Hi,
Congrats for this post, I’ve just followed its instructions without problems.
How can I know if open-vm-tools (or o-v-t-desktop) are running properly?
I try to simply drag and drop some pic from my W10 desktop to my Ubuntu 18.04 vmware virtual machine desktop but i can not.
Am I missing anything??
Thanks
Gustavo
