Looking at the open-vm-tools package libfuse-dev is a dependency : -- https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/open-vm-tools
I figured that probably did not get pulled in correctly so I grabbed libfuse-dev on Linux Mint 18 -- sudo apt-get install libfuse-dev Then I just reconfigured and restarted the VM. Copy/Paste and Monitor Res are back. Here are the specifics of the kernel: uname -a 4.4.0-21-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 18 18:33:37 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1513531 Title: Error while installing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1513531/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
