SoCalRox Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I built a VMDK with Xubuntu to run on my Windows PC at work. However, no matter what I have tried, it doesn't install the VMWARE Tools. I try to install from the Player window, and it tries to download, which pops up a window to sign in to the proxy server, which I do not know a user name or password for- my network ID/pass won't work. It won't iinstall with the ones in the "CDROM" within the VM either, although it looks like it does. I need to have the sharing capability for the files on my host PC. Help??? Thanks!

Skiver Veteran Posted June 10, 2015 Veteran Share Posted June 10, 2015 Moved to Virtualisation section Have you tried this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalRox Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 I did try that to no avail, but I finally got it to download, at least. Still doesn't want to install. The file names have changed since the VMWARE piece was written. I'm still too new to Ubuntu to do things easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skiver Veteran Posted June 10, 2015 Veteran Share Posted June 10, 2015 Ah OK, maybe this is more of a Linux issue then so I'll move it back now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tudumm Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Hi, this is a recent tutorial - a couple of months old, so it should be correct: http://vmware-player.com/install-vmware-tools-in-linux/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
