Ubuntu could not find the shared folder in VMware

Ubuntu could not find the shared folder in vmware

1. First of all, follow the general steps (there are a lot of documents online), set up folders, set up shared files, and always enable them.

two。 Set all CD/DVD, floppy disks and so on to automatic detection.

3. Open ubuntu in vm, click to install VMware tools at this time, remember that this is the key, sometimes friends will find that this button is gray, that is because you have not entered the system, need to be in the system, the VMware tools column will appear black

4. When we enter linux, we will find that there is cd-rom in the icon bar on the left, and then we need to copy the compressed file into / root, and then decompress it. It is very important to note that this step is very important, because of the cd-rom permission problem, it cannot be extracted directly in it.

5. After compression, there will be a vmware-tools-distrib folder, click into a vmware-install.pl file, use ". /" to execute, and then just need yes,enter on it.
