is the one that makes copy-paste and drag-and-drop to work.
Both are needed and the one with args: -n vmusr. You can also check that two (2) vmtoolsd daemons should be now running in your system. The script /usr/bin/vmware-user-suid-wrapperstarts the user-space daemon of vmtoolsd and it can also be run manually ] & /usr/bin/vmware-user-suid-wrapperĪfter you add that in your Linux/Ubuntu $HOME folder, just log out and restart Ubuntu/Linux-guest OS, log in. # Note: this should run automatically with xdg/desktop entry, but it doesn't :( # VMware: make copy/paste and drag/drop to work in Ubuntu Desktop guest The most general and thus the best way to make copy/paste to work in VMware (version 14 atleast) running Linux/Ubuntu Desktop guests is to add the below bash-script to your $HOME/.profile:
Copyq run in background how to#
The same general methods may work in other guest OSes, but I don't have the details of how to do that. There are various ways to insert delays, and Rob van der Woude has a rather darn comprehensive list of those ways. I use this in a batch file with a 1-second delay between each line. Maybe its startup parameters are the same, maybe not. I know the "vmtoolsd.exe" used to be called something else in previous versions. Of course your mileage may vary, and if you have comments on my answer please let me know. Start "" "C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Tools\vmtoolsd.exe" "-n" "vmusr" My Fix: Stop the vmware tools service "VMTools," exit/kill the vmware tools tray app, restart the service, restart the vmware tools tray app.Ĭommands to run in Windows guests, as Administrator: (tested in powershell and CMD) net.exe stop vmtools (Though, this clipboard working and then suddenly not working has been happening in previous versions of MacOS and previous updates to Fusion 8.)
Copyq run in background update#
(And yeah, I am aware I'm using different VMWare, different host OS, and different guest OS compared to those specified in this question, but it really seems to be a vmware tools thing, so hopefully it will help some people who land on this page like I did.) Of course you have to have VMWare Tools installed - update them first probably - and the guest isolation options must allow copy/paste as others have mentioned. It looks like there are a number of possibilities to cause this copy/paste dropout failure between hosts, so I'll add my fix here.
