How To Install VMware Tools In Kali Linux

By

    This tutorial will explain how to install VMware Tools in Kali Linux. This is a almost necessary install, as VMware Tools makes your life much easier in many aspects. This tutorial assumes that you already have installed Kali Linux in VMware Player or Workstation. If this is not the case, then follow my other tutorial here on how to do that.

 

Step One:

Open a Terminal and type apt-get update

The Terminal should then be filled with text similar to this after executing this command:

2

If your Terminal looks like this after executing this command:
1
Then you’ll need to add official Kali Linux repositories. Follow this guide on how to do that.

 

Step Two:

Now you need to install Kali Linux headers. Type this command:

apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r)

If you get an error after executing the above command, then you’ll need to update the Kali Linux repositories. Go here to do that.

 

Step Three:

After Kali Linux has completed installing the headers, and you are presented with the root@kali prefix again, type this into the Terminal to install VMware Tools:

apt-get install open-vm-toolbox

Kali Linux should install VMware Tools, and you’re Terminal should look like this:

3

 

Step Four:

Now reboot Kali Linux by typing reboot in the Terminal.

After Kali Linux restarts, you should be able to adjust the size of the screen fluently, and copy files/text from Kali to your main OS, and from your main OS to Kali.

Thank you for using our tutorial!

How To Add or Remove System Icons From The Kali Linux Desktop

By
When Kali Linux is started, there are always one or more system icons on the desktop. “Computer” is usually a default icon. However, some people might like to remove this icon and/or add other icons like the famous “Trash” icon. All the other tutorials will tell you to use the Linux, “gconfig-editor,” but Kali Linux does not have this system editor! I believe I am the only one who knows of a way to do this, so let me share my knowledge in this simple tutorial. Step one: Start and login to Kali Linux using your account or the “root” account. Step two: Open the main menu. Hover your mouse on “System Tools,” and click on “dconf Editor.” After a few seconds, the dconf Editor will open. Now all you have to do is browse to the correct category and set the options. Step three: When the dconf Editor window opens, click on the plus sign next to “org” (located in the left pane). Step four: Now click the plus sign next to “gnome.” Step five: Scroll down the list in the left pan...
