windows 7 - Initial Ubuntu guest screen resolution on VMWare -
windows 7 (host) vmware workstation 11.
kubuntu 15.04 guest.
problem:
after system startup, in example, on login screen - screen size/resolution 800x600. ba, earlier - during startup when console active. making window fullscreen isn't helping, console output limits small window in middle.
setting vmware window fullscreen helps little - screen gets bigger (size of host 1920x1080) - guest kubuntu applications windows taking whole screen area. but, example, desktop wallpaper acts still if 800x600 in effect. , inside system settings -> display virtual screen stays @ 800x600, nevertheless resolution list long. unfortunately - 1920x1080 isn't there.
this xrandr shows: screen 0: minimum 1 x 1, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192 virtual1 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm 1920x1080 60.0*+ 2560x1600 60.0 1920x1440 60.0 1856x1392 60.0 1792x1344 60.0 1920x1200 59.9 1600x1200 60.0 1680x1050 60.0 1400x1050 60.0 1280x1024 60.0 1440x900 59.9 1280x960 60.0 1360x768 60.0 1280x800 59.8 1152x864 75.0 1280x768 59.9 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 640x480 59.9
from seems proper resolution set properly.
now, magic. logout kubuntu. login screen taking whole 1920x1080 screen area. settings -> display shows virtual screen 1920x1080, xrandr shows same set of resolutions. vmware tools installed - @ least point have bidirectional access shared folders.
what have proper screen resolution right beginning? yea, know can freeze whole session , resume whenever need it.
my configuration host : windows 7 , vmware guest : ubuntu 14.04. long time i've seen if update vmplayer or software in vmplayer screws display , in full screen can no longer capture host display.so today followed instruction provided in link , fixed without installing additional software.i hope helps other.
at first run :
$ xrandr -q tanay@ubuntu:~$ xrandr -q screen 0: minimum 1 x 1, current 1904 x 1070, maximum 8192 x 8192 virtual1 connected primary 1904x1070+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm 800x600 60.0 + 60.3 2560x1600 60.0 1920x1440 60.0 1856x1392 60.0 1792x1344 60.0 1920x1200 59.9 1600x1200 60.0 1680x1050 60.0 1400x1050 60.0 1280x1024 60.0 1440x900 59.9 1280x960 60.0 1360x768 60.0 1280x800 59.8 1152x864 75.0 1280x768 59.9 1024x768 60.0 640x480 59.9 1904x1070_75.00 74.9* virtual2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) virtual3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) virtual4 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) virtual5 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) virtual6 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) virtual7 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) virtual8 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
then can see output connected,here virtual1 connected. guess resolution screen.for me guessed following configuration.
eg:cvt <horizontal length> <vertical length> <refresh rate> $ cvt 1900 1070 75
the output
# 1904x1070 74.87 hz (cvt) hsync: 83.85 khz; pclk: 216.00 mhz modeline "1904x1070_75.00" 216.00 1904 2040 2240 2576 1070 1073 1083 1120 -hsync +vsync
then need copy text after "modelline" , paste in following command after "newmode" example below
$ xrandr --newmode "1904x1070_75.00" 216.00 1904 2040 2240 2576 1070 1073 1083 1120 -hsync +vsync
then take screen resolution details quote , use in next command.for me command
$ xrandr --addmode virtual1 1904x1070_75.00
the next command set in ubuntu me is
$ xrandr --output virtual1 --mode 1904x1070_75.00
if last command doesn't work you,you can go ubuntu display gui setting , can chose display have added now.for me option 1904 x 1070 (16:9)
however if fine experiment , have found desired screen resolution , make permanent,write last 3 commands starting xrandr --newmode command in .xprofile file using following command , save,exit , restart ubuntu vm , desired resolution permanently.
$ gedit ~/.xprofile
