I have been fighting clipboard issues between host and guest for about a year now. I had ubuntu18 host now converted to windows10 host to try to fix the issue as it seemed to be getting worse. The clipboard worked for a day or two with win10 host and ubuntu 19 guest, brand new installs for both OS and then clipboard stopped working in less than a week. Reboot of host makes it work for about 5 minutes but it has since gotten worse. Now there is absolutely zero collaboration ability between my guests/host with zero functionality of clipboard even after removing/reinstalling open-vm-ttols (VMWare suggestion for ubuntu) and removing and rebooting, reinstalling and rebooting, still no go. Isolation tools are disabled. There are 100's of posts on the internet about this issue but appears to be zero answers from VMWare. This software is almost worthless without clipboard and after a few days it will even kill my clipboard host to host, this is completely unsuitable for any project where the user needs stability and basic collaboration functionality between VM's. The problem continues to get worse and worse and worse. I have wasted dozens of hours working around collaboration issues, I have wasted dozens of hours trying to fix the problem, I have lost data during the reimages to try to fix it, everything yields a worthless piece of software in the end and a lot of wasted time and I paid for this product. I dont know what the solution is but feeling like its going to have to be something other than VMWare. Its a shame, such a simple basic feature but amazing how unusable a multi-vm system is without it, I might as well not even be running VM's.
I guess I will post this on the 100 threads I can find about it and complain because thats the only option VMWare has left for me, absolute garbage.
