Editor to share with you how to install the CD image of Ubuntu VMware, I believe that most people do not know much about it, so share this article for your reference, I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article, let's go to know it!

Click-VM-Install Ubuntu VMware Tools on the Ubuntu VMware menu

At this point, the installation CD image of the Linux version of Ubuntu VMware Tools will be automatically loaded under Ubuntu. You will see that a CD icon named Ubuntu VMware Tools appears on the desktop of the virtual machine and is opened automatically. It includes Ubuntu VMwareTools-xxx-i386.rpm and Ubuntu VMwareTools- xxx.tar.gz files.

If you double-click the rpm file, you will be prompted for an unsupported package, because rpm is an installation package for RedHat, and we need the .tar.gz one. Copy the .tar.gz file to the desktop, right-click the menu-unzip it here. Will automatically extract to a Ubuntu VMware-tools-distrib directory.

Open the terminal (system's application menu-attachments-terminal) and execute the following command line at one time:

$cd Desktop

$cd Ubuntu VMware-tools-distrib

$sudo. / Ubuntu VMware-install.pl (enter will prompt for your password, and the password will not be displayed, indicating that you will perform an action with higher privileges-install the software; enter again and the installation will begin)

After some confirmation, enter (equivalent to many dialogs filled in when installing software in Windows, we use the default settings here), until the word "Enjoy--the Ubuntu VMware team" appears, Ubuntu VMwareTools is finally installed.

If you are using Ubuntu VMware Workstation 6.0.0, you should be able to see the effect of Ubuntu VMware Tools installation by now: the mouse no longer needs to use Ctrl+Alt to switch between virtual and real, everything transitions so naturally; the resolution of the virtual machine can also adapt to the size of the window, everything seems so harmonious.

In Ubuntu VMware Workstation 5.5.3, the installation of Ubuntu VMware Tools under Ubuntu depends on manual execution of / usr/bin/Ubuntu VMware-toolbox to show the effect. You can run it by typing the following command in the terminal: $/ usr/bin/Ubuntu VMware-toolbox, but if you find it troublesome, we need to let Ubuntu VMware-toolbox boot automatically. Click the Ubuntu menu: system-- * item-- session-- Startup Programs,Add a Name called "Ubuntu VMware-toolbox", and Command is the launcher of "/ usr/bin/Ubuntu VMware-toolbox". In this way, you can run Ubuntu VMware Tools automatically every time you turn it on. Restart Ubuntu to see how it works! (note: Ubuntu VMware-toolbox is not hidden in the background, do not turn it off after startup)

Ubuntu VMware Tools is a good thing, but it also has side effects, such as: the mouse wheel in the virtual machine doesn't work. Let's solve this problem in this way, or open the terminal and type: $sudo gedit / etc/X11/xorg.conf

This command causes the system to open the mouse configuration file / etc/X11/xorg.conf with root privileges. Change Option "Protocol"ps/2" in the file to Option "Protocol"IMPS/2" if there is no line Option "Protocol"ps/2". Add this line to the virtual mouse column

Restart Ubuntu. Done.
