Updated OS Support
Workstation 16 supports the latest 2004 version of Windows 10, including Hyper-V mode compatibility for Device & Credential Guard and WSL, as well as supporting new releases of the most popular Linux distributions such as Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu and more.
Containers and Kubernetes Clusters
Workstation 16 Pro and Player both provide a new CLI for building and running OCI containers and Kubernetes clusters: ‘vctl.’ Supports thousands of pre-built container images, as well as building custom images from standard Dockerfiles.
Graphics Engine Enhancements for Windows and Linux
Workstation 16 now provides a DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.1 compliant virtual graphics device to Windows virtual machines, adding new compatibility for hundreds of apps and games. Linux hosts can now use Intel Integrated GPUs with our new Vulkan rendering engine, delivering DirectX 10.1 and OpenGL 3.3 to VMs without needing more a powerful discrete GPU.
vSphere 7 Compatibility
Workstation has been updated with compatibility for vSphere 7, including virtual machine hardware and remote ESXi and vCenter Server connections

I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 as a virtual machine using VMware Fusion 3.0 on Mac OS X 10.5.8. I want to be able to ssh into my VM from the Mac OS X host (so I can use MacFUSE and SSHFS to mount the VM's files on the Mac). I had this working previously, but then I: upgraded Fusion from 2.x to 3.0; rolled the VM back to a previous snapshot.

In this article, you will learn about how to install Ubuntu on VMware WorkStation Player on Windows 10. If you are think about that, why to install Ubuntu on VMware Player using windows. The answer is simple. That the Ubuntu Operating system is free and it is Linux cloud base open source operating system. Download Ubuntu desktop, Ubuntu Server, Ubuntu for Raspberry Pi and IoT devices, Ubuntu Core and all the Ubuntu flavours. Ubuntu is an open-source software platform that runs everywhere from the PC to the server and the cloud. To run Ubuntu Desktop on VMware Workstation software, you’ll have to first create a guest machine. Follow the guide below to create a Ubuntu desktop guest machine. To do that, click File – New Virtual Machine from VMware Host software. This should open the guest machine creation wizard. Use the screenshots below to help.

Buy VMWare Fusion, download, andinstall (write the serial number during installation). To get quicklystarted, you download a trial version for free and later buy it andregister the serial number (easy).

Go tohttp://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/downloadand choose the latest 64-bit Desktop version of Ubuntu.Save the downloaded Ubuntufile at some place you can recognize later.

Other Linux distributions.We strongly recommend to use a Debian-based GNU/Linux distribution,because Debian has by far the largest collection of prebuiltmathematical software.

Among the Debian-based distributions, we recommend Ubuntu, simply becauseswitching keyboard layouts is more reliable or easier in Ubuntu than in, e.g.,Lubuntu, Xubuntu, and Linux Mint (a configured layout might be goneafter a reboot). Switching keyboard layouts are particularlyconvenient when doing programming with an English/American keyboard,with braces and brackets in natural places,and then writing emails using a native keyboard with special characters.

1. Launch VMWare Fusion (the instructions here are for version 7).
2. Click on File - New and choose to Install from disc or image.
3. Click on Use another disc or disc image and choose your .iso file with the Ubuntu image.
4. Choose Easy Install, fill in password, and check the box for sharing files with the host operating system.
5. Choose Customize Settings and make the following settings (these settings can be changed later, if desired):
• Processors and Memory: Set a minimum of 2 Gb memory, but not more than half of your computer's total memory. The virtual machine can use all processors.
• Hard Disk: Choose how much disk space you want to use inside the virtual machine (20 Gb is considered a minimum).
6. Choose where you want to store virtual machine files on the hard disk. The default location is usually fine. The directory with the virtual machine files needs to be frequently backed up so make sure you know where it is.
7. Ubuntu will now install itself without further dialog, but it will take some time.
8. You may need to define a higher resolution of the display in the Ubuntu machine. Find the System settings icon on the left, go to Display, choose some display (you can try several, click Keep this configuration when you are satisfied).
9. You can have multiple keyboards on Ubuntu. Launch System settings, go to Keyboard, click the Text entry hyperlink, add keyboard(s) (Input sources to use), and choose a shortcut, say Ctrl+space or Ctrl+backslash, in the Switch to next source using field. Then you can use the shortcut to quickly switch keyboard.
10. A terminal window is key for programmers. Click on the Ubuntu icon on the top of the left pane, search for gnome-terminal, right-click its new icon in the left pane and choose Lock to Launcher such that you always have the terminal easily accessible when you log in. The gnome-terminal can have multiple tabs (Ctrl+shift+t to make a new tab).

Installing software on Ubuntu

You now have a full Ubuntu machine, but there is not much softwareon a it. Installation is performed through the Ubuntu Software Center (agraphical application) or through Unix commands, typically

To look up the right package name, run apt-cache search followed bytypical words of that package. The strength of the apt-get wayof installing software is that the package and all packages it depends onare automatically installed through the apt-get install command.This is in a nutshell why Ubuntu (or Debian-based Linux systems)are so user-friendly for installing sophisticated mathematical software.

To install a lot of useful packages for scientific work, go tohttp://goo.gl/RVHixr and click on one of the followingfiles, which will install a collection of software for scientific workusing apt-get:

• install_minimal.sh: install a minimal collection (recommended)
• install_rich.sh: install a rich collection (takes time to run)

Then click the Raw button. The file comes up in the browser window,right-click and choose Save As... to save the file on your computer.The next step is to find the file and run it:

The program will run for quite some time, hopefully without problems.If it stops, set a comment sign # in front of the line where it stoppedand rerun.

File sharing

The Ubuntu machine can see the files on your host system if youdownload VMWare Tools. Go to the Virtual Machine pull-down menu inVMWare Fusion and choose Install VMWare Tools. A tarfile isdownloaded. Click on it and it will open a folder vmware-tools-distrib,normally in your home folder. Move to the new folder andrun sudo perl vmware-install.pl.You can go with the default answers to all the questions.

On a Mac, you must open Virtual Machine - Settings... and chooseSharing to bring up a dialog where you can add the folders you wantto be visible in Ubuntu. Just choose your home folder. Then turn onthe file sharing button (or turn off and on again). Go to Ubuntu andcheck if you can see all your host system's files in /mnt/hgfs/.

If you later detect that /mnt/hgfs/ folder has become empty,VMWare Tools must be reinstalled by runningsudo perl vmware-install.pl as above or

Backup of a VMWare virtual machine on a Mac.The entire Ubuntu machine is a folder on the host computer,typically with a name like

Ubuntu Vmware Install

Documents/Virtual Machines/Ubuntu 64-bit.Backing up the Ubuntu machine means backing up this folder.However, if you use tools like Time Machine and work in Ubuntu duringbackup, the copy of the state of the Ubuntu machine is likely tobe corrupt. You are therefore strongly recommended to shut down thevirtual machine prior to running Time Machine or simply copying thefolder with the virtual machine to some backup disk.

Ubuntu Machine Vmware

If something happens to your virtual machine, it is usually a straightforwardtask to make a new machine and import data and software automaticallyfrom the previous machine.
