Category: guestd Group: None >Status: Pending Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Lukas Ruf (lukas_ruf) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Cut&Paste fails with latest VMware Workstation Initial Comment: After upgrading to latest VMware Workstation Cut&Paste does not work anymore. Host: unchanged (Win7e, 64b) Guest: unchanged (Debian Linux, openvm-tools stable) Config: unchanged VMware: workstation changed from 7.1 to latest If there is any workaround, please let me know. Thanks Lukas ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Marcelo Vanzin (mvanzin) Date: 2011-10-31 15:57 Message: I think it's clear so far that this is an issue with the Debian packages, so I'll set this to pending. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Marcelo Vanzin (mvanzin) Date: 2011-10-17 10:38 Message: This is looking like a Debian package issue from chip's comments. Also, you should run "vmware-user-suid-wrapper" instead of running "vmtoolsd -n vmusr" directly, or drap & drop won't work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Chip Salzenberg (chip) Date: 2011-10-16 21:32 Message: I meant, I upgraded my vmware *tools* installation to 8.8.0 inside the guest OS. My vmware host was not upgraded, and is not an issue. I don't know if 7.x vmware tools have the same issues, I haven't tried it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Lukas Ruf (lukas_ruf) Date: 2011-10-16 15:12 Message: Chip, thanks for your reply. Does this work with older VMware installations too? Or do I run into backward compatibility problems with VMware v7? Thanks Lukas ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Chip Salzenberg (chip) Date: 2011-10-16 14:42 Message: I've got it working with 8.8.0 and a little debian packaging fu. The trick is to observe that vmware-user is still present, but hidden inside another program. Run "/usr/bin/vmtoolsd -n vmusr" instead. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=989708&aid=3424368&group_id=204462 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your Android app more play: Bring it to the BlackBerry PlayBook in minutes.
