So I have setup a fresh install of a Fedora 34 KDE guest on a Windows 10 host using Workstation Pro 16.2.
In the VM settings under "Guest isolation", both drag and drop and copy and paste are enabled.
In the guest, the guest tools are installed and running as confirmed from the output of
systemctl status vmtoolsd
However, clipboard sharing is not working in either direction. After trying various fixing attempts I found googling around, including fresh installs and multiple restarts of both the guest and host, I ran out of ideas and installed the standard Fedora 34 distribution, using gnome as desktop environment.
Surprisingly, clipboard sharing works out of the box. Are there any KDE specific fixes one can attempt to make this working?
I can't believe it, but this seems to still be an issue.
You've replied to a 2 ½ year old post with no details.
Can you provide the Workstation version, host operating system and version, and Linux distro?
I've abandoned my attempts to use KDE in a VMware Workstation VM, but here's the info:
It's mostly likely a KDE issue anyways. I did find this bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=459389, though my issue was not resolved when I tried using X11 instead of Wayland.
