Taking a 'Fresh' VM, you will need to do a few things before it can be used. Here is a checklist:
Rename the VM's files and machine
If the files started as Fresh (Ubuntu x64 12.04 LTS).*, rename them to a more project-specific name.
You will then need to open the *.vmx file, and modify its contents.
For example, find & replace Fresh (Ubuntu x64 12.04 LTS) with ProjectName.
Also locate and modify the displayName="" line.
Rename the files Fresh (Ubuntu x64 12.04 LTS).* to ProjectName.*.
Wipe off the old NIC
Often not necessary
Startup the VM, and clean out /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules.
Change the hostname
In the following files:
-
/etc/hostname -
/etc/hosts
And run hostname <new-name>
