Installera VM-ware Tools i Ubuntu Server
Installing VMware Tools in Ubuntu Server 9.10
1. Install software needed by VMware Tools
Install packages to build the kernel modules
sudo apt-get install autoconf automake binutils make cpp gcc linux-headers-$(uname -r)
2. Find out where the kernel headers are (you may need this later)
ls -d /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)*/include
i.e. /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.31-14-generic-pae/include
i.e. /lib/modules/2.6.31-14-generic-pae/build/include
3. Get the kernel source
sudo apt-get build-dep linux-image-$(uname -r)
sudo apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)
2. Prepare and install VMware Tools
1. From VMware Workstation: go to VM> Install VMware Tools
2. From the VM: mount the virtual cd drive
sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/
3. Extract VMware Tools to /tmp/
tar -C /tmp -zxvf /mnt/VMwareTools-5.5.3-34685.tar.gz
4. Unmount the virtual cd drive
sudo umount /mnt/
5. Now run the installer
cd /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib
sudo ./vmware-install.pl
6. When asked Do you want to run vmware-config-tools.pl?, answer “Yes”.
3. Run VMware Tools from X
