Installing VMware Tools in an Ubuntu virtual machine
Saturday, February 4th, 2012
Copied from here so I can find it more easily….
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 vesion 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
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-
Note:
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
Ubuntu server 10.4 install a GUI
Saturday, August 21st, 2010
Liking Ubuntu more and more so here is a quick tip.
If you want to install server but still have a GUI you can do a minimum install with:
sudo aptitude install –without-recommends ubuntu-desktop
which will give you a GUI with a download of about 180mb against 400+mb with the recommends.
Not hardcode but sometimes it’s easier with a GUI :)
UPDATE Works on 10.10 as well.
UPDATE Works on 11.04 as well.
