Kali Linux installation VMware tools installation process and VM installation vmtools button gray

Xiaobai records the installation of vmtools:

1. Significance and function: VMWARE tools is a software that comes with the virtual machine. After installation, it can update the graphics driver in the virtual machine. You don't need to press a combination key to move the mouse out of the virtual machine. It can synchronize the time between the host and the client, and copy and paste between the host and the client or from one virtual machine to another, simplifying the operation.

2. Open the virtual machine as shown in the figure, and click the option to install vmtools (if the installation of vmtools is grayed out as shown in the figure below, see Figure 2 to shut down the virtual machine, set the CD/DVD and floppy disk to automatically search in the virtual machine and restart it)

2. Open the terminal, go to /media/cdrom0 to check whether vmtools has a vmtools image, and then copy the compressed package to the local computer.

cd /media/cdrom0 
ls
cp /media/cdrom0/VMwareTools-10.3.2-9925305.tar.gz 
ls /root 

3. Unzip the compressed package to get the vmware-tools-install.pl file

tar zxvf VMwareTools-10.2.5-8068393.tar.gz 

4. Execute the installation of the file, and then keep entering the default installation

vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl 

5. Restart after installation is complete

reboot
