I am running Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit, and using vmware player to run Windows 7 32 bit as guest with vmware tools installed.

I can't get the shared clipboard to run!

I found that I must also install vmware tools on the host (Ubuntu). How can I install vmware tools on Ubuntu 14.04 ?

I tried to download the deb package from vmware website but I didn't find a version for 14.04. When I browsed older versions of Ubuntu I found about thirty .deb packages. I don't know which I must download.

Any ideas?

  • Can you link to the site where it is said that you have to install on host as well? I can't find any mention of installing on the host in VMWare docs (like http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1035392). – muru Jul 08 '14 at 00:42
