This page explains how to install the VMware Tools on an Ubuntu guest VM. Startup/Shutdown Scripts (with VMware Toolbox running at root).Disk Shrink (with VMware Toolbox running at root).Seamless mouse movement between host and guestĬut & Paste - Guest to Host and Guest to Guest.The VMware Tools are software installed on a guest VM for improving performance when running on a VMware/Esx, VMware/Player, VMware/Server or VMware/Workstation host. Installing VMware tools on an Ubuntu guest.pl file is located but it gave me a "Permission denied" eventough I was logged on as root. So, I figured I would try running this pl file seperately instead of being invoked.
This means, of course, that the pl program I was running to install VMware Tools tried to launch another script that would have configured the tools but, strangely, it failed. The bad news is that I got to this point: So this means that I have VMware Tools 10.3.23 build-16594550 for Linux installed successfully. First, the good news, I got to this point: I have some good news and some news that might not be so good. So which one should I use?īut whichever one I pick, I do not find any ISO files. I do not think any of these are for that version. I think thay are for divverent versions (or updates) of Ubuntu they are: For Ubuntu, the experience was different. From this point, drilling down the subfolders to find the ISO disk image for a windows virtual machine was easy. This lead me to believe I was on the right path. Looking under the latest releases we see one folder for windows and another folder for ubuntu. I went to /tools and, without describing the tree structures of all the folders and subfolders, I will sum up.
Maybe there is a special method to installing the VMware tools for Ubuntu that does not require an ISO image. I have been trying to find the ISO image specifically for Ubunto or Linux. There must be another ISO that is just for linux (Ubuntu) What I got, did not run on Ubuntu and I was told that it was supposed to be run only if the Virtual Machine was Windows. So I went to /tools and downloaded the ISO for Windows, thinking that the ISO type was supposed to be for the hosting computer OS, and not for the Virtual Machine. I found that I need to install VMware tools before I can share a folder.

First, I wanted to know how to move files from the hosting computer to the Virtual Machine My computer is a Windows 10 Enterprise and the OS of my vitrual machine is Ubuntu 22.04 64-bit. I installed VMWARE Workstation 16 Pro to move files. I need to know where to find the ISO file for Ubuntu to install VMware Tools. But I suppose it might be helpful to make this post here in case I can find some added insight into my issue. This might be more of a VMware question than an Ubuntu question.
