我的vmtools安装经历

作者：华仔

原来我都是用windows和linux双系统的，但是听朋友说用虚拟机很方便，于是我就在windows系统上安装了虚拟机，然后在虚拟机上安装了Fedora 6版本linux。接着麻烦事就来了，vm tools怎么也安装不上，虽然显示效果方面我不在乎，可是没有vm tools在windows和linux的文件共享上还是有些麻烦的。

我按照安装步骤一步步进行，可是总是提示我版本不一致的问题。我到网上查了些资料说升级就可以了

所以我就用命令
yun install gcc
和
yun install kernel－devel

升级成功。用uname －r看到的版本信息和rpm －q kernel－devel看到的版本信息是一致的了！但是等到安装vm tools的时候和原来一样的错误信息还是出现，安装还是不成功。经过了不知道多少次的失败尝试后我终于......换了一个新版本的vmware，vmware6。这下终于安装成功了。

什么点击安装菜单，解压等就不说了，下面是我的安装过程的全记录。

注意：网上好地方说所有选项都选择【是】或是直接回车就可以了，其实不是这样的，其中有一项要特别

注意。就是询问是否要安装主机和vm的通信通道......这一项的默认是【no】，如果直接回车就会造成主

机和vm无法直接通信。

In which directory do you want to install the binary files?
[/usr/bin]

What is the directory that contains the init directories (rc0.d/ to rc6.d/)?
[/etc/rc.d]

What is the directory that contains the init scripts?
[/etc/rc.d/init.d]

In which directory do you want to install the daemon files?
[/usr/sbin]

In which directory do you want to install the library files?
[/usr/lib/vmware-tools]

The path "/usr/lib/vmware-tools" does not exist currently. This program is
going to create it, including needed parent directories. Is this what you want?
[yes] y

In which directory do you want to install the documentation files?
[/usr/share/doc/vmware-tools]

The path "/usr/share/doc/vmware-tools" does not exist currently. This program

The installation of VMware Tools 6.0.2 build-59824 for Linux completed
successfully. You can decide to remove this software from your system at any
time by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall-tools.pl".

Before running VMware Tools for the first time, you need to configure it by
invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl". Do you want
this program to invoke the command for you now? [yes] y

You must restart your X session before any mouse or graphics changes take
effect.

You can now run VMware Tools by invoking the following command:
"/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox" during an X server session.

To use the vmxnet driver, restart networking using the following commands:
/etc/init.d/network stop
rmmod pcnet32
rmmod vmxnet
modprobe vmxnet
/etc/init.d/network start

To make use of the virtual printer, you will need to restart the CUPS service

安装好后建一个共享文件夹，在vm的菜单中vm－setting－option－shared folders ，添好相应的设置就可以了。注意，还没完呢。还要禁止虚拟机的防火墙，包括禁用Selinux。

至此，终于能在虚拟机的file:/mnt/hgfs目录下看到共享的windows文件夹了。通过这个文件夹主机和vm就可以传递文件了。
