Now you can boot your VM and follow the graphical installer. If you wish to use the graphical installer you’ll need to increase the RAM allocated to your VM from 512MB to 768MB. At this time I would not recommend using “easy install”, so uncheck that and continue. I’m using VMware Fusion 2.0.x, but behavior should be largely the same for any recent VMware release.įirst, create a new VM and point the installation disk at your Ubuntu 9.10 ISO. With the release of the Ubuntu 9.10 RC it’s time to revisit installing Ubuntu into a VMware VM. sudo apt-get install build-essential, choose install VMware Tools from the menu, copy tar to desktop, untar, sudo. Update: If you’re using VMware Fusion 3.0 or any VMware Tools version 8.2.3-204229 or better you can follow a drastically simplified process.

No real obstacles for those running the latest Fusion/Workstation.

Update 2: Preliminary 10.04 instructions are available here.
