Thanks I do use ubuntu 18.04.1 since it's LTS and my customer runs it at their live sites.
I will try you tip and be back. Do you have any info of the vmtools packages I first thought was the open-vm-tools but is not Open VMware Tools ............(CLI) ... (GUI) As I wrote yesterday, I only installed the ... GUI package and both disappeared but it also worked, can the CLI package be the problem? What are they and why are the not in the installed list? They are coming with the update packages, "recommnded".
