Im trying to install CentOS 6.4 minimal as a guest OS so I can have a linux install to play around with.
#VMWARE FUSION MAC INSTALL UBUNTU MAC OS X#
That's basically it and it normally even works for switching to a different linux distribution. Simply scroll down the Product Release Version list box and choose your version of VMware Fusion. Im running VMWare Fusion 6.0.1 on Mac OS X 10.8/10.9. The /etc tarball should not be put back, it is for comparison only in the case something works different, to aide you in troubleshooting in case something didn't come up as you had hoped. Untar the user home folder over the new user you setup. Fusion installed successfully, downloaded Ubuntu ARM 64. Upon installing, a pop up box said I need to install Rosetta, which I clicked. Setup a new user, with same name as you had before, make sure that userid/groupid match.įor software you had installed you can try a dpkg -set-selections, but you might just want to install it manually unless you're comfortable with running dpkg. I have Mac Mini M1 and I am able to install VMWare Fusion Pro 12.


To make a record of what you have installed you can use:ĭpkg -get-selections > dpkg-selections.txt Then also make a copy of your /etc folder (like another tar file) What you normally do in such a case is to make a tarball of the user home folder. Now that sounds bad, but it isn't as terrible as it sounds (although it might depend a bit on the complexity of your setup, if you run things like databases then it might be a bit more complex on backup/restore those) The solution to do that actually IS a clean install. Ubuntu has no upgrade path from 32 bit to 64 bit.
