Vmware tools drag and drop doesnt work on Ubuntu 24.04 running on MacOS
Im using VMware Fusion Pro 13 on MacOs. Previously I had virtual Ubuntu 23.10, where everything was worked. but it lost support and I wanna use 24.04 LTS. I install server .iso for ARM, apt install desktop, then reboot, apt install open-vm-tools-desktop, and have such problem:
Copy&Paste works well✅
Drag&Drop has animation, but doesnt work❌
when dnd from macos desktop to ~ directory appears side notification “Vmware-user ready”
appears system-settings icon in tray
Copy animation happens, but copy fails (without download progress bar on macos) and file icon stays on top left side of ubuntu’s desktop
when dnd from ubuntu to macosdesktop also appears system-settings icon
But cursor cant escape vmware window
I tryed to:
reinstall,
every combination of enabling and disabling dnd, installing and removing vmware tools - doesnt work.
On one forum found this method to edit /etc/gdm3/custom.conf: remove comment from line #WaylandEnable=false. After reboot I have black screen)
Also found that somebody doesnt have plugin started, but its not mine case:
vmtoolsd -v
VMware Tools daemon, version 12.4.5.49651 (build-23787635)
sudo lsof -p 2630 | grep -i plugins
