Worked right for me with a Kubuntu 6.06 32-bit x86 guest on VMware Server 1.0.1 build 26669 on a SuSE 10.0 64-bit AMD host.

I didn't even have to muck with the mouse driver. VMware Tools built and installed without a single error.

Thank you

I'm a big fan of Virtual Machines on Windows / Linux. We use VM a lot at work, it is a huge part of the QA team as it allows to test on cross browsers / and various operating systems.

Installing Dapper as a guest operating system on VMware

elliot — Wed, 02 Aug 2006 17:14:46 -0500

Note: If you're installing Ubuntu Edgy as a guest OS, I've updated these instructions (as it's easier than Dapper). See this page of instructions instead.

Hmm, not simple. But I've licked it. I'm using VMware Workstation 5.5.1 build-19175 and Ubuntu Dapper as the host operating system. I am installing a second Ubuntu Dapper as the guest operating system. I also worked out how to get the VMware Tools to work. Here's what I did:

Downloaded the Ubunutu .iso file from http://ubuntu.org/. (I tried to install off CD and failed miserably: it hung when it tried to create the Ubuntu Live CD user.)
Created a new virtual machine in VMware (I accepted all the defaults). I set the hard disk to 4Gb which should be big enough.
Edit the virtual machine and set its CD to use an ISO image; point it at the Ubuntu .iso file you downloaded.
Boot the virtual machine. Press enter when prompted to install Ubuntu. This will boot into the Live CD version of Ubuntu.
Once in, double-click the "Install" icon on the desktop to install the Live CD image onto the hard disk.
Follow through the installation procedure.
When you power off ready for reboot, you can point the CD for the virtual machine back at the physical drive (I used the "Autodetect" setting).
Boot into Ubuntu. You are now using the hard disk installation rather than the Live CD image.
Select the VM > Install VMware Tools option from the VMware workstation menu. You should get a CD icon on your Ubuntu desktop; if not, go to Places and choose the CD there.
Copy the .tar.gz file to your desktop. Right click on it and select "Extract here". This will give you a folder called vmware-tools-distrib.
Get a console up and cd to the vmware-tools-distrib directory.
Make yourself root (sudo su).
There are a few things we're going to need to be able to install the tools, so get those:
apt-get install gcc gcc-3.4 make
We also need the Linux kernel headers.
apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
Once they're installed, it's worth creating a symlink to make the installer run more smoothly:
ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.15.23-386 /usr/src/linux
Tell the installer script which compiler to use:
export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-3.4
While you're still in the vmware-tools-distrib directory, run the install script:
./vmware-tools-install.pl
I accepted all the default settings and said yes to everything.
This gets everything (pretty much) working except the mouse. You can fix this like so:
1. sudo ln -s /usr/lib/vmware-tools/configurator/XOrg/6.8.x/vmmouse_drv.o /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/
2. Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and find the section headed Section "InputDevice", with the line Driver "mouse". Change the Driver "mouse" line so it reads Driver "vmmouse".
As I'm using a widescreen laptop, I also had to edit the settings for my screen resolution in the Section "Screen", e.g.:
Modes "1280×768" "1024×768" "800×600" "640×480"
This works fine on my IBM Z60t.
Logout and kill X with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. This should make all your new settings come alive.

Hurrah! It works!
