking for what root password?  The virtual machine or the host?

  I have try the virtual machine and it works-not "incorrect password... try again."

  ... well Ubuntu is not a root user.  So, I try the password for the user with root privileges

  "incorrect password... try again."

  Then, he does not.

  Not very satisfying.

  The instructions that I found in my research right you will say to take the step to obtain the Tools package then (well, nothing of the rest of it is important if the tools are not available to me).

  Suggestions?  Advice?

  The required password is for the host.

  A workaround of functions is "sudo su -" of ubuntu host, then start vmplayer from the root prompt.  You must browse the virtual machine since the user doesn't have a history of openness yet... but then there is no prompt asking for a password when you try to download the tools.

  You want to install VMware Workstation 11.1.1 on new 8.1 Windows Pro 64-bit PC.

  I had VMware Workstation 11.1.0, and deleted the original installer but did not finish the installation of the new version

  The installer gets about 2/3 way (progress bar) and then crashes, Windows Installer says Event Viewer hung.

  Race tried without firewall and AV, always not install question

  A ran the installer with / clean option and then tried again, but still he did not finish the installation process (crashes at the same place)

  Noticed in the Manager tasks that VMware Installer runs at about 14% of CPU, but nothing happens

  I'm really at a loss as to why I can't install VMware Workstation 11.1.1, all the other soft\ware settles very well.

  Please could someone help me?

  Thank you

  The filesystem (vmhgfs module) driver is used only for the shared folder

  regardless of this function.

  If you want the shared folders feature, you can install the driver of

  running vmware-config - tools.pl once after being assured that gcc, binutils, make

  and your kernel sources are installed on your computer.

  These packages are available on the installation of your distribution CD.

  Seems to work fine with the tools in the recent update to VMware Fusion 6.0.3:

  Certainly the tools should be updated in order to support a view recent guests of Ubuntu Unity (disabled, sofar, also with 6.0.3 + 14.04): maybe in Fusion 6.1, who knows...

  Hi akpraveenand welcome to the VMware communities!

  Your laptop has Avast! Antivirus installed?  We have seen some recent reports of Avast! origin of the failure you see there.  If you have Avast! installed, you will need to uninstall temporarily to be able to install VMware Workstation (disabling Avast! is not enough).

  If you use another system antivirus or antimalware software, it may be interesting to try to disable it during the installation of VMware Workstation.

  Let us know if that solved the problem for you!
