About the problem of not copying and pasting between a host and a virtual machine after a vmware-tools upgrade

VMware's upgrade compatibility is not as perfect as it seems, and type Vmware-tools automatically updates when updates are always available by default. My version of Ubuntu:ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso

Vmware:vmware_9.0.2.35902.exe The default installation, the two can perform mutual copying of files, copy and paste operations. But after you've upgraded VMware, you can't. Online check some data, probably some version compatible solution, download c file, and so on, tried a lot, operability is not strong, think about it, rather than switch back to the original version of VMware.

The situation is probably divided into the following two kinds:

1, VMware initial installation, directly under the configuration can be:

Click Edit--> Preferences--> Updates (automatically update VMware Tools on a virtual machine before the option is removed, will not be automatically upgraded when the boot)

2, VMware has been upgraded, copy, copy, paste operation has been unable to perform, you need to restore vmware-tools to its compatibility mode

Edit--> Preferences--> Workspace (select your version in Default hardware compatibility)

My version here is Workstation9.0.

Another: If your vmware,vmware-tools just installed on the already can not perform copy, copy, paste operation. That will require you to look carefully for VMware, which matches your Linux.
