Pak Info Zone: vmware tutorial

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Should you decide to create your own VMware installation of Kali Linux rather than using our pre-made VMware images, you will need to follow the instructions below in order to successfully install VMware Tools in your Kali installation. You can opt to install either open-vm-tools, or the native VMWare tools. Installing open-vm-Tools This is probably the easiest way to get “VMWare tools” functionality inside a kali VMWare guest. apt-get install open-vm-tools Installing VMware Tools in Kali If open-vm-tools does not work for you, or if you prefer using native VMWare tools, begin by installing some packages that are required by the VMware Tools installer: echo cups enabled >> /usr/sbin/update-rc.d echo vmware-tools enabled >> /usr/sbin/update-rc.d apt-get install gcc make linux-headers-$(uname -r) ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/include/linux/Next, mount the Vmware tools ISO by clicking “Install VMware Tools” from the appropriate menu. Once the VMware Tools ISO has been attached to the virtual machine, we mount the drive and copy the VMware Tools installer to /tmp/. mkdir /mnt/vmware mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/vmware/ cp -rf /mnt/vmware/VMwareTools* /tmp/ Then, change directory to /tmp/, extract the tarball and start the installer: cd /tmp/ tar zxpf VMwareTools-*.tar.gz cd vmware-tools-distrib/ ./vmware-tools-install.pl Follow the prompts for the VMware Tools installation and you are done. Lastly, to get rid of possible VMWare service errors, edit the /etc/init.d/vmware-tools script, and at around line 876, change: # POSIX shell uses '!' for negation during bracket expansion. # See <a href="http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html" rel="nofollow nofollow" style="background-color: white; color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html</a> IFS=. set -- `uname -r` to : # POSIX shell uses '!' for negation during bracket expansion. # See <a href="http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html" rel="nofollow nofollow" style="background-color: white; color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html</a> IFS=. set -- `uname -r|cut -d"-" -f1` Once changed, proceed to restart the VMWare tool service.</div>
