I am new to Ubuntu and I can't understand how to install VMWare Tools - what I need to do this from a command line?  Any guidance would be appreciated.

To manually install, choose computer virtual > install VMware Tools, a file must window popup with VMwareTools - 8.2.3 - 204229.tar.gz you can right click to expand only in / tmp.  Then in Applications > Accessories > Terminal, cd to/tmp/vmware-tools-distrib and run sudo./vmware-install.pl

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How to install VMware tools correctly on Linux Mint 15 cinnamon on Fusion 5.0.3

    Hello

    First of all, I understand that Linux Mint is not supported (side: anyone know if this will change?), so I appreciate any help.  My main problem is with the folders shared

    Dead ends

    So far, I've run into some dead ends:

    1. I watched install VMware Tools in Linux Mint 15 cinnamon (Olivia) - YouTube - but this facility has been the "'VMware Workstation 9.0.2 ' and the author admits"I don't know if it works or not with the fusion." "

    2 I downloaded a a copy of the latest vmwaretools for linux of deposit of CDS - /www/stage/session-32/cds/vmw-desktop/fusion/5.0.3/1040386/packages only to find it was exactly the same as the package vmwaretools this merger gives me at least VMwareTools - 9.2.2 - 893383

    Some success

    I had some mild success by running the following commands before installing - it seems to stop error messages:

    apt-get update

    sudo apt-get install build-essential

    sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`

    sudo apt-get install xinetd

    But my MAJOR PROBLEM IS...

    When I try to activate the shared folders while the guest is running, I see a message:

    VMware folder sharing failure.jpg

    Or if I turn on shared folders when the guest does NOT work, I don't get an error message - but I don't see either record hgfs under/MNT

    Other research

    I read can't see the shared folders in Linux guest (Windows host) and Re: sharing files on drive betw host and the guest does not work on Ubuntu 13.04 and even tried to run the script vmtoolspatch of WoodyZ of this post - with the following result:

    user@GNS3WB62 /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib $ ./vmtoolspatch

    Apply anyway? [n] y

    Hunk #1 succeeded at 62 with fuzz 2 (offset 12 lines).

     

     

    To install VMware Tools type the following

    commands, pressing Enter after each:

     

     

    cd /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib

    sudo ./vmware-install.pl

    But after the installation of the VMware shared folders tools has not always worked.

    My plea

    Someone has successfully shared folder with Linux Mint 15 cinnamon (32 bit - no codecs) invited 5.0.3 fusion and if so could you share the steps that you used?

    My system Details

    I tried this using VMware Fusion 5.0.3 in both a

    MacMini running Lion Server (OS X 10.7.5) 2 GHz Intel Core i7 16 GB of DDR3 memory and a

    MacBook Pro running 2.8 GHz Intel Core Duo 8 GB DDR3 (OS X 10.8.4) Mountain Lion

    I have only this tried using Linux Mint 15 cinnamon (32 bit - no codecs)

    Well, starting with the basic installation created by using the linuxmint-15-cinnamon-dvd-nocodecs-32bit.iso image under VMware Fusion 5.0.3 I did the following.

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

    sudo ln-s/usr/src/linux-headers-$ (uname-r)/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname-r)/include/linux/version.h

    Excerpt from vmtoolspatch.zip in my Home Directory.

    Excerpt from the VMware Tools VMwareTools - 9.2.2 - 893683.tar.gz to: / tmp

    Open a Terminal, by default, the base directory, then:

    wkz@linuxmint15x86nc ~ $. / vmtoolspatch

    patch the file driver.c

    patching file inode.c

    To install VMware Tools, type the following command

    commands, pressing ENTER after each:

    CD/tmp/vmware-tools-distrib

    sudo./VMware-install.pl

    wkz@linuxmint15x86nc ~ $ cd/tmp/vmware-tools-distrib

    wkz@linuxmint15x86nc/tmp/vmware-tools-distrib $ sudo./vmware-install.pl

    Once VMware Tools have been installed, I rebooted and had access to the VMware shared folders.

    So it works with the basic install however I do not run apt - get update then apt - get upgrade or use one kernel other then the default.  So once the changes then the scrip may not work and I don't have time to test each variable and am just trying to give some automated solution just to make it easier to patch based on what is said in the Notes section in the script.  Really don't want to maintain it and others can build on this and or do something similar.

    Make sure that the stamp of Date/time on the file vmtoolspatch is Jul 15 00:04:00 2013 as who has worked with this test.
