VMware Tools Fusion V3.1 pour Debian-MAJ

Installer les VMTools de Fusion pour une machine virtuelle Debian

Voici la procédure à appliquer

• Sélectionner le menu Machine virtuelle / Installer VMware Tools
• Monter le cdrom virtuel mount /media/cdrom
• Copier le fichier VMTools dans un répertoire de travail cp /media/cdrom/VMwareTools-8.4.2-261058.tar.gz /usr/local/src
• Décompresser le fichier VMTools tar xzf /usr/local/src/VMwareTools-8.4.2-261058.tar.gz
• Se positionner dans le répertoire cd /usr/local/src/vmware-tools-distrib/
• Lancer le script ./vmware-install.pl
• Répondre par défaut aux questions (touche entrée)
• Les VMTools doivent s’installer et le cdrom virtuel se démonte automatiquement.

On peut constater la re-synchronisation horaire grâce aux VMTools. La première commande date a été effectuée à 17 h 45 avant l’installation des VMTools, la suivante après l’installation des VMTools, elle affiche la même heure que la machine Hôte.

The configuration of VMware Tools 8.4.2 build-261058 for Linux for this running
kernel completed successfully.

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

You can now run VMware Tools by invoking "/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox-cmd" from the
command line or by invoking "/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox" from the command line 
during an X server session.

To enable advanced X features (e.g., guest resolution fit, drag and drop, and 
file and text copy/paste), you will need to do one (or more) of the following:
1. Manually start /usr/bin/vmware-user
2. Log out and log back into your desktop session; and,
3. Restart your X session.

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

Enjoy,
