Problems encountered when installing vmtools

Recently, because of the ransomware virus, I listened to a security training given by a security expert, and learned a lot of new knowledge from it. In today's society where the Internet is so developed, our information and our privacy can be leaked so easily, so it is necessary to pay attention to security.

Kali linux was mentioned in the report. This is a good practical tool for students who want to learn security offense and defense. After the meeting, I downloaded one to play with. However, I encountered many problems when installing in VMware. Let’s talk about what I experienced when installing vmtools today!

The version I downloaded and installed is kalilinux2017.1, which is the latest version. Because I didn’t have much contact with Linux before, I was not very familiar with installing software in the Linux environment. You can only search for step-by-step tutorials on Baidu. When installing vmtools (anyway, I always install vmtools after installing a system.) I installed vmtools first. I didn’t know that this version of vmtools is no longer vmtools, but the new open-vm-tools. -desktop. The initial installation of vmtools may not be completely uninstalled, and an error will be reported every time the machine is shut down and restarted. There was really no other way, so I finally reinstalled the system and installed open-vm-tools-desktop directly, so no error was reported.

What I want to tell you here is: when installing vmtools in kalilinux2017.1, do not install the old version of vmtools, directly update the source, update the system, and then apt-get install open-vm-tools-desktop , after installation, reboot. This will allow you to drag files.
