It seems this is a known bug in Fedora 34 with the KDE/Plasma spin: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1953472 As of today, the workarounds that seem to work are these: After logging in, open a command shell and manually invoke program vmware-user-suid-wrapper OR Follow Rex Dieter's advice in Comment 4 of the Bugzilla bug report (#1953472) mentioned above, i.e., * edit /etc/xdg/startkderc, set systemdBoot=false * log out * when logging in to plasma, choose x11 session type (instead of wayland) Either of these two methods ensures the logged-in user has the required vmtoolsd process: $ ps aux | grep vmtoolsd someuser+ 17188 2.7 0.8 507108 35332 pts/1 Sl 19:20 0:00 /usr/bin/vmtoolsd -n vmusr --blockFd 3 == EDIT == Corrected a typo in Rex Dieter's name.

I'm having the same problem with Fedora 34; copy-and-paste isn't working between a Windows 10 host and the VM.  File drag-and-drop between the Windows 10 host and the F34 VM is also not working. FWIW: I'm using the KDE/Plasma spin of F34, and I've tried both the Wayland and X11 login options.  (I typically use the X11 login option.) Have you figured out a solution to this problem?

I just installed Workstation 6.5.0 on an XP Pro SP3 host, and then I created a Vista Enterprise SP1 VM. The Vista VM has VmWare Tools installed. With the Vista VM running, I select the Vista VM in Workstation, I open Workstation's "VM" menu, select the "Settings..." option. Then, on the "Virtual Machine Settings" dialog I select the "Options" tab, and then I select the "Guest Isolation" setting. In the "Guest Isolation" group I check the options "Enable drag and drop" and "Enable copy and paste", and click on the dialog's "OK" button. (See the attached file: GuestIsolationSettings.JPG) With these settings selected I cannot copy and paste text (or anything else) between the XP host and the Vista VM. Nor can I drag-and-drop files between the two. (I also tried checking the "Enable VMCI" checkbox on the "VM Settings >> Options >> Guest Isolation" settings group, but that doesn't resolve the problem.) Is there something else I need to do to make these tasks work? Jim
