Installing vmware-tools on Fedora 15 virtual machine
In my last post, I explained how to get Unity working in a VM and I will continue the VM trend in this post. One of the common problems people have when wanting to try out linux is getting the vmware-tools installed. Luckily, on Fedora 15 this is not much of an issue. You can have them installed in a few simple steps:
From a terminal session run the following:
sudo su -
yum -y update
note: if you received a kernel update via the yum update command, you will need to restart your server before installing the headers below.
yum -y install gcc make kernel-headers kernel-devel
shutdown -r now
Once the system has rebooted, run the following command as root:
/usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl
Using Ubuntu Unity on a VM
If you are like me, you do a lot of tinkering around with different operating systems. Thankfully with virtualization we are able to try the latest and greatest OS features without having to image our entire machine or dual boot. I downloaded the latest Ubuntu 11.04 release hoping to play around with the new Unity interface and was disappointed at boot up to not see the 3d goodness promised to me. After logging in, I see a nasty warning telling me that I do not have the hardware required to run Unity.
Unity Denied
Fortunately, you can enable 2d Unity compatibility mode with a few commands. Log in to the box, open up a terminal and type the following:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:unity-2d-team/unity-2d-daily
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install unity-2d-default-settings
After installing unity-2d, log out and back in and you should be in Unity goodness.
