vmware
I installed my Ubuntu in vmware, no I need install vmware tools, I got error:
Searching for a valid kernel header path... The path "" is not valid. Would you like to change it?[yes]
In CentOS, I run the following command to resolve this issue:
yum install gcc-c++
yum install kernel-devel
yum install kernel-headers
yum -y update kernel
But I don't know how to do in Ubuntu. Please help.
Update I have tried the following command but nothing changed,still got error:
Searching for a valid kernel header path... The path "" is not valid. Would you like to change it?[yes]
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo-get install build-essential linux-header-$(uname -r)
- sudo ./vmware-uninstall-tools.pl
- sudo ./vmware-config-tools.pl
- sudo ./vmware-install.pl
Issue Changed:
Run sudo ./vmware-uninstall-tools.pl, and delete the folder of /etc/vmware-tools then, run sudo ./vmware-install.pl Now I can successfully install vmware-tool.After restart, I can see folder of /mnt/hgfs, but can't see my shared folder.
