Hi,
I have installed the View agent, registered the guest with connection server and can connect to it using PCoIP client. However copy/paste, drag and drop and file sharing do not work.
I have installed every open-vm-tools* available onto the guest machine (apt-get install open-vm-tools-lts-trusty open-vm-tools-lts-trusty-desktop open-vm-tools-lts-trusty-dkms && apt-get install open-vm-tools open-vm-tools-desktop open-vm-tools-dkms) individually and together.
Running vmware-user-suid-wrapper manually in the logged in session produces error could not open proc/fs/vmblock/dev . lsmod does not show vmblock module loaded, nor can it be found if I attempt to modpobe it manually.
Anyone got this working on 14.04.03?
My Versions:
Agent: VMware-viewagent-linux-x86_64-6.2.0-3016404
Kernel: 3.19.0-33-generic
open-vm-tools-*: 2:9.4.0-1280544-5ubuntu6
P.S. I don't think this is not due to policy in View Connection Server. MMR, USB redirection are all enabled.
The documents are for vSphere, not for Horizon Linux Desktop.
Horizon Linux Desktop 6.2.0 has no support on copy/paste.
Horizon Linux Desktop 6.2.1 will be released soon, which has official copy/paste support on RHEL/CentOS 6.6 x64. For Ubuntu 1204/1404 x64, though there is no official copy/paste support, it should work.
Copy/Paste doesn't work for Ubuntu 1204 or Ubuntu 1404 yet.
There's a bunch of documentation that lead me to believe it should work.
For example:
open-vm-tools with clipboard and drag and drop on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr · GitHub
Ubuntu Manpage: vmware-user - GUI tool "Without a running vmware-user process, interactive X11 sessions will lack GUI features such as drag-and-drop (DnD), file and text copy/paste, dynamic display resizing, and Unity."
So it seems I just need to mount the vmblock filesystem and run the process - which doesn't work - and so I thought I was just doing something wrong.
When you say it doesn't work yet, is this based on some official VMWare documentation?
