• The purpose of VMware Tools in a Linux guest?

  There are benefits to install VMware tools in a Linux without head/command line only VM?  The only things I see it adding would share his IP address info.  Are there features that I miss out on by installing do not?

  Indeed, as the RPM and tar from the instructions in file ends with "Start X Windows", it seems that it is not designed for anything other than the GUI (for mouse tracking/display setting enhancements)?

  With VMware tools, you can make things easier. For example, you can do 'clean shutdown' of the machine virtual of ESXi, or synchronize the time between ESXi and VM. I'm not sure but I think that vmware balooning pilot would need tools to work correctly.

  But you can still live without vmware-tools and perform all of the above tasks (although not as easily). Personally, I don't use vmware-tools with linux-VM as modular kernel is not permitted in our society.

• 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:

  

  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

  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.

• VMware tools to install Linux is broken in desktop 8.0.4

  Cannot copy the source fichier./installer/services.sh to the destination of the file etc/vmware-tools/services.sh.

  The execution is canceled.

  
  

  Setup of # ls

  Thus, it seems that this file is missing from the image of tools that comes with workstation 8.0.4 for Windows 7.

  Is there any solution for this?

  Thus, it seems that this file is missing from the image of tools that comes with workstation 8.0.4 for Windows 7.

  The file is not missing, I'm interested in it right now in archive of gun zipper VMwareTools - 8.8.4 - 743747.tar.gz located in the VMware Tools for VMware Workstation 8.0.4 linux.iso file.

  FWIW, I always install VMware Tools on Linux from a root shell (su - (including Ubuntu)) and the cd vmware-tools-distrib directory and start the installation simply with ./vmware-install.pl just like the instructions say to do, and it usually works without problem by providing that the prerequisites are met.

• Install vmware tools on the linux host offline

  Hello world

  I run a Fedora 10 VM using vmware player 3.1.2 on a crowd of Ubuntu 10.04. I'm trying to install vmware tools, but my host doesn't have access to the internet.  I've seen a few posts on how to install vmware tools offline on a windows host (http://communities.vmware.com/thread/245195), but the advice given may not be valid for linux hosts.  I downloaded vmware-tools-linux - 8.4.4 - 301548.x86_64.component.tar of http://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/ but this tar file contains a .component file (not an .iso that post said).  My question is what I should do with the .component file to install vmware tools?

  Thanks in advance,

• How the news works of linux vmware-tools associated with the support of actions HGFS?

  Just to clarify, if it is possible to get from VMware Tools for Linux Guest users qualified/developer/maintainer.

  If memory serves me right, from 12 Workstation, VMware Tools for modified Linux related with the way it handles stocks HGFS.

  Installation of VMware tools on many Linux guests, I always see the same behavior.

  In some installations it build hgfs module, in others it seems fair to connect on vmhgfs-fuse executable. No module hgfs not charged in this case of the kernel then HGFS works as expected.

  Exactly how it works under the hood, how to install VMware Tools/config, can determine whether it is necessary to build the module or just run vmhgfs-fuse?

  Well, strange person, not even VMware guys come on this subject. IMHO is a really interesting thing, I almost always use shared folders between guests and hosts, it's so easy and simple WHEN IT WORKS.

  The fact that no-one comes on this thread, show what I think always: products like workstation are profoundly less used, average people IMHO use 30/40 per cent of the potential software.

  Then, with a few hours and a few Linux guests many kind in hand machines (work with tools in both modes, hgfs.ko or fuse), investigated and found how it works by myself.

  This is what I found.

  Recent versions of VMware Tools for Linux now seems to check the fuse package installed on guest system installed and when they found him, they try to use vmhgfs-fuse (formerly an Open-vm-tools executable) to mount hgfs actions without the need of the hgfs.ko module and so without needing to compile the module often broken kernel. For example, hgfs.ko thin build up to kernel branch 4.4 and it is broken again on 4.5.

  The script vmware-config - tools.pl also seems power - also when it detects the fuse package - properly configure autostart for hgfs share.

  That's all, and it's very useful for me. Hope it will be for others.

  What is the difference between VMware Tools and Open Virtual Machine Tools?

  Copy and paste this question into Google!

  By chance, you have your repository in order to always download the latest version?

  I use only VMware tools and always uninstall first Open Virtual Machine Tools and also use - clobber-kernel-modules = if necessary when installing the VMware Tools on the distributions that have Open Virtual Machine Tools installed.

• Installation on Ubuntu Linux 9.04 VMWare tools

  I've just updated Ubuntu Linux 9.04, and when I start the VM in VM Ware Fusion on my MacBook Pro I get a message saying that VMware Tools are not installed. Everything works fine, I just got the message. I clicked on install VMWare tools, but he opens a folder with a bunch of files, and I'm not particularly Linux savvy (I'm familiar with the basics of UNIX in OS X, but not Linux).

  Could someone help me get the VMWare tools updated on Linux?

• How to prevent the VMware Tools reset the size of my text on 4 k display

  Hello

  I use 12 Workstation on a Dell XPS 15 9550 with a native resolution of 3840 x 2160 (4 k).  I was able to move on virtual machines running Win 7 from another system where the virtual machines were running at a resolution of 1920 x 1080.  These virtual machines are now running at 1920 x 1080 on the Dell.  (I did it by using the VM settings > display and set a max and running full screen resolution).  The problem is that the text and icons are displayed at 150% the size. I can use the Win 7 Desktop > resolution to 100% and everything is the way I need it, but when I do this change, VMware Tools appears saying that I need to log out and back in.  If I do this the text/icons are at 150%.

  How can I get VMware Tools to stop the reset of this size from 100% to 150%?

  Thank you.

  Here is the solution:

  > Turn on the virtual machine.

  > Click VM > settings > select view.

  > Uncheck the option scale to display "automatically adjust the size of the user interface on the VM.

  > Disconnect and connect when VMware Tools invites.

  > You can now change the font size in the virtual machine to 100%.

  > Disconnect and connect.

• VMware tools

  When I decide to use the style pension RHEL based tools vmwrae, I take a step back, he me reason not to do so, update-tools-NoReboot - RunAsync, pls correct me if wrong

  I think that only works when we have the tools are installed using the mount traditinal CD

  Also it is a big limitation, Vmware release new patches every 2 to 3 months, now, if we have repo in a central nas mount, we need to upgrade this repo often so if you said Chief revenue you must update etc, update-Tools is so much easier with update-tools is easier and does not need updated repo & updated recipes from the head (for that matter puppet thing), all entries or suggestion or am I missing something here?

  Thank you

  As far as I know, Yes.

  RHEL based repository is intended for virtual computers that run a Linux guest operating system.

  And Yes, you will maintain this directory.

  The advantage is that you can install/upgrade VMware Tools in your Linux virtual machines in the same way as other SW packages.

  The cmdlet Update-Tools works only in ESXI ISO files.

• 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.
