Sometimes my Ubuntu virtual machine looses copy/paste from windows host functionality. I'm too lazy restart whole machine. How to restart just vmware tools?

  • Start the process after a VMware Tools software upgrade, or if certain features are not working. Open a terminal window and type the vmware-user command. Ref link – EODCraft Staff Apr 2 '18 at 10:05

This worked for me when the resolution of my Ubuntu 18.10 VM wasn't updating automatically:

sudo systemctl restart open-vm-tools

I'm using open-vm-tools/open-vm-tools-desktop 2:10.3.0-0ubuntu3.
