I installed Mountain Lion and then I tried to run and then got this error:
The virtual machine cannot enter Unity mode because:
- The guest operating system does not have VMware Tools installed.
- The guest operating system's resolution cannot be changed.
Then I try to update tools:
Could not find component on update server.
Contact VMware Support or your system administrator.
Arkadi's answer is right, here are the detailed actions:
(See also this post for more snapshots)
Download darwin.iso.
Right click your virtual machine in vmware
Click the settings menu item
Select CD/DVD item in the left UI
On the right UI, select and mount the darwin.iso.
Now, the vmware tools installation is started in your Mac OSX virtual machine:
You can download VMWare Tools and graphic driver from here:
VMware_Tools
Graphic Driver - VMsvga2
The links supplied in Boris M answer points to software that is outdated and opens ad-ware sites in browser after install.
Here are the official darwin.iso (9MB) and darwin.iso.sig files from VMware Fusion 6.0.4 for Mac. Put it into vmware/isoimages/ folder next to other ISO files.
Unfortunately, VM > Install VMware Tools menu entry still won't work, so attach the ISO manually and install the package.

Host: Mac OS Ventura
Guest: Oracle VirutalBox 6.1
After the recent OS upgrade to the Ventura on Mac, I am not able to start my virtual box. It used to work perfectly before the upgrade. I have tried other versions of virtual box, such as 7.0, but I am still getting the following error.
Any help would be appreciated .
Thanks.
===================
The virtual machine 'Oracle Linux 9' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1).
Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:
MachineWrap
Interface:
IMachine {85632c68-b5bb-4316-a900-5eb28d3413df}
=======================
Mac OSX Ventura doesn't work with VirtualBox 6.X
download latest 6.X and unpack virtual box 6.X
run the uninstall virtual box tool (you need to approve in System > Privacy and Security > allow run the uninstall tool.
Now You need to download the last version VirtualBox 7.x
after download unpack it
run installer
you need to authorize Oracle kernel extensions System > Privacy and Security > allow Oracle Kernel Extension
Restart
Now Run VirtualBox from Application folder.
Probably you will need to recreate your network adapter in VirtualBox > File > Tools > Network manager
After installing Ubuntu 18.04 on Virtual Box 6.1 the screen is small and we are unable to install Guest Additions.
If you try to access the mounted guest additions ISO image directly, you get mount errors.
Changing the Screen resolution of the Ubuntu worked for me.
Go to Displays Setting and change Resolution.
On the internet people are giving different solutions that could end up corrupting the installed guest OS. After trying multiple times to have the screen size resolved with Ubuntu 18.04, Virtual Box 6.1 running on Windows 10, here are exact steps that will help:
Make sure to install VirtualBox Extension pack from -
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
Opt to do "normal installation" with following selected - "Download updates while installing Ubuntu" and "Install third-party software for graphics and Wi-fi hardware and additional media formats"
After installation, system will restart but the screen will be small
IMPORTANT STEP: If you click on 9 dots (Show Applications), you should see icon for "Software Update" (spinning circle with A on it). Click on it and ensure all the pending updates are installed
Once all the software updates are completed, open terminal and run following command - sudo apt install gcc make perl
Then click on Devices > Insert Guest Additions CD image
While guest addition is being installed keep focused eye on the output. If any dependencies is missing, you will see it on the screen. If all dependencies are resolved the auto-run should install the guest additions for you and clearly state that install additions will not activate until restart.
Restart the OS and you should see full screen on load.
With latest VirtualBox version 6.1.4, the above did not work as the issue was in Guest Additions 6.1.4. Installing Guest Additions 6.1.5 from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds solved the problem. For details refer -https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/19336
Also I had to assign more display memory. After logging in I have to press Ctrl + F or view > full screen to let the screen scale.
Hope this helps!
Install Virtual box on mac OS +10.3 with security kernel can failed. After you have this message :
Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
because you have to add editor Oracle in the list of security kext.
If you have chance, you can see the ask for authorisation in Preference -> "Security and Privacy".
But it was not my case. I want to share the solution, because it was a really pain for me:
Add Oracle editor in this authorization list.
Restart your mac in Recovery mode (cmd + R)
Then open a Terminal and enter : spctl kext-consent add VB5E2TV963
Restart your mac.
VB5E2TV963 is the code for oracle.
It's ok for me with Mojave and Virtual Box 6.
I'm working with a Redhat VM that indicates VMware Tools OSPs is installed and running, since its VMware Tools status in vSphere is "Running (3rd-party/Independent)". I have also verified that the VMware Tools daemon, vmtoolsd, is running by running the following command ...
# pgrep -fl vmtoolsd
>> 6048 /usr/bin/vmtoolsd
However, whenever I try to run the vmware-toolbox-cmd command, it says command not found. What is this VM missing that it has VMware Tools OSPs installed but does not have the command for it?
There is no GUI interface called vmware-toolbox with vmware player 5 (and other newer products), as per Installing and Configuring VMware Tools:
The graphical user interface for VMware Tools, which is sometimes called the VMware Tools control panel and which is available from the notification area in the guest operating system, has been deprecated
You can however find settings for the toolbox, say "Update automatically", in the graphical user interface of the VMWare Player on the host (as in Player -> Manage -> Virtual Machine Settings -> Options -> VMware Tools).
As for vmware-toolbox-cmd doesn't do anything"? You bet it does, read the doc above.
I have a Java application that I'd like to distribute as a virtual machine appliance image (ovf or ova) for VMware and VirtualBox using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. The image would include the operating system itself, required OS packages, my Java application, all pre-configured and ready-to-run when powered on.
What's the best way to create OVF and OVA files?
I have been working with VirtualBox some and do not feel expert, but here is what I would do.
Download the 14.04 LTS iso image from Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
Build a VM in VirtualBox using the New button. This will be the template for your Appliance.
Give it a catchy name like "Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64amd for Java App". Type should be "Linux" and Version should be "Ubuntu (64 bit) or (32 bit) as appropriate.
Set the amount of RAM necessary.
Click the Create a virtual hard drive now button. Click the Create button. I believe that VMDK Type will help with portability. Select dynamically allocated (makes a smaller ova file), especially if you intend to distribute the ova files. Give the disk image a name and the size that you desire, I think 10GB would be minimum. Click the Create button.
Next select your VM and Click Settings to get the settings window.
Select Storage and then select the Icon for the CD/DVD disk. On the right, click the CD-ROM icon and locate the Ubuntu 14.04 amd 64 iso file that you downloaded. Click okay.
Then click the start button from the main window .
The VM should boot to the ISO DVD image that is in the virtual CD/DVD drive. Respond to all of the prompts. Save the username and password for later.
When the build is done and Ubuntu boots to the virtual harddrive, then apply all new updates: (you will need your password created earlier)
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Then after the reboot, use the "Devices" menu at the top of the VirtualBox window for your VM to "Insert Guest Additions CD Image ..." to install the extras that makes the Ubuntu image work better in the VirtualBox environment.
Now install all of the Java extras and your applications. I can't say much here.
Lastly, using the File > Export Appliances menu option, select your VM from the list and Click Next. I usually accept the format OVF 1.0 and Click Next. Fill in the settings information with links to your support web page if available. I have seen people put the username / password information in the description field for distribution. Then Click Export.
You should have a new OVA VirtualBox Appliance.
