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
