配置archlinux 进行安装 vmware tools

如果在虚拟机安装archlinux，最好安装上vmware tools。

一、安装open-vm-tools

pacman -S open-vm-tools

运行结果：

[congbo@kiss-arch ~]$ sudo pacman -S open-vm-tools

二、启动VMware tools

/etc/rc.d/open-vm-tools start

或者在启动时候自动加载，加入到/etc/rc.conf里面daemon一行：

DAEMONS=(.... ... .... open-vm-tools ...)

注意：x86_64没有open-vm-tools包

运行结果：

[congbo@kiss-arch ~]$ /etc/rc.d/open-vm-tools start
:: Starting Open Virtual Machine Tools                                   [BUSY] FATAL: Module vmblock not found.
                                                                         [FAIL] 
[congbo@kiss-arch ~]$ 

三、安装open-vm-tools-modules

sudo pacman -S open-vm-tools-modules

运行结果：

[congbo@kiss-arch kernel]$ sudo pacman -S open-vm-tools-modules
[sudo] password for congbo:

[congbo@kiss-arch kernel]$ 

再开启vmware tools就没上面的错误了。

四、配置vmware tools

pacman -S gtkmm

运行结果：

[congbo@kiss-arch ~]$ sudo pacman -S gtkmm
