Unable to install vmware tools on kali linux read only
I have, however, created another user account on the Kali 2019 VM DnD is working for the other user account.ĭnD & copy/paste plugin debug logging may shed some light if you are still having problems. If you are using another user account, then the usual permissions and ACL will apply to the target directory. My testing of DnD was primarily limited to the "root" account on Kali. Objects dropped into the Desktop folder of the File Manager will appear on the Desktop screen. That includes objects being moved or copied solely within the Kali Linux system. As pointed out in the Feb 4th comment, it appears that Kali Linux (or the Gnome desktop configuration) does not allow any object to be dropped directly onto the desktop pane. There is no need for any entry in /etc/fstab.ĭnD simply works at this point. The mount will happen automatically when the service is started at boot Drag and drop doesn't work in either direction.Īctive: active (mounted) since Sun 01:02:50 EDT 10h ago I should also probably clarify that copy/paste works fine in both directions (from host to guest and from guest to host). In my case, the "Enable Drag and Drop" and "Enable Copy and Paste" settings are both selected. Re the comment about isolation settings by I noted that there are isolation configuration settings available in my virtual machine settings also (even though I am not using ESXi, just vmware fusion on my desktop).
