虚拟机中的Linux安装VMware Tools的方法
linux vmware tools安装步骤简易版
linux vmware tools安装估计有点困难,我也在网上看了好多版本的linux安装vmware tools,方法都一样。但是自己在安装过程中,还是遇到了点问题。但是最终还是搞定。我运行的是vmware workstation 8.0.4 , os: centos 6.0
1. 在cd-rom虚拟光驱中选择使用iso镜像,找到vmware tools 安装文件,如c:\program\vmware\vmware workstation\programs\linux.iso
当然这个iso是你安装vmware workstation 的目录下的linux.iso,不是你的linux os 镜像文件。vmware tools一般都在这个文件里。
2. 以管理员身份进入linux,root账号
3. 退出到windows,在虚拟机菜单栏中点击 虚拟机-> 安装 vmware tools 子菜单,会弹出对话框,点击"确认" 安装
4. 挂载光驱:mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt
加载cdrom设备,这是如果进入/mnt 目录下,你会发现一个文件:
vmwaretools-8.8.4-743747.tar.gz
这个就死vmware tools的linux软件包,也是我们刚才使用的winiso打开的liunx.iso
有的虚拟机上估计执行mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
如果提示如下错误,挂载点不存在。,[root@localhost /]#mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
mount: mount point /mnt/cdrom dose not exist
请直接执行此命令:
mount /dev/cdrom /opt
cd /opt
或者应该可以使用自动挂载,直接进入
cd /misc/cd
5. copy 此文件到临时文件夹
cp /mnt/mvmwaretools-8.8.4-743747.tar.gz /tmp
6. 卸载cdrom,执行 umount /dev/cdrom
7. 进入tmp文件目录并解压此文件包
cd /tmp
tar zxf vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz
解压默认到vmware-tools-distrib目录下:此时你可以使用ls -ll 查看文件夹下的文件
8. 进入vmware-tools-distrib,安装vmware tools.
./vmware-install.pl 执行安装,
安装过程中他会一步一步的有问题回应,此过程中,你遇到后面显示[yes],[no],[yes][no]的直接输入yes,然后回车。其他的问题不管[]里面是什么,直接回车就好了,不要输入。
9. 大约5分钟左右安装完成。 执行init 6重启ok。

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/network stop
rmmod pcnet32
rmmod vmxnet
modprobe vmxnet
/etc/init.d/network start
