VMware6.5下ubuntu的VMwareTools的安装

刚安装完ubuntu虚拟机的朋友们肯定有很多人被安装VMwareTools给难住了，本文就是来解决此问题的。
我安装的是VMware6.5的版本，其它的版本也差不多，版本过早的可能要麻烦些，可能需要什么gcc之类的东西，不说了，开始吧。
1、点击Vmware菜单上的“虚拟机” ——>Install VMwaretools
2、打开终端，终端的启动位置为：应用程序－－附件－－终端 ，即整个ubuntu屏幕左上角第一个按钮中的第三个按钮的菜单中。
3、获得root权限，在终端中输入：sudo passwd root
接着会显示如下东东：
Enter new UNIX password:
你输入你想要设置的密码，完了回车，接着就显示如下东东：
Retype new UNIX password:
你再次重复输入你的密码，完了回车，就显示如下东东：
passwd: password updated successfully
不管它
4、在做完上述东西后，再输入：su - root
它就会显示：password:
就是让你输入密码，你输入你刚刚设定的密码就可以了，密码不回显，你管自己敲就行了，敲完回车。
5、做完4就会显示：“root@你的用户名:~#” 之类的东西，不管它
接着你就输入：tar -vzxf /cdrom/VMwareTools-6.5.0-118166.tar.gz
等它解压完了，出现输入符号“root@你的用户名:~#”时，
你再输入：sudo ./vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl
接着，你就等着，一路回车就完了。

 

以上的红色部分表示你要输入和屏幕显示的东西或你要注意的东西。

 

以下是安装过程中出现的东西，你可以核对一下，如果差不多，就说明你成功了。

The configuration of VMware Tools 6.5.0 build-118166 for Linux for this running
kernel completed successfully.

You must restart your X session before any mouse or graphics changes take
effect.

You can now run VMware Tools by invoking the following command:
"/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox" during an X server session.

To enable advanced X features (e.g., guest resolution fit, drag and drop, and
file and text copy/paste), you will need to do one (or more) of the following:
1. Manually start /usr/bin/vmware-user
2. Log out and log back into your desktop session; and,
3. Restart your X session.

To use the vmxnet driver, restart networking using the following commands:
/etc/init.d/networking stop
rmmod pcnet32
rmmod vmxnet
modprobe vmxnet
/etc/init.d/networking start

If the virtual printer feature is enabled, you will need to restart the CUPS
service to make use of this feature.

Enjoy,
