ubuntu 17 copy-paste | install vmware tools

By OK -
Ubuntu 17
1) sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools
2) sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools-desktop
3) restart the guest operating system

and this seems to have fixed the copy-and-paste issue for me
================

o install VMware Tools in a Linux guest operating system using Compiler:

  1. Ensure that your Linux virtual machine is powered on.
  2. If you are running a GUI interface, open a command shell.

    Note: Log in as a root user, or use the sudo command to complete each of these steps.
  3. Click VM in the virtual machine menu, then click Guest > Install/Upgrade VMware Tools.
  4. Click OK.

    Note: In some cases, verify that the CDROM device is Connected from within the Edit Settings option of the virtual machine.
  5. To create a mount point, run:

    mkdir /mnt/cdrom
  6. To mount the CDROM, run:

    mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
  7. To copy the Compiler gzip tar file to a temporary local directory, run:

    cp /mnt/cdrom/VMwareTools-version.tar.gz /tmp/

    Where version is the VMware Tools package version.
  8. To determine the version of VMware tools, run:

    ls /mnt/cdrom

    You see output similar to:

    # VMwareTools-5.0.0-12124.tar.gz
  9. To change to the tmp directory and extract the contents of the tar file into a new directory called vmware-tools-distrib, run:

    cd /tmp
    tar -zxvf VMwareTools-version.tar.gz
  10. To change directory to vmware-tools-distrib and run the vmware-install.pl PERL script to install VMware Tools, run:

    cd vmware-tools-distrib
    ./vmware-install.pl

    Notes:
    • Complete the screen prompts to install the VMware Tools. Options in square brackets are default choices and can be selected by pressing Enter.
    • To compile VMware Tools successfully, you need gcc Compiler and Linux Kernel sources provided by your Linux distribution. Consult your Linux distribution documentation for details on methods to install these packages.
    • It is normal for the console screen to go blank for a short time during the installation when the display size changes.
    • Some warnings or errors are normal, like when a files does not exist.
    • Depending on the Linux distribution, your network service might restart after installation. VMware recommends that you invoke this command from the console and not remotely.
  11. If you are running a GUI interface, restart your X Window session for any mouse or graphics changes to take effect.
  12. To start VMware Tools running in the background during an X Window session, run:

    /usr/bin/vmware-toolbox &
  13. Depending on your environment, you may need to unmount the CD-ROM. To unmount the CD-ROM, run:

    umount /mnt/cdrom
  14. Depending on your environment, you may need to manually end the VMware Tools installation. To end the VMware Tools install, click VM in the virtual machine menu, then click Guest > End VMware Tools Install.
  15. To remove VMware Tools installation packages, run:

    cd
    rm /tmp/VMwareTools-version.tar.gz
    rm -rf /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib

NFS mount add in fstab _netdev instead of default | firewall-cmd --list-all

By OK -
Redhat recommends us to add  _netdev  option for NFS file system in /etc/fstab. So that they can be mounted after starting the networking service. Alternative ways to refer to partitions: Label : LABEL=label Network ID Samba : //server/share NFS : server:/share SSHFS : sshfs#user@server:/share Device : /dev/sdxy (not recommended) Example #1 //192.168.1.134/share_name /mnt/share_name cifs username=server_user,password=server_password,_netdev 0 0 ^ Path to your share ^ Mountpoint ^ Username ^ Password ^ See note A Note A: The  _netdev  options makes sure the mount is only attempted AFTER a network connection has been established. Example #2 10.10.10.1:/vol1/fs1 /data nfs defaults,_netdev 0 0 ============================ [root@localhost ~]# firewall-cmd --list-all public   target: default   icmp-block-inversion: no   interfaces:   sources:   services: dhcpv6-client high-availabi...
