facing the copy and paste issue again now.

before issue was caused by the failure of the open-vm-tools service to start automatically, but it has been resolved now.
However, this annoying issue has occurred again.
No problem was found during the service check.
I have always been curious why the official personnel do not attach importance to this damn issue. There are too many such issues, of course, most of them are from last year or earlier. I believe that many people have already solved the problem (including me).
The same issue has occurred multiple times, which is disappointing and frustrating.

When did this issue occur?

It occurred after I updated the system within the last 5 minutes.
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Is this issue happening only on Kali Linux or have you encountered it on other systems as well?
kali.. ubuntu.. debian..
I have encountered this issue on all three operating systems.

Describe the solution you'd like

just want everything to function properly!! I no longer dare to expect too much!!

Tried reproducing the issue on all the 3 OSes you mentioned, but the issue could only be reproduced on Kali Linux VM (6.1.0-kali5-amd64).

On Ubuntu (22.04) and debian (11) I did not see the issue after upgrade.

Can you please mention the Ubuntu and Debian Oses version?

I tried to update and upgrade seperately, upgrade is what which stopped copy and paste. After restarting the VM I don't see the issue.

For now as a workaround I will suggest you to please restart the VM after upgrade for copy and paste to work.

[vmwkruti1111]

Also do provide where your VM is running workstation/workstation player/fusion/fusion player and its version.

@vmwkruti1111
Thank you for reply.
This problem is directly related to the desktop system..
This error is very strange, I tried yesterday and still have the same problem (make sure all services start successfully)
But just tried again without any issues
The desktop environment I use KDE

vim /etc/xdg/startkderc
[General]
systemdBoot=false

But this code solves the problem that KDE cannot start open-vm related services.
I'm confused now, I feel like this problem is random neurogenesis
