'''Feisty 7.04 Users''': Feisty 7.04 requires [http://register.vmware.com/content/beta/ws/download.html VMware Workstation 6 beta]. Other VMware products do not yet work with the latest Linux kernel included in Feisty. A workaround for this issue is described here [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=338305] The kernel_compat.h file needs to be edited, the call static inline _syscall1(int, compat_exit, int, exit_code); needs to be commented out. To get to this file, a tarball needs to be extracted and after editing, needs to be recreated. Details in the link

Also note that with AMD x86_64 it is necessary to install ia32-libs.

Introduction

VMware is well known and has a reputation for ease of use. Many of its core products are free of charge (but not open source).

Also note that with AMD x86_64 it is necessary to install ia32-libs.

  • VMware Player is the most basic version of VMware available. It's designed to play existing VM images. There are many existing, downloadable images for free Operating Systems. In addition, sites like EasyVMX allow for free creation of new VMXs, allowing Windows to be installed and ran in VMware player.
  • VMware Server is aimed at hosting virtual servers (as the name suggests), including a configuration console and web based configuration access. This is also free from VMware. AMD64 users should also see UbuntuHelp:VMware/Server/AMD64


Installing Ubuntu in a Virtual Machine

  • Download Ubuntu .iso
  • Create a new VM with vmware server or workstation
      • Directions to create image for vmware-player using qemu-img should be linked here

Installing VMware tools

VMware tools allows you to sync your virtual machine, run scripts on stopping, and do a few other things. What's missing, seemingly, is the ability to use the mouse without capturing focus first.

As of now, there is no .deb available, so run the following commands:

 sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` 

Now you’ll want to navigate to the VM \ Install VMware Tools menu within your virutal machine

This will mount the vmware tools in Ubuntu so that you can begin the install. To install the tools, copy the .tar.gz to your desktop. Right-click it and "extract here". Now open a terminal and type

sudo ./Desktop/vmware<tab>/vmware-install.pl" 
  • (please note the <tab> means to actually hit the tab key to enable autocomplete to finish the foldername).

Pick all the defaults when running vmware-install and reboot your virtual machine when finished. After rebooting, we can run vmware tools config

vmware-toolbox
  • Also note that vmware-toolbox has to be running for the mouse to be able to jump back and forth between the guest os and host os without hitting ctrl+alt. This is not ideal, but you could use 'alltray' to get the vmware-toolbox to the tray instead of the taskbar. It's also GTK1... bleh!
