Installed a new vmware workstation 15.5.1 on win10 pro, using linux/unbuntu 18.04 guest
Trying to get to install the vmware tools (not sure what options I may have selected when I installed the work station). But the install vmware tools menu is disabled. When I run my VM then I see: re-install menu that too is disabled.
How do I fix this.
Without it cut-n-paste etc not working
For tools installing on ubuntu, please use cmdline to install instead of using workstation menu

I tried this - I can see the vmtoolsd process running.
Problem not solved, no change in behavior - still cant cut-n-paste, nor can I move up the cursor above the prompt and no-scrollbar
Note: Using VMware Player 15.5 and Ubuuntu Server 18.04
Can you use cut-n-paste by share folder? You can enable the sharefolder by settings->Options->Shared folders->Always enabled-> Add a folder on your host
I have shared folder enabled.
I don't quite understand "Can you use cut-n-paste by share folder? "
