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。

First, install VMtools
Click on the menu VMware - virtual machine - installed VMwareTools, the pop-up dialog box, select "Install." At this time, in Ubuntu will automatically load the Linux version of VMwareTools installation CD image. You will see the emergence of a CD-ROM called VMwareTools icon on the desktop of the virtual machine, and is automatically opened. Including VMwareTools-5.3.3-34685-i386.rpm and VMwareTools-5.3.3-34685.tar.gz two files.
.rpm file for Red Hat is ready, we just need to .tar.gz that and copy it to a folder (because the drive is not writable).
$ Tar zxf VMwareTools-5.3.3-34685.tar.gz (decompression system that will .tar.gz file Enter)
$ cd VMware-Tools-distrib (carriage return after the catalog will switch to the decompression that folder)
$ sudo ./vmware-install.pl (carriage return will be prompted to enter your password, you will perform an action show higher authority - to install software; installation started again after a carriage return)
after some acknowledgment back after the car (equivalent to install the software in Windows, the respondents had many dialog boxes, here we are using the default setting), until finally appeared - after the words "Enjoy the VMware team" of, VMwareTools finally the installation is complete.
If you are using VMware Workstation 6.0.0, now you should have been able to see the effect VMwareTools installed: mouse no longer need to use Ctrl + Alt to switch between virtual and reality, everything was so natural transition; virtual machine the resolution also able to automatically adapt according to the size of the window, everything seems so harmonious. But here we are using the VMware Workstation 5.5.3, we do not see what you have, let's do it at the last setting.
In VMware Workstation 5.5.3, the following VMware under Ubuntu Tools installation is to rely on manual execution / usr / bin / vmware-toolbox in order to show the effect. You can run it by entering the following command in a terminal:
$ / usr / bin / VMware-Toolbox
But if you find it troublesome, we need to make vmware-toolbox achieve start up automatically. Click the Ubuntu menu: System-- Preferences - Session --StartupPrograms, Add a Name called "vmware-toolbox", Command is "/ usr / bin / vmware- toolbox" startup programs. So each boot will automatically run the VMwareTools. Restart Ubuntu to see results! (Note: vmware-toolbox is not hidden to run in the background, do not close after the start)

VMware Tools course is a good thing, but there are side effects, such as: virtual machine mouse wheel so bad. We solved the problem, or open the terminal and type:
$ sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
This command causes the system to open the mouse configuration file /etc/X11/xorg.conf as root. The file
Option "Protocol" "ps / 2 "
into
Option "Protocol" "IMPS / 2 "
Restart Ubuntu get.
Second, set the resolution:
1、cd /usr/bin
With this command, enter / usr / bin directory;
2、ls *.pl
Use this command to find vmware-config-tools.pl file;
3、./vmware-config-tools.pl
Run vmware-config-tools.pl file;
4, set the resolution
Enter to respective digital input, feeling like provided on it with the original system;
5, restart the virtual machine.
Third, the virtual machine compression space
With the use of a virtual machine, the space will become increasingly large, and even deleted the files, it will not reduce the space can be used to shrink vmware tools, implementation vmware-toolbox, and then compressed with a shrink on it, the effect very good, but a little longer.
