Describe the bug

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

Reproduction steps

  1. Download ubuntu server .iso file for ARM
  2. Create deafult user-user and apt install ubuntu-desktop
  3. Reboot
  4. Apt install open-vm-tools-desktop
  5. Reboot
  6. Try to drag&drop on ~ folder from host desktop
  7. Check failure :)
