Getting Started

First, download and install VMware Player (link below). It is a free download, but requires registration.

You may see some prompts about installing drivers; simply approve them. We didn’t see them on our latest test, but have in the past. When you are finished installing VMware Player, you will have to restart your computer.

Install Ubuntu

Once you have installed VMware Player and downloaded Ubuntu, you’re ready to setup Ubuntu. Open VMware Player, and choose “Create a New Virtual Machine.”
You must login or register to view this content.
You can install Ubuntu from a disk, or directly from the ISO file you can download (link below). This is the simplest method if you’re simply wanting to use Ubuntu in VMware Player. However, if you do have an Ubuntu disk, then feel free to choose that instead. Once you’ve selected your install media, VMware Player will automatically detect Ubuntu and will show that it will be installed with Easy Install. Click next to continue.

Now enter your name, user name, and password. All fields are required.

Please note that the username can only have lowercase characters and numbers.

Also, the password must be at least 8 characters long.

Now, choose a name for your virtual machine and where to save it. Simply click next to accept the defaults.

You can choose how large you want your virtual hard drive to be; the default is 20Gb, but you can choose a different size if you wish. Please note that the entire 20Gb will not be used up on your hard drive initially. Ours only took up 3.6Gb with a clean install, but this will increase as you install programs and save files.

And that’s it! You can review your settings and change them here if you wish, or simply click Finish to start installing Ubuntu!

VMware player will now install Ubuntu without any further input. The window may show cryptic commands, but don’t worry, as you don’t have to do anything else to install Ubuntu.

During the install, you may be prompted to download and install VMware tools for Linux. Simply click Download and the tools will automatically download and install, though you may have to approve the UAC prompt.

VMware will continue installing Ubuntu even while the tools are downloading. Once the install is finished, you will be presented with your Ubuntu login screen. The full install took about 30 minutes.

Select your user name, then enter your password to access Ubuntu.

Welcome to your Ubuntu desktop!

Integrate Ubuntu with Windows

You can already use all of Ubuntu’s tools and features directly from the Ubuntu desktop in VMware Player. But, if you would like to use your Ubuntu programs seamlessly in Windows, we need to activate Unity mode. Click VM and then Unity Mode in the VMware Player Menu.
You must login or register to view this content.

Now, you will have an Ubuntu menu right above your Windows Start button!

You can run Ubuntu windows side-by-side with Windows 7 windows, and can copy and paste, drag-and-drop between the windows, and more! The Ubuntu programs’ icons show up in the taskbar the same as normal Windows programs.

You can access all of the files in your Ubuntu virtual machine from the Ubuntu menu. Select Other, and then choose Computer or Home Folder.

Hey, about the Charles application. It closes every 30 minutes and I need it open to get onto the GAME SERVERS, not PSN. Is there a way to have it open for ever or is there a crack to get the full version? AND DELETE ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS SO I CAN ADD YOU!
