linux安装vm tools

Linux VMware Tools安装步骤简易版Linux VMware Tools安装估计有点困难，我也在网上看了好多版本的Linux安装VMware Tools，方法都一样。但是自己在安装过程中，还是遇到了点问题。但是最终还是搞定。我运行的是VMware workstation 8.0.4 , OS: CentOS 6.0
1. 在CD-ROM虚拟光驱中选择使用ISO镜像，找到VMWARE TOOLS 安装文件，如C:\program\VMware\VMware Workstation\Programs\linux.iso    当然这个ISO是你安装VMware workstation 的目录下的Linux.iso，不是你的Linux OS 镜像文件。VMware Tools一般都在这个文件里。
2. 以管理员身份进入Linux，root账号
3. 退出到windows,在虚拟机菜单栏中点击 虚拟机-> 安装 VMWARE TOOLS 子菜单,会弹出对话框，点击"确认" 安装4. 挂载光驱：Mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt
加载CDROM设备，这是如果进入/mnt 目录下，你会发现一个文件：
VMwareTools-8.8.4-743747.tar.gz
这个就死VMware Tools的Linux软件包，也是我们刚才使用的WinISO打开的Liunx.ISO
有的虚拟机上估计执行mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
如果提示如下错误，挂载点不存在。，[root@localhost /]#mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom                             mount: mount point /mnt/cdrom dose not exist
请直接执行此命令：
   mount /dev/cdrom /opt     cd /opt或者应该可以使用自动挂载，直接进入     cd /misc/cd
5. copy 此文件到临时文件夹
  cp /mnt/mVMwareTools-8.8.4-743747.tar.gz /tmp
6. 卸载CDROM，执行 umount /dev/cdrom
7. 进入tmp文件目录并解压此文件包
  cd /tmp
  tar zxf vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz
解压默认到vmware-tools-distrib目录下：此时你可以使用ls -ll 查看文件夹下的文件
8. 进入vmware-tools-distrib，安装vmware tools.
./vmware-install.pl  执行安装，
安装过程中他会一步一步的有问题回应，此过程中，你遇到后面显示[yes],[no],[yes][no]的直接输入yes，然后回车。其他的问题不管[]里面是什么，直接回车就好了，不要输入。
9. 大约5分钟左右安装完成。 执行init 6重启ok。

  一、安装VMtools

点击VMware菜单的——虚拟机——安装VMwareTools，在弹出的对话框中选择“安装”。这时，在Ubuntu下会自动加载Linux版的VMwareTools的安装光盘镜像。你会看到虚拟机的桌面上出现了一个名为VMwareTools的光盘图标，并且被自动打开。其中包括VMwareTools-5.3.3-34685-i386.rpm和VMwareTools-5.3.3-34685.tar.gz两个文件。

.rpm文件是给Red Hat准备的，我们只需要.tar.gz的那个，并把它拷贝到一个文件夹中（因为光驱是不可写的）。

$ tar zxf VMwareTools-5.3.3-34685.tar.gz（回车后系统会把那个.tar.gz文件解压缩） 

$ cd vmware-tools-distrib（回车后目录将转换到解压缩后的那个文件夹） 

$ sudo ./vmware-install.pl（回车后会提示输入你的密码，表明你将以更高级权限执行一个动作——安装软件；再次回车后安装开始） 

经过一番确认回车后（相当于在Windows里安装软件时所填答的诸多对话框，我们这里均采用缺省设置），直到最后出现“Enjoy——the VMware team”的字样后，VMwareTools终于安装完成了。 

如果你使用的是VMware Workstation 6.0.0，现在你应该已经能看到VMwareTools安装后的效果了：鼠标再也不需要用Ctrl+Alt切换于虚拟与现实之间，一切过渡得那么自然；虚拟机的分辨率也能依窗口的大小来自动适应，一切显得那样和谐。但我们这里使用的是VMware Workstation 5.5.3，所以暂时你还看不到什么，让我们来做一下最后的设置吧。 

在VMware Workstation 5.5.3里，Ubuntu下的VMware Tools安装之后是要靠手动执行/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox才能显示出效果的。你可以通过在终端中输入如下命令来运行它： 

$ /usr/bin/vmware-toolbox 

但如果你嫌麻烦，我们就需要让vmware-toolbox实现开机自动运行。点击Ubuntu菜单：System——首选项——会话——StartupPrograms，Add一个Name叫“vmware-toolbox”，Command是“/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox”的启动程序。这样每次开机后就能自动运行VMwareTools了。重启Ubuntu看看效果吧！（注意：vmware-toolbox并不是在后台隐藏运行的，启动后不要关闭）

VMware Tools固然是个好东西，但也有副作用，比如说：虚拟机中的鼠标的滚轮不好使了。我们这样解决这个问题，还是打开终端，输入： 

$ sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf 

这个命令使系统以root权限打开鼠标配置文件/etc/X11/xorg.conf。把文件中的 

Option “Protocol” “ps/2” 

改成 

Option “Protocol” “IMPS/2”

重启Ubuntu搞定。

 二、设置分辨率：

        1、cd /usr/bin

        使用此命令,进入/usr/bin目录；

        2、ls *.pl

        使用此命令,查找vmware-config-tools.pl文件；

        3、./vmware-config-tools.pl

        运行vmware-config-tools.pl文件；

        4、设置分辨率

        输入相应的数字回车即可，感觉设置的与原系统一样就可以了；

        5、重启虚拟机。

三、压缩虚拟机空间

虚拟机随着使用，空间会越来越大，而且就算删掉了其中的文件，空间也不会减少，可以用vmware tools 的shrink， 执行 vmware-toolbox，然后用shrink进行压缩就可以了，效果挺不错的，不过时间有点长。
