When I paste text from windows (host) into the vmware's linux shell (guest) some characters are substituted by others; for example:
slash (/) is rendered with dash (-).
Windows and linux (ubuntu server 16.04) use both the same language and keyboard layout.
Is there a way to solve this issue?
Solved in this way:
chsh -s /bin/bash username

While doing some web development, I needed to have Memcached (source code) installed on my local machine to closely simulate what was going on my server.
How to install Memcached on Windows?
Steps to install Memcached on Windows:
Download a stable version, in either 32-bit or 64-bit I have tested the 64-bit version.
Unzip it in some hard drive folder. For example C:\memcached
There will be memcached.exe file in the unzipped folder.
Open a command prompt (need to be opened as administrator).
Run c:\memcached\memcached.exe -d install
For start and stop run following command line
c:\memcached\memcached.exe -d start
c:\memcached\memcached.exe -d stop
As told in some previous comments the v1.4.4 is sometimes coming from a trusted source, sometimes not and it becomes hard to find. But there is now a very stable Windows native port for both 32 bits and 64 bits versions.

It's running well on our two PHP servers (PHP7 and PHP8).
Hope this helps.
Another Cygwin version is also available here and runs well too

I want to deploy a python project to ubuntu instance on aws from a windows operating system, but all tutorials I have encountered either use ubuntu or mac as their development/local machine.
Is the deployment from windows the same i.e. after createing the instance all I would then be doing from the local windows system would be running inside the ubuntu instance?
is there any tutorial which can help me achieve my objective?
Note i am deploying directly without git.
ANy help would be appreciated
To transfer files to an ubuntu instance you could use SSH, from windows you could download an SSH client such as Mobaxterm (https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/)! or download Windows Subsystem for Linux (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10)! then use SCP to copy files (https://www.computerhope.com/unix/scp.htm)!. Both options require that you have the .pem security file for your instance
Your best bet is going to be installing WSL(Windows Subsystem for Linux) and using that to run bash commands. This will make your life a whole lot easier as you won't have to look for Windows specific tutorials and you can now follow Ubuntu/Linux tutorials.
What is WSL? It is essentially a Linux VM built into Windows. It will provide you with a terminal running Ubuntu or pretty much any other Linux distro you could want.

I googled before and found that by turning on the "Enable copy and paste" under Guest Isolation, I can copy/cut/paste text from guest to host and vice versa. But I don't see "Guest Isolation" after clicking on Player->Manage->virtual machine settings->option. I have tried to install the VMware tools and I seem to have successfully installed it, but still no use. Is this feature only available in VMware pro?
For Ubuntu (Guest OS), you need to install open-vm-tools and open-vm-tools-desktop.
sudo apt install open-vm-tools open-vm-tools-desktop
Some versions of vmware-tools are buggy (copy&paste does not work). Try an older version (they can be downloaded for free from vmware.com).
Note that newer Linux distributions already include the vmware-tools. They may not be installed by default (see this answer).
I am using VMware 12 on my Windows 8 OS. I run Ubuntu 14.04 on VMware. I use both windows and Ubuntu together. The text copied into clipboard in windows cannot be pasted in Ubuntu and vice-versa. I tried using both Ctrl-C- Ctrl-V and also with mouse copying and pasting. This was working in the past. Suddenly, it stopped working.
Any idea how to make this work ?
Have you installed the guest tools for VMWare into your VM?
Also check and make sure shared clipboard is enabled in the VM Settings
I have an embedded Qt application crosscompiled that runs on BeagleBone Black. It works Ok, but one thing- It doesnt accept keyboard input if i wont run in directly on BeagleBone Black preceeding with sudo. This is a problem because:
I cannot remote debug application and use connected keyboard, as it doesnt work,
I cannot use keyboard when the app is in rc.local file to boot at startup (even though sudo is used there).
This is critical for me at the moment and I cannot find solution to the problem for very long. I would really apreciate all help regarding this.
My /etc/enviroment content is here:
QWS_MOUSE_PROTO=IntelliMouse:/dev/input/mouse0
QWS_KEYBOARD=LinuxInput:/dev/tty
TSLIB_CONFFILE=/etc/ts.conf
TSLIB_PLUGINDIR=/usr/lib/ts
Although I have tried many different configurations for QWS_KEYBOARD. The keyboard I would like to use is /dev/input/event1.
I also facing this issue. But in my situation, I use remote desktop from Windows OS to raspberry / beaglebone.
My solution (make sure at least you know how to configure ssh in raspberry) :
install xrdp (sudo apt-get install xrdp) on raspberry / beaglebone / other embedded linux
in PC instal xming (search sourceforge)
open XLaunch, select multiple windows > start no client > clipboard > finish
open putty >> session, enter host name / IP address,
putty >> SSH >> X11 >> check 'Enable X11 forwarding'
putty >> click Open button
login ssh and then type qcreator
now the keyboard should be fine
