Installing VMware Tools in an Ubuntu virtual machine (1022525)
Ubuntu Server with only a Command Line Interface
- Go to Virtual Machine > Install VMware Tools (or VM > Install VMware Tools).
Note: If you are running the light version of Fusion, or a version of Workstation without VMware Tools, or VMware Player, you are prompted to download the Tools before they can be installed. Click Download Now to begin the download.
- In the Ubuntu guest, run these commands:
sudo mkdir /mnt/cdrom
When prompted for a password, enter your Ubuntu admin user password.
Note: For security reasons, the typed password is not displayed. You do not need to enter your password again for the next five minutes.
sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom or sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom
The file name of the VMware Tools bundle varies depending on your version of the VMware product. Run this command to find the exact name:
ls /mnt/cdrom
tar xzvf /mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-x.x.x-xxxx.tar.gz -C /tmp/
Note: x.x.x-xxxx is the version discovered in the previous step.
cd /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib/sudo ./vmware-install.pl -d
Note: The -d switch assumes that you want to accept the defaults. If you do not use -d, press Return to accept each default or supply your own answers.
- Run this command to reboot the virtual machine after the installation completes:
sudo reboot
