Add Nutanix Guest Tools to Debian

Right-click on the virtual machine and choose Manage Guest Tools.

Next, a dialog window will appear with many options. Select all of them.

Afterwards, click the Submit button.

Click on Activities, type Ter , and click on Terminal when it is listed.

First, verify that lvm2 is installed with the command:

sudo apt list | grep lvm2

In the listing, lvm2 should be listed with "[installed]" next to the name. As an example, the listing to the right does not list "[Installed]" so it needs to be installed first.

To install lvm2, enter the following command:

sudo apt-get install lvm2

The package manager will verify which packages need to be downloaded. Then it will prompt to continue. Answer Y and press enter to continue.

After that it will download the packages and install the packages. lvm2 is a fundamental set of system packages so a lot of post activities will take place.

After the packages are installed, they are configured, symlinks are setup, and then post processing takes place for system level reconfigurations.

At this point, it should be possible to install the guest tools with the following command:

sudo python3 /mnt/installer/linux/install_ngt.py
