Hi,

I'm running a Kubuntu 18.04 VM in VMware Work station. I'm unable to copy/paste anything to, or from, the VM. The VM has open VM tools installed. I have tried removing and re-installing open vm tools, but this hasn't helped. I run a few other Linux distro's and haven't encountered this issue.

VMware workstation 14 Pro - 14.1.2 build-8497320.
Open VM Tools 10.2.0.1608

Has anyone else come across this issue?

ANSWER: I installed VMware's VMTools and this fixed my problems. A suggestion from the Kubuntu IRC channel was to try "sudo apt update && sudo apt install open-vm-tools-desktop -y" this didn't work for me.
