On Desktop we need open-vm-tools-desktop which has dependencies on "open-vm-tools" core package and X libraries and provides additional desktop specific features.
I don't have ESX but with 19.04 and VMWare player easy install, this package is installed and desktop integration works out of the box on first boot. However we have to add this feature to the installer for manual installation for a seamless desktop integration (copy/paste, DnD, …) open-vm-tools-desktop is in universe and must be promoted to main to integrate it to the installer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1790427 Title: Automatically install open-vm-tools when installer running in a VMware VM To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1790427/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
