VMWare 17.5.2 on Windows, KDE Neon Unstable. Installed vm-tools.
On SDDM screen it perfectly runs: window is fitted to all screen, mouse runs from-into VM without borders, copy-paste from host works. But after logged in with my user it does not work at all, I even have to hit Alt-Ctrl to get the cursor control to Windows back.
Locking user → on the lock screen it does not work, but if I hit “login with different user”, then it works again.
Seems some service is not starting under my user. Found a ton of information, but nothing helps me.
