Linux虚拟系统安装VMware Tools总结

一、VMware Tools安装手记(For Linux Guest OS)


为什么要装 VMware Tools？

因为它可以改善 Virtual Machine 的运行性能，而且可以让 Host OS 和 Guest OS 互通有无，这样我们就不用伤脑筋，要架设什么，来沟通两个 OS，现在就让我们开始吧！

VMware Tools所在位置：VMware 安装路径 /VMware/VMware Workstation/linux.iso

[root@rd01 ~]#mount /cdrom
# 有时可能加载不了，这时就要先将系统关闭，再手动指定 ISO 映像，看下图
[root@rd01 ~]#cd /cdrom
[root@rd01 ~]#ls -a
[root@rd01 ~]#cp VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.tar.gz /tmp
[root@rd01 ~]#cd /tmp
[root@rd01 ~]#tar zxpf VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.tar.gz
[root@rd01 ~]#cd vmware-tools-distrib
[root@rd01 vmware-tools-distrib]#./vmware-install.pl

The installation of VMware Tools 5.5.1 build-19175 for Linux completed
successfully. You can decide to remove this software from your system at any
time by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall-tools.pl".

Before running VMware Tools for the first time, you need to configure it by
invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl". Do you want
this program to invoke the command for you now?[yes]

# 修改完成之后，重新启动计算机，让 VMware Tools 生效


# 重新启动计算机之后，我们就会发觉到，当我们要离开 Guest OS 的时候，不再需要按 Ctrl + Alt 了，

# 现在我们来共享 Host OS 的文件夹给 Guest 使用，〔VM〕→〔设置 Ctrl + D〕

# 注：左下角原本都会显示「You do not have VMware Tools installed」，现在我们装了 VMware Tools，就不再显示了














# 这就是共享完毕的画面，然后我们就需要到 Guest OS 内，看看可不可以读取到刚刚共享的目录

# 顺利的话，我们只要到「/mnt/hgfs」文件夹，就可以看到刚刚共享的文件夹了

五、如何在Ubuntu 7.10下安装VMware Tools

1.安装编译环境：

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

2.在VMware的菜单中，点击VM->Install VMware Tools，你将看到有光盘被加载。

解压缩VMwareTools*.tar.gz文件。执行命令：

cd ~/Desktop/vmware-tools-distrib

sudo ./vmware-install.pl

注意：ubuntu7.10需要VMware
Workstation版本足够高（即VMware-tools版本足够高）才能安装VMware-tools成功。V5.5版不能成功，V6.0才行，不过只要有V6.0版的linux.iso也行，只要替换原linux.iso即可。

下面是从VMware WorkstationV6.0
linux.iso中提取的VMware-tools安装文件，为了便于上传用win-rar分割压缩成了多个30M的文件，下载解压缩后可以用FTP工具放到虚拟机上安装的linux系统下，相关软件可以从Linuxeden软件中心下载

（已更换了vmhgfas.tar,不用做下面的共享补丁操作）

V6.0 linux.iso (VMware-tools安装文件提取)下载

vmware-tools-distrib.part1.rar

vmware-tools-distrib.part2.rar

解决文件共享问题

vmware6.0 下vmware tools 文件共享模块补丁vmhgfs.tar 下载

vmhgfs.tar存在eof调用的问题，所以每次编译总是不能通过，只需要把附件替换掉
/usr/lib/vmware-tools/modules/source 下面的vmhgfs.tar，然后到/usr/bin下运行 sudo
./vmware-config-tools.pl ，一路回车就好了。

VMware Tools安装后虚拟机中的鼠标的滚轮无法使用

打开终端，输入：

$ sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

这个命令使系统以root权限打开鼠标配置文件/etc/X11/xorg.conf。把文件中的

Option "Protocol" "ps/2"

改成

Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"

重启Ubuntu搞定。

八、Ubuntu安装VMware tools

 

先进入Ubuntu系统，然后切换到VMware Workstation中的VM菜单->Install VMware Tools,Ubuntu的桌面上会自动挂载VMwareTools的光驱(比红帽稍稍人性化一点)，双击进入，里面有两个安装文件，一个是rmp格式，一个是tar.gz格式。因为Ubuntu默认不支持rpm安装，所以选择用解压tar.gz文件进行安装。

由于安装 VMware Tools 需要针对新内核重新编译模块，所以必须先安装基本编译系统和内核头文件。
代码 :

$sudo apt-get install build-essential
$uname -r( 得到内核版本号 )
$ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` （把得到的版本号代入到 'uname -r' ）

解压与安装：
$ tar zxf /media/cdrom/VMwareTool-5.0.0-*.tar.gz （随版本号改变）
$ cd vmware-tools-distrib
$ sudo ./vmware-install.pl
往后一路回车就ｏｋ了

安装vmwaretools还有另外一个工具,试过后,觉得比解压再后再安装方便.
就是用光盘中的另一个文件"rpm"文件.步骤基本上相似.
[root@rd01 ~]# cd /cdrom
[root@rd01 cdrom]#ls
VMwareTools-5.5.3-34685.i386.rpm
[root@rd01 ~]# rpm -ivh VMwareTools-5.5.3-34685.i386.rpm
安装完后运行"vmware-config-tools.pl"
基本上不需要选择太多.然后重启就可以了.
不过在linux的各种命令行下输入"命令"或"软件名"一定要注意大小写!!!
我装VMwareTools的时候没注意,烦了我几天.
