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，要架设什么服务器，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

[iyunv@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
[iyunv@rd01 ~]# cd /cdrom
[iyunv@rd01 ~]# ls -a
[iyunv@rd01 ~]# cp VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.tar.gz /tmp
[iyunv@rd01 ~]# cd /tmp
[iyunv@rd01 ~]# tar zxpf VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.tar.gz
[iyunv@rd01 ~]# cd vmware-tools-distrib
[iyunv@rd01 vmware-tools-distrib]# ./vmware-install.pl
Creating a new installer database using the tar3 format.

Installing the content of the package.

# 安装过程的画面，全部使用默认值，一直按 Enter 就对了

In which directory do you want to install the binary files?
[/usr/bin]

What is the directory that contains the init directories (rc0.d/ to rc6.d/)?
[/etc/rc.d]

What is the directory that contains the init scripts?
[/etc/rc.d/init.d]

In which directory do you want to install the daemon files?
[/usr/sbin]

In which directory do you want to install the library files?
[/usr/lib/vmware-tools]

Thepath "/usr/lib/vmware-tools" does not exist currently. This programisgoingto create it, including needed parent directories. Is thiswhatyou want?
[yes]

In which directory do you want to install the documentation files?
[/usr/share/doc/vmware-tools]

Thepath "/usr/share/doc/vmware-tools" does not exist currently.Thisprogram isgoing to create it, including needed parent directories.Isthis what you want?
[yes]

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 &#43; Alt 了，

# 现在我们来共享 Host OS 的文件夹给 Guest 使用，〔VM〕→〔设置 Ctrl &#43; 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

[iyunv@rd01 vmware-tools-distrib]#

在这里用命令startx打开图形界面，出现以下错误：
Fatal server error:
no screens found
XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer)on X server &quot;:0.0&quot;
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
[iyunv@rd01 vmware-tools-distrib]#

然后就是打不开图形界面，我又reboot，仍然不行，还是出现那些错误.简单的说我现在就是只能进文本界面，进不了图形界面，请哪位帮助看一下，给个办法。
PS：还想问一下，我默认的是文本方式打开，在启动时怎么进入图形界面.
　　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&quot;rpm&quot;文件.步骤基本上相&#20284;.
[iyunv@rd01 ~]# cd /cdrom
[iyunv@rd01 cdrom]#ls
VMwareTools-5.5.3-34685.i386.rpm
[iyunv@rd01 ~]# rpm -ivh VMwareTools-5.5.3-34685.i386.rpm
安装完后运行&quot;vmware-config-tools.pl&quot;
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&quot;命令&quot;或&quot;软件名&quot;一定要注意大小写!!!
我装VMwareTools的时候没注意,烦了我几天.
(在red hat enterprise linus 4上通过)


我用的是VMware5.5.1
Guest OS 是Ubuntu 7.04
我按照版主列的步骤，一路回车，结果到这里就无法运行下去。
问题解决啦，把原来的5.5.1换成5.5.3版本后就可以安装了。
在5.5.1中每次tool安装都回提示与linux内核有关问题，是不是5.5.1不兼容Ubuntu7.04还是在Ubuntu的其他版本中也有这种情况发生?
安装好后，主机与虚拟机之间可以正常的访问共享，可是只有当打开了Tools工具箱的控制面板后，鼠标才可以只有的切换，当关掉后，鼠标又要使用热键才可以释放，请问这样的问题怎么解决？请指教
谢谢
　　在你运行到Enjoy,

是，先[iyunv@rd01 vmware-tools-distrib]# shutdown -r now
重起后就应该OK了
