The VMware Tools for Linux guests have more or less been deprecated, and are only recommended for older Linux OS's. Most modern Linux systems use the open-vm-tools. There are two different packages - one handling the drivers and another handling the desktop (copy/paste, etc). Make sure you have installed both.
