I am at a loss as to how to continue, and any help would be much appreciated. This is done automatically by selecting Virtual Machine > Install VMware Tools. I have checked and made sure that the vmware tools iso is in the virtual cd drive(it's connected to /usr/lib/vmware/isoimages/linux.iso on the host machine. Also, creating /dev/cdrom and attempting to mount results in the above error also, with /dev/cdrom in place of the other. Which I think is due to me attempting to mount something that's not in /dev. There is a ~/cdrom and a /media/cdrom and a /media/cdrom0 but all of these result in the error: mount: /media/cdrom0 is not a block device So I get the error: mount: special device /dev/cdrom does not exist Except there is no /dev/cdrom or indeed anything remotely similar inside /dev. Most tutorials say to do something akin to this: mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdromįine. However, having googled around for some time, I can't figure out where the cdrom is. a little window comes up saying I should press install, then mount the cdrom in the guest vm, decompress the installer and run. I go to Virtual Machine > Install VMware Tools. The VM I'm doing this on is Metasploitable 2(ubuntu) I'm on Kali Linux, using VMware player 7. I know this should be easy, but I'm having a hell of a time figuring out where the vmware tools cdrom is (for instance it's not /dev/cdrom) and so I can't figure out how to mount it.
