Hi,
I have an Arch linux running as a Vmware guest, with open-vm-tools configured as described in the wiki "Install_Arch_Linux_as_a_guest". In the last few months I have been struggling with a strange issue with copy&paste. It ceased working suddenly after some update, and after some trial and error I basically found that I need to stop vmtoolsd and kill any still-running instance before running vmware-user-suid-wrapper.
Reading the wiki it seems that they are two separate entities which can be started at different times (vmtoolsd at boot via systemd, vmware-user must be started later by X or similar), but in practice it does not work... Am I doing something wrong or is the wiki being outdated? Thanks in advance
