DetailsDescription:
https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/issues/568 vmware-user-suid-wrapper randomly failed to start with a timeout state when using systemd, making copy & paste not work. We should add a wrapper like what openSUSE does. (https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/issues/568#issuecomment-1178736806) This wrapper works fine on my machine. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install Arch as VMware guest, use a WM/DE like KDE in my case 2. Install open-vm-tools 3. Boot to graphical.target. Copy & paste not working. Systemd log shows as below (from the issue): $ systemctl --user --all status × app-vmware\x2duser@autostart.service - VMware User Agent Loaded: loaded (/etc/xdg/autostart/vmware-user.desktop; generated) Active: failed (Result: timeout) since Fri 2022-07-08 18:36:15 NZST; 7min ago Docs: man:systemd-xdg-autostart-generator(8) Process: 726 ExecStart=/usr/bin/vmware-user-suid-wrapper (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 726 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) CPU: 235ms Jul 08 18:36:10 eos-kde systemd[528]: Starting VMware User Agent...
