Vmware Workstation 17.0.2/17.05 Error while copying no such file or directory

[abrahamlrouse]

Hey everyone I have installed VMWARE Workstation 17.0.2 and 17.0.5

I have been having issues with the Clipboard sharing when it comes to file sharing

I have installed open-vm-tools latest version

typed in sudo apt install open-vm-tools-desktop

it installed but it didnt work I Installed it again

still didnt work

ADDED NON FREE REPOSITORY

typed in sudo apt install open-vm-tools-desktop/bookworm-backports 12.30 version of open-vm-tools

doesnt work still

I dont want to use any third party sharing for files OR shared folders

Anyone have an idea on whats causing it?

but this is the error message in the pictures below

Host kernal is 6.1.0-13

I even went back and tried 5.10.26 did not work

I saw on github that it was gonna be fixed on the current release 17.0.5 but i heard this issue hasnt been resolved since 2020. Is it the kernal settings or the host modules vmmon vmnet causing the issue or a permission issue to diagnose the issue where is the log file located

As already stated this is a user forum, I expect most people contribute in their own spare time.

When you say 17.0.5 do you mean the new 17.5.0 release?

yes
