Linux安装VMware Tools

Linux安装VMware Tools

为了方便在虚拟机中复制粘贴，安装WMware Tools

点击菜单栏–>虚拟机–>安装VMware Tools。

进入linux主机，打开终端。

进入/media/VMware Tools目录

[root@localhost ~]# cd /media/VMware\ Tools/

将这个目录下VMwareTools-10.0.5-3228253.tar.gz文件复制到/tmp目录下，然后切换到/tmp目录执行解压。

[root@localhost VMware Tools]# cp VMwareTools-10.0.5-3228253.tar.gz /tmp
[root@localhost tmp]# tar -zxvf VMwareTools-10.0.5-3228253.tar.gz

解压完成后看到目录下面又多了个vmware-tools-distrib目录
进入vmware-tools-distrib目录，执行该目录下的vmware-install.pl文件，然后一路回车就行

[root@localhost tmp]# cd vmware-tools-distrib/
[root@localhost vmware-tools-distrib]# ./vmware-install.pl

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, either reboot or
1. stop networking or stop any interface using the vmxnet or pcnet32 driver
2. remove the pcnet32 module with 'rmmod pcnet32'
3. remove the vmxnet module with 'rmmod vmxnet'
4. load the vmxnet module with 'modprobe -v vmxnet'
5. and restart networking or restart the stopped network interfaces
