Thisquestion does not appear to be about a specific programming problem, a software algorithm, or software tools primarily used by programmers. If you believe the question would be on-topic on another Stack Exchange site, you can leave a comment to explain where the question may be able to be answered.

I naively failed to install open-vm-tools-desktop. I say naively because I had no idea such a thing existed, nor do I understand why instructions to install open-vm-tools do not (or at least where I read them, do not) include mentions of this package.


If your VM already came with VMware Tools pre-installed, but this still isn't working for you--or if you install and still no luck--make sure you run Workstation or Player as Administrator. That fixed the issue for me.


Now to work with your vm 1. You open mremote2. You go to tools => external tools3. You click the startmyvms toolwhen you're done 1. You go to tools => external tools2. You click the stopmyvms external tool


Are you talking about drag and drop, when you say copy and paste?If yes, you can also use Rightclick on object on your main computer and click copy. And then you go into the Virtual Machine and Rightclick the position where you want the file to get copied to.


the mremote option offers more automation and almost replicates the vmware workstation graphical experience plus major benefits: NO DPI (guest resolution) hassle no copy pose hassleAutomation = starting vms and suspending them automaticallyplus more if you look deeper


If you would like to work on your own Windows machine away from the labs, you can, but you need to use Linux in a virtual machine. If you are the really adventurous type, you might try to port the tools via cygwin, but you will get stuck when it comes to serving NFS on Windows for the project. So don't waste your time.


Note: If you use your own vmware-hosted Linux install, you need to make sure you can enable a USB host controller for the virtual machine to connect the NSLU2 directly to Linux. VMware player does not support this when installing a VM from scratch (as far as we know). However, Player does support it, if the image it is using has it already configured - which our image is.


Now you are mostly set up. You will either need to install a desktop environment, or you can ssh into the virtual machine from Windows (run ifconfig to get the IP address to ssh in to). I personally run a Xserver on Windows and port forward from Linux to my display and use emacs, etc... You will need to apt-get install your favourite editor (if it is not vi) or any other software you generally use.


Once logged in, run sudo ifup eth1 to configure the network to the NSLU2. Use ifconfig to confirm eth1 is up with IP address 192.168.168.1. Some students have had the USB ETH adapter attach as eth2, in which case you'll have to delve into the Linux setup instructions to figure out what to adjust.


Before you can start the project, you need to adjust the tftp directory defined in our source tree. The tftpboot directory is /var/lib/tftpboot. You must adjust TFTPROOT in the top-level Makefile (edit directly), and CONFIG_SOS_NFS_DIR in .config (either by editing directly, or make menconfig). You should now be able to follow the normal project instructions.


Completely updated for this exciting third edition, Beginning Ubuntu for Windows and Mac Users will help you start your journey into Free and Open Source Software with Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS with GNOME 42.


This book is a friendly guide to installing and running Ubuntu for people who are already efficient and happy with Windows or macOS computers. It teachers new Ubuntu users how to navigate their new operating system, perform basic tasks and suggests specific applications to handle routine tasks.


You'll start by installing Ubuntu and its related "flavors" (Kubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, etc.) and how they differ from each other. The rest of the book breaks down application suggestions by broad categories to fill in gaps in the default installed system, or suggest fun things that the reader might not have even thought of. The command line is handled after you are comfortable with the system and ready for something interesting but different.It's presented as a powerful interface that can either be approached casually as a unique method of interacting with the computer, as an occasional tool to use, or as a fun way to get in touch with an early way of using a computer.


A brief look at "power user" topics gives advice on managing running processes, installing alternate desktop software, using virtual desktops and creating virtual machines. It's a great way to round off the book with starting points for advanced topics that are more specialty topics. An appendix describes the Ubuntu release schedule, naming, and timing.


The book is designed to function as a "travel guide" to Ubuntu, offering both a scenic tour through some of the great software in Ubuntu in a practical "here's what you can do with this" style as well as a comprehensive reference guide that the reader can return to over and over to learn how to accomplish specific tasks.

When not working with computers, he's more than likely admiring the latest Nintendo hardware, wishing he had more time for retro console and PC gaming, and indulging in linguistic curiosity by studying German or dabbling in Old English or Tolkien's constructed Elvish languages. The queue of scifi and fantasy books on his Kindle is probably growing instead of shrinking, although sometimes camping trips help with that.
