Can't not copy - paste to work for Workstation Player 12

Hi all

I am Windows 7 64 as host with Linux Mint 17.2 as a guest.

I installed the VMWare tools and have shared between the two, so folder * something * working at least

However, I can't just managed to copy - paste between host and guest, regardless of the 'management', and what I do...!

Someone has any advice / tips / ways to debug this issue?

Thanks in advance!

Hello

My bad, managed to miss the little 'Player' in the title of your question.

Guess I'm still getting used to that the player now also has "Workstation" in the name.

The parameters of insulation look good.

VMware Player indeed does not have the characteristic shared virtual machine so it can't be the issue.

VMware Player must run a process on the guest in order to provide the feature.

What the output you get when you run:

PS AX | grep vmware

In addition what desktop environment are you running Mint?

In the past, it was supplied via the command vmware-toolbox, this command no longer exists (there is a variant of vmware-toolbox-cmd, but it does not look like it provides copy & paste integration) if I'm not mistaken, this feature is now provided by vmware-user process.

If the ps-ax above command shows a vmtoolsd process, kill it via the process number and run vmware-user (as a normal user)

Here is my test of this output:

$ sudo ps ax | grep vmware
  1514 ?        Ssl    0:00 /usr/sbin/vmware-vmblock-fuse -o subtype=vmware-vmblock,default_permissions,allow_other /var/run/vmblock-fuse
  2301 ?        Sl     0:04 /usr/lib/vmware-tools/sbin64/vmtoolsd -n vmusr --blockFd 3
  2895 pts/4    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto vmware
~$ kill 2301

Now test and see if he has been killed correctly:

~$ sudo ps ax | grep vmware
  1514 ?        Ssl    0:00 /usr/sbin/vmware-vmblock-fuse -o subtype=vmware-vmblock,default_permissions,allow_other /var/run/vmblock-fuse
  2301 ?        Dl     0:04 /usr/lib/vmware-tools/sbin64/vmtoolsd -n vmusr --blockFd 3
  2898 pts/4    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto vmware

Still there, so I was a little inpatient, seems he needs time to clean properly, IOW do not not a kill-9

Another try:

~$ sudo ps ax | grep vmware

  1514 ?        Ssl    0:00 /usr/sbin/vmware-vmblock-fuse -o subtype=vmware-vmblock,default_permissions,allow_other /var/run/vmblock-fuse
  2910 pts/4    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto vmware

Now gone.

~$ vmware-user
~$ sudo ps ax | grep vmware
  1514 ?        Ssl    0:00 /usr/sbin/vmware-vmblock-fuse -o subtype=vmware-vmblock,default_permissions,allow_other /var/run/vmblock-fuse
  2995 pts/4    S      0:00 /usr/lib/vmware-tools/sbin64/vmtoolsd -n vmusr --blockFd 3
  3022 pts/4    D      0:00 /usr/lib/vmware-tools/sbin64/vmtoolsd -n vmusr --blockFd 3
  3032 pts/4    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto vmware

Commissioning, the list again:

~$ sudo ps ax | grep vmware
  1514 ?        Ssl    0:00 /usr/sbin/vmware-vmblock-fuse -o subtype=vmware-vmblock,default_permissions,allow_other /var/run/vmblock-fuse
  2995 pts/4    Rl     0:01 /usr/lib/vmware-tools/sbin64/vmtoolsd -n vmusr --blockFd 3
  3162 pts/4    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto vmware

And the normal demon is now running.

If the vmtoolsd process is not displayed in the list, then just run vmware-user (yet once just run as a normal user) and it should start the daemon as above.

Try copy & paste now works.

    Dear friends

    Helps to solve a problem related to the fields of PDF text, please

    Is there a way to make a PDF of the respondent, which ends of fields text to type own text not copy/paste of the previous text fields?

    Thank you very much!

    Copy the following code, used as key event custom field of your field, will prevent to enter more than one character at a time, which means that copy it text from an external source is not possible:

    if (event.change.length>1) event.rc=false;
    

    However, you can inform your users of this restriction, or they think that something is wrong with the file.

  • Can not copy / paste from one folder to another.

    Just recently, I can't copy and paste a word document to a different folder, and my office is locked and can not move icons. I've unlocked settings, also tried to reconstruct the dates. Running advanced system of care. Creates a new user. Nothing works. My computer as most of the people is a tool and not used to play games, it's time to implement a different system, that is to say Windows 7 or wait 8. I honestly thought that XP Pro has been very stable and I have all the important issues in over 5 years, and in this case. This is the result of an update?

    Hello

    1 did you change your computer, after which the issue started?
    2. the issue of copy paste only occurs with Microsoft Word?

    Windows XP is still very stable and reliable. If you want to upgrade to Windows 7 or Windows 8, you can do it. It's a good idea to upgrade your operating system to get used to a new User Interface that would give you a new experience altogether.

    Follow these steps and check if the problem persists.

    Step 1:

    Test the issue in safe mode.

    Step 2:

    If the problem does not occur in safe mode, I suspect that there is a conflict of software of third party causing the problem to occur. I suggest that you start your computer in a clean boot State in order to eliminate conflicts of third party software.

    Install a screen capture program.
    I use Picpick which is a 'free' SnagIT version.
    It contains an option called scrolling window.
    It should be used to capture a page that is too long to be displayed on the screen without using the scroll bar.
    You can use Pickpic to capture the list of programs and features.

    Once the entire list is captured, you can use send to option and send it to MS Word.
    (You can just copy and paste an image captured in any application you want.)

    If you are interested, here is the download link for Picpick:

  • Bridge CS6 Mac XMP file Info group bug: can not copy / paste metadata

    The cmd keys / shortcuts does not work in btw xmp file info panel. in the xmp / iptc fields (e.g., cmd-c, cmd + v,...) of Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac OS 10.6.8 and 10.7.3). You are not able to copy / paste information from one box to the other like the previous versions.

    This bug appears in the Info window of the file (open via alt + i) xmp in Bridge CS6 - if you change the information or metadata in the file info panel in Photoshop CS6 copy and paste from one field to another works.

    Shortcuts also work under Windows (tested on Vista).

    More than a month ago, I noticed this minor bug already in version beta of Photoshop CS6. I hope that this has been corrected in the official test version, but unfortunately it isn't. Although it is a minor bug, it is in my humble OPINION, a basic function and it would be very useful in my daily work - it's a shame, such a little thing does work with the application a bit boring.

    Well, you can always use the context menu to copy and paste.

  • Copy / paste stops working in Windows 7 Pro

    Hello

    We have a PC running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, Quad i7, 8 GB of RAM. The machine is used for editing desk top - CS6 Adobe, Microsoft Office 2003, CAD. The machine will be left on for extended periods of time. Reboots occur if the system plays to the top (which is rare), or when Windows Update requires a restart.

    In rare cases, copy and paste in Windows work stoppages - which means that nothing can be copied and pasted between any application: Notepad, Word, Wordpad, etc. InDesign. CTRL + C and Ctrl + V do not. If we use the Edit menu to copy, and then in the same application or in another application click Edit, paste to the option is grayed out.

    A reboot will fix it.

    I ran SFC/scannow, but no problem not found:

    Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
    Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

    C:\Windows\System32>sfc/scannow

    Start scanning system.  This process will take time.

    Start of the phase of verification of the scanning system.
    Full check of 100%.

    Windows resource protection did not find any breach of integrity.

    C:\Windows\System32 >

    Even if a reboot can solve this problem there are times where a large number of applications will be open and restart becomes a major obstacle. I don't want this issue to become a common problem, so I was wondering if you people had any suggestions that I could try to track down why it happened and how I can prevent it or even provide a fix that re - allows you to copy paste & without requiring a reboot.

    Thank you very much.

    There is a long thread here on this subject, with several proposed solutions.

  • Microsoft Works will not copy - paste from a website.

    I think I ran across of junk on the internet that it messed up, but I don't know enough about this to say. Microsoft Works will allow me to copy everything that I have stressed on a web page. However, when I try to paste on a works document the program tells me that "the information you copied exceeds the size limit to paste into the word document. Try to reduce the size of your choice and copy and paste again". Information can be as small as the letter 'I' and I get the same message.
