No need to reboot, just run vmware-user.

| Mar 2, 2022 at 20:14 | comment | added | Sixro | Hi read the comment of @srgstm, but I have the same configuration of him (VMware Workstation 16 on Windows 10), but running Debian 11.x and it doesn't work. I tried also other suggestions here, but nothing. | |
| May 22, 2021 at 11:48 | comment | added | srgstm | I just did "sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools-desktop" and restarted the guest. Copy-and-paste and drag-and-drop now work between host and guest! I have VMware Workstation 16 on Windows 10 host running Linux Mint 19.3 (Ubuntu 18) guest. | |

| May 31, 2016 at 20:36 | comment | added | Billy | I found I didn't need to install VMware Tools. Doing an apt-get of open-vm-tools, then open-vm-tools-desktop, and then restarting worked for me. | |
