VMware PlayerでのUbuntuのセットアップ

Windows上でUbuntuを使用する方法について解説します。VMware Player上で実行することを想定しているため、先にそれが用意されている必要があります。

仮想マシンの作成

VMware Playerを起動し、[新規仮想マシンの作成]をクリックします。

[インストーラ ディスク イメージ ファイル]に、ダウンロードしたUbuntuのイメージ ファイルを指定します。

Ubuntuのユーザー名などの情報を入力します。

ここで[ハードウェアをカスタマイズ]をクリックすると、仮想マシンのハードウェアの設定を行えます。なおこの設定は、インストールの完了後にも行えます。

「簡易インストール」に対応したイメージファイルの場合、続けて「VMware Tools」のダウンロードとインストールも自動で行えます。

VMWare Toolsのインストール

Ubuntuでターミナルを起動して、次に示す手順でインストールを行います。

# rootとしてログインする
xxxx@ubuntu:~$ sudo su
[sudo] password for xxxx:

# VMware Toolsの仮想CD-ROMイメージのマウントポイントを確認する
root@ubuntu:/home/user# mount
 ...
/dev/sr0 on /media/VMware Tools type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,mode=0400,dmode=0500,uhelper=udisks)

# 作業ディレクトリへ移動する
root@ubuntu:/home/user# cd /tmp

# インストーラを展開する
root@ubuntu:/tmp# tar zxpf /media/VMware\ Tools/VMwareTools-8.8.1-528969.tar.gz

# インストーラを実行する
root@ubuntu:/tmp# cd vmware-tools-distrib/
root@ubuntu:/tmp/vmware-tools-distrib# ./vmware-install.pl

vmware-tools start/running
The configuration of VMware Tools 8.8.1 build-528969 for Linux for this running
kernel completed successfully.

You must restart your X session before any mouse or graphics changes take
effect.

You can now run VMware Tools by invoking "/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox-cmd" from the
command line or by invoking "/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox" from the command line
during an X server session.

To enable advanced X features (e.g., guest resolution fit, drag and drop, and
file and text copy/paste), you will need to do one (or more) of the following:
1. Manually start /usr/bin/vmware-user
2. Log out and log back into your desktop session; and,
3. Restart your X session.

Enjoy,
