    I'm running both 7.04 and 7.10 in VMware. I followed the install procedure
    Titled: How To Set Up VMware Tools On Various Linux Distributions

    I used the the procedure for 7.10, it installed, ok!
    but I cant copy & paste!

    is there a fix available?

    cheers!

    Are there any errors in your logs?

    No!.... thats strange part. Both times the install went flawlessly.
    both version showed the VMware Tools menu when you type
    "vmware-toolbox" into terminal
    Except, that the 7.10 version would NOT copy and paste.

    Today however when I started 7.10, I could copy and paste between it an XP
    But I could NOT copy and paste using 7.04.

    For some strange reason things have reversed. :(

    tearing hair out wont help either :)

    Did another cold reboot:

    Now I see yesterdays install of Vmware Tools is already outdated today,
    that why I could NOT copy and paste using 7.04.

    Now maybe tomorrow I'll find out 7.10 is also outdated :)
    right now all is OK

    cheers!
