But NEVER have installed any VMware-specific version of ANY of those OS's. I have, over the years installed every Windows OS since Win NT 4.0 ten times over. I have a couple of Win 11 VMs, installed with different ways.
I have installed just earlier this year, 10+ Linux versions to test (*buntu, other Debian related, Fedora, Puppy Linux, Arch Linux-related). It looks very confusing for me, from virtualization point of view. I'm not sure what it tells about the Guest and I looked at Kali download site. please, read the explanation from an expert for better understanding what really happens with mice.Īs for your specific mouse problems - It seems that Kali isn't supported as Host. The solution was to enable smooth scrolling on Windows 10.

It was about scrolling not working on a Windows 10 Host with Win 11 Guest.

Īs for mouse problems - there is perhaps an interesting discussion about mouse-things on Workstation Pro Forum, just from yesterday.

With Debian-family, you install Open VMware Tools just like anything else on *buntu. What I meant was a distro-specific install. I just have been using it extensively, together with my world-wide colleagues, for 15+ years in an extensive manner. Thanks for the explanations and further questions.įirst, I can only talk from my own perspective - I have no idea of the internals of VMware company or software. I'm not saying that there aren't Linux specific problems, but they are elsewhere (like with NTFS-filesystem and copy between Host and Satellite). Not sure if *buntu had any such problems, but perhaps some other distro has without VMware Tools. The missing VMware Tools install, might be the reason for ALL your reported problems. As for instructions, you can google for it, or just use this VMware link: However, does Kali have that in its delivery site (source of packages)?įor your specific problem to install VMware Tools, it is not a problem - it just doesn't work like that. There is a compatibility list for supported Linux distros - probably available on VMware site.Īs for your specific case, I have learned on this Forum that Open Source version of VMware Tools is recommended - with *buntu, I have never used it, no need, but in your case that might be the right choice. I'm not an expert on Kali Linux, but your problems seem to be specific to that distro (or that family).
