Package: open-vm-tools-desktop Version: 2:13.0.0-2~bpo13+1 Severity: important Tags: upstream
Hello, I am experiencing issues with the `open-vm-tools-desktop` package when using a KDE Plasma session on Wayland within a Debian virtual machine. The mouse pointer remains confined within the VM window, making it impossible to move it outside to interact with the host system (macOS). Additionally, bidirectional copy-paste functionality (from VM to host and vice-versa) is not working. I have confirmed that the `open-vm-tools.service` is active and running (`systemctl status vmtoolsd`). --- **Steps to Reproduce:** 1. Install Debian with the KDE Plasma desktop environment on a VMware Fusion VM. 2. Install the `open-vm-tools-desktop` package. 3. Log in to a **Plasma (Wayland)** session. 4. Attempt to move the mouse cursor outside the VM window or copy/paste text between the VM and the host. --- **Expected Behavior:** The mouse cursor should move freely between the VM and the host, and copy-paste should work in both directions, as it does in an X11 session. **Actual Behavior:** The mouse is locked inside the VM, and the clipboard is not functioning from VM to host. --- **Additional System Information:** * **Host OS:** macOS, Sequoia 15.6.1 (24G90) - Intel * **Virtualization Platform:** VMware Fusion 13.6.3 (24585314) * **VM Desktop Environment:** KDE Plasma * **Session:** Wayland Thank you for your attention to this matter. Andrea
