How to enable copy from Windows 10 and paste to Ubuntu.

Feels like I found an answer (I used it for 17.10 )

In the terminal window execute this command to remove any previously installed tools:

sudo apt-get autoremove open-vm-tools

and after that execute this command to add tools:

sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools-desktop

and a final thing: do not forget to reboot.

It worked very well for me!

  • I dit it. It works... but copy-past file doesn't work from host(Debian 10) to guest(Debian 10). Copy-past files works only from guest to host. Any ideas? – rulet Dec 26 '19 at 11:09
