重启后,你可能会发现还是要按"Ctrl+Alt"释放鼠标(VM6.0没这问题了),因为我用的是5.5.3,所以要手动执行才有效果.
通过终端运行VMware-Tools:
点击Ubuntu桌面左上角的Applications→附件→终端,会打开一个类似Windows中记事本的程序,在里面输入以下内容($是自带的,不用专门输入):
$ /usr/bin/vmware-toolbox
但如果你嫌麻烦，我们就需要让vmware-toolbox实现开机自动运行。点击Ubuntu菜单：System→首选项→会话→Startup Programs，Add一个Name叫“vmware-toolbox”，Command是“/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox”的启动程序。这样每次开机后就能自动运行VMware Tools了。重启Ubuntu看看效果吧！（注意：vmware-toolbox并不是在后台隐藏运行的，启动后不要关闭）。
VMware Tools固然是个好东西，但也有副作用，比如说：虚拟机中的鼠标的滚轮不好使了。我们这样解决这个问题，还是打开终端，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”

Ubuntu的软件包格式是deb，如果要安装rpm的包，则要先用alien把rpm转换成deb。
sudo apt-get install alien #alien默认没有安装，所以首先要安装它
sudo alien xxxx.rpm #将rpm转换位deb，完成后会生成一个同名的xxxx.deb
sudo dpkg -i xxxx.deb #安装
注意，用alien转换的deb包并不能保证100%顺利安装，所以可以找到deb最好直接用deb
有时候，我们想要使用的软件并没有被包含到 Ubuntu 的仓库中，而程序本身也没有提供让 Ubuntu 可以使用的 deb 包，你又不愿从源代码编译。但假如软件提供有 rpm 包的话，我们也是可以在 Ubuntu 中安装的。
方法一：
1. 先安装 alien 和 fakeroot 这两个工具，其中前者可以将 rpm 包转换为 deb 包。安装命令为：
sudo apt-get install alien fakeroot
2. 将需要安装的 rpm 包下载备用，假设为 package.rpm。
3. 使用 alien 将 rpm 包转换为 deb 包：
fakeroot alien package.rpm
4. 一旦转换成功，我们可以即刻使用以下指令来安装：
sudo dpkg -i package.deb
方法二：
1.CODE:
sudo apt-get install rpm alien
2.CODE:
alien -d package.rpm
3.CODE:
sudo dpkg -i package.deb
