| − | This article describes how to get Archlinux running in a VMWare virtual machine when you're using ''systemd'' as SysV replacement.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Prerequisites ==
| |
| − | Please install the ''open-vm-tools-modules'' from the ''Community'' repository.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Drivers ==
| |
| − | Add the VMWare drivers to your ''mkinitcpio.conf'':
| |
| − | {{Hc|head=/etc/mkinitcpio.conf|output=
| |
| − | ...
| |
| − | MODULES="vmsync vmblock vmxnet3 vmwgfx vmw_ballon vmci"
| |
| − | ...}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | Now you have to rebuild your kernel:
| |
| − | # depmod
| |
| − | # mkinitcpio -p linux
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Systemd scripts ==
| |
| − | In the following steps you have to create some systemd scripts so that the ''vmblock'' driver can be used successfully.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Create the following files:
| |
| − | {{Hc|head=/etc/tmpfiles.d/vmblock.conf|output=
| |
| − | # creates the directory which is used by the vmblock driver
| |
| − | d /tmp/VMwareDnD 1777 root root}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{Hc|head=/etc/systemd/system/proc-fs-vmblock-mountPoint.mount|output=
| |
| − | [Unit]
| |
| − | Description=Mount the vmblock device
| |
| − | ConditionPathExists=/proc/fs/vmblock
| |
| − | After=vmblock.conf
| |
| − | Requires=vmblock.conf
| |
| − | | |
| − | [Mount]
| |
| − | What=none
| |
| − | Where=/proc/fs/vmblock/mountPoint
| |
| − | Type=vmblock}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | == VMWare user suid wrapper ==
| |
| − | The following script is responsible that you can resize the window of your virtual machine:
| |
| − | {{Hc|head=/etc/xdg/autostart/vmware-user.desktop|output=
| |
| − | [Desktop Entry]
| |
| − | Type=Application
| |
| − | Name=VMWare User Agent
| |
| − | Exec=/usr/bin/vmware-user-suid-wrapper
| |
| − | Icon=system-run
| |
| − | Comment=Enable Unity, DnD, etc.}}
