About the solution to the problem that the virtual machine running on windows is low resolution in ubuntu16.04 and cannot be copied and pasted

Workaround: Install VMware tools

method one:

Benefits of installing VMWare-Tools in a VMware virtual machine: it can support a graphical interface, and can support shared file functions, etc.

Because I downloaded ubuntu-16.04.7-desktop-amd64, I need to install vmware tools, use the following three lines of commands, pay attention to the network environment

1. sudo apt-get upgrade (if not, change to the following command)

sudo mkdir /mnt/cdrom

2、sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools-desktop -y

3、sudo reboot

Method two:

1. Click Virtual Machine Options on the menu -> Install vmware tools
2. If the VMware Tools virtual CD-ROM image is not mounted, mount the CD-ROM drive.

Create the mount point directory if it does not already exist

mkdir /mnt/cdrom

Mount the CD-ROM drive

mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

3. Unzip

tar zxpf /mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-x.x.x-yyyy.tar.gz

4. If needed, unmount the CD-ROM image

umount /dev/cdrom 

5. Run the installer and configure VMware Tools as root

cd vmware-tools-distrib
sudo ./vmware-install.pl

6. All configurations are default, keep pressing Enter to succeed
