Installing VMware-Tools on uBuntu Server
[<Back>] [<Edit>]
VMware-Tools & uBuntu 9.04
Make sure you have proper compilers install on the Guest OS
1. $ sudo apt-get install build-essential
2. $ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-server
Once these are installed, you can have your VMware Workstation, VMware Fusion, vSphere start the VMware-Tools.
mount the cdrom to its mountpoint
3. $ sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0
Copy the VMwareTools-x.x.x-x.tar.gz to /tmp/
4 $ cp /media/cdrom0/VMwareTools-x.x.x-x.tar.gz /tmp/
at this point, you can unmount the cdrom by
5. $ sudo umount /media/cdrom0
change directory to /tmp ( $ cd /tmp )
6. $ tar -zxf VMwareTools-x.x.x-x.tar.gz
7. $ cd vmware-tools-distrib
8. $ sudo perl vmware-install.pl
Accept the default settings. If everything came clean, the VMware Host should see that VMware-tools is installed almost right away.
