Display resolution of comments from Linux fails in fullscreen

(Apologies to the Group: I feel that this topic was covered in a previous thread, but I searched a bit and it not found.)

I have a lot of iMac 21.5-inch (1920 x 1080). It is currently running OS X 10.11.2 El Capitan. For some reason, the new 8.1 VMware cannot display jobs Linux properly in mode full-screen. He remains in initial mode low resolution, set scaling to fit the screen. It is never used to occur in earlier versions of Mac OS X (host) and previous versions of VMware Fusion. Which adds to the frustration, is that Linux distributions have not 1920 x 1080 is available as a pre-installed in display settings resolution.

She can relate to VMware Tools. Some distributions have open-vm-tools pre-installed. If I try to install the VMware tools that come with VMware Fusion 8.1, I get a warning that open-vm-tools is preinstalled and should I use open-vm-tools.

-> How people are working around the issue?

You can try this, in the Terminal of the client:

sudo apt - get update


sudo apt - get install open-vm-Tools-Office

... to restart the guest and see if it works now.

  • BSOD 'ATTEMPT TO RESET DISPLAY DRIVER AND RECOVER FROM TIMEOUT FAILED'

    Have uninstalled and reinstalled several different drivers working for my ATI Radeon 4850 graphics card, enhanced help uninstall to completely clean out the old driver.  Yet the BSOD "ATTEMPT TO RESET DISPLAY DRIVER AND RECOVER FROM TIMEOUT FAILED" persists!  It must be either a hardware problem, or something in my system is corrupting each new driver installed.  During start-up small red dots like the semicolons appear on the black screen.

    Someone at - it ideas?

    When the pilot is off my machine works still but roughly.  When the driver is disabled is the video card died with my work machine entirely from the BIOS.  or is the video card still operates with a crude driver from the bios?

    Am I correct to observe that this problem only occurs with AMD graphics cards?

    Thank you

    This was related to your video driver 4 year and liked it, I delete the current driver and install the latest driver available.

  • Comments from Linux is dying

    I have vmware esx 3.5.

    I have 2 clients (Linux CentOS 5) on the machine, but for some reason, one of them is locked and I can not yet raise from the VMware console.

    There's just 95%...

    I have to restart the whole box.

    How can I solve the problem?

    Any suggestions?

    Besides another guest works very well.

    Best way to kill / restart the virtual machine is to go to the console (ssh) ESX and:

  • Comments from Linux and NTP

    I use a virtual machine of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 on ESX 3.5. Lately, the ntpd service has been stopped and is a descendant of sync time. Then you must manually restart the ntpd service and the clock is correct once again (for a little while). We have not configured for synchronization with the ESX host. The ntp.conf file has both of our DCs in this document, so it syncs with them. other 2 Linux servers have this same problem but all other Windows and Linux servers are fine.

    Anyone seen this before? I don't know if it's because it's a virtual machine or it is a totally separate issue with the Linux server.

    Thank you

    Hello

    It's really not easy to say why it happens. I think that it of difficult to reproduce this problem, because it happens that sometimes ;(
    You said you are using Vista Ultimate.
    Have you checked if this happens using the Vista OS since the Toshiba Recovery CD?

    It would be very interesting to know if this occurs on laptop with Toshiba to factory settings.

    I found a thread on a similar theme;
    Someone suggested to update the graphics driver.

  • Toshiba Satellite A100-683 - display resolution of 1280 x 800

    Hallo,

    I just had an upgrade from Windows Xp to Windows 7.

    I downloaded and installed all the drivers for this model of Toshiba web site, including the ATI mobility radeon X 1600 driver and the Mobile Intel (r) 945 GM Express Chipset controller 0.

    Later, while trying to set the resolution of the screen, I realized that I could only choose between 1024 x 768 or 800 x 600, but I don't know that before the operation I could put also the resolution of 1280 x 800 (maximum display resolution). In fact, the display resolution was much better than now.

    Can you help me please? How can I return to the maximum display resolution?

    Thank you very much in advance and greetings.

    Antonio

    Once more here to add some details: I tried to install the ATI mob. rad + Nvidia drivers, which can be downloaded from this site for Satellite A100-683 + windows 7 display.
    The second (Nvidia) seems to be the right one, as stated in the description (improves the features of the screen and allows different settings, etc.), but it doesn't seem to work.

    Any help? Thanx

  • Satellite P300 - display resolution incorrect if the external monitor is connected

    I wanted to use a monitor BENQ of WAP 2010 with my Satellite P300 laptop operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit.

    When I connect it, the display resolution changes to an unusable.
    I installed the latest ATI drivers that I downloaded from the Toshiba site. Max screen resolution is 1680 x 1050. This resolution no longer exists after the connection of the monitor.

    Also, I can't set the correct resolution for the LCD display of the laptop more.

    How set up the screen, so that the monitor displays a clone of the LCD screen for laptop and find the correct resolution?

    Hello

    > Max monitor resolution is 1680 x 1050. This resolution no longer exists after the connection of the monitor.
    Please understand that not all possible solutions are supported by a graphics card chip or a graphics card driver.
    If one of the parts mentioned would not support this resolution then you will not be able to choose and use the external monitor!

    In your case, I recommend the manual of your laptop.
    There you can find a list of available external resolutions and supported.

  • Change not anchored to a specific display resolution (HP Zbook15 with adapters dual display)

    My HP Zbook 15 contains both an Intel HD 4600 Graphics and an NVIDIA Quadro K1100M graphics cards. When I remove my laptop it seems to use the Intel card (Intel HD Graphics of icon in the task bar). I think that this display adapter limits the choice of my resolution of screens. I would use a resolution of 1280 x 720 for presentations on the web.

    Anchored with connected screens, it uses the NVIDEA card that offers a wide range of display resolutions.

    Question: Is this possible undocked to switch to the NVIDIA graphics card or add a display resolution of 1280 x 720?

    Thank you

    René

    I could solve it myself by downloading the latest Intel driver from HP's Support web page.

  • Display resolution of poor on HP Touchsmart j003cl want

    People,

    So I just got the j003 Touchsmart from HP Envy with 16 GB, 1 to and i7 processor and the Intel HD Graphics 4600.  I love everything about it, except that the display quality is the worst I've seen from a laptop in 5 years.  Its Win8.1 running.  I have to think that there is a way, this can be improved.  I followed some advice on these forums, remove display drivers and reinstall the chip intel pilot followed by the HP - still awful display driver.  Totally unacceptable for such a system.  Knowing what I know now, I wish that I got with the chip nVidia video.

    in any case, I'm almost ready to get back to that now, but hoping someone can help me with something to improve display quality/resolution.  The max resolution on it's 1366 x 768 and grainy as hell.

    Advice on how to improve this display quality or even the possibility of uprading the chip.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Display Client 5.0.1 not auto adjust / resize the display resolution

    I read every article I can find on the VDI configuration and configuration of the server connection view to auto setting of the display resolution.  My problem is that the width is auto adjust so I can see black borders on both sides of the screen.  In reading several manuals installation VDI for XP Pro, I have read several methods to set the various parameters and none do not work properly.  I read that while implementing the guest remember to install the VMWare Tools ' before 'to install the Agent, or there may be problems. "  The second trick is to set the prompt on 800 x 600 and PCOIP will automatically adapt to the display resolution the resolution of your computer 'customer '.  The third is the server connection for the value of the high resolution enabled and some articles defined on 2 screens and others say say to max it to 4. The fourth is to add the line svga.vramSize = (value in bytes) of the .vmx file and restart the client.  None of them allow the automatic adjust/resizing auto option works correctly when you run the client View 5.0.1.   In testing, I found the only way to make this work (sometimes) must open vCenter, right clicking on a prompt and by selecting "open console" and allows you to manually adjust the display of the prompt resolution to match the 'client' display resolution.  Tab 'Settings' is not available in the client display settings when connecting using the Client from the view, this is possible in the vSphere or vCenter client. Either way, it seems to work correctly is to use the RDP Protocol. When you use the RDP Protocol, it seems to auto adjust correctly. I would use PCOIP as my favorite protocol so that is the purpose of this post.  If there is a tip I read not somewhere I would greatly appreciate advice on getting this feature correctly configured.

    More information on client computers.  They are all laptops Dell E6410 running XP Pro with billboards attached to their default resolutions of 1440 x 900.

    Thanks in advance for advice.

    Yes, I see that it's a lot.

    Common practice should be to install the Agent discovered the last thing before the virtual machine snapshots.

    I'm glad it works for you now and thanks for posting back the resolution.

  • Why my "display windows and tabs from last time ' does not work?

    Hi all

    I used to have my settings set to "display windows and tabs from last time." For some reason, it does not. Whenever I close my tabs, Firefox warns you me I close many tabs, and when I reopen it Firefox, I only get my home page.

    In the menu options, I put 'windows and tabs from last time' options, and in private life, I have "Firefox will remember history", so I do not think it is related to my settings.

    I saw a thread on 'browser.sessionstore.enabled' must be true about: config, but I don't have even a name preference that says "browser.sessionstore.enabled. Maybe that's the problem? If so, I have NO IDEA how to fix this. I only am not at all computer savvy.

    If someone could find a solution to this very annoying problem, I would be very grateful. If it takes a lot of work of programming/techno, please be VERY descriptive (pretend I'm a 5 year old child in giving directions).

    Thank you!

    Browser.sessionstore.Enabled is no longer used, worry not if you can't find it.

    In case you use "clear history of Firefox closing:

    • do not erase browsing history – which will prevent the restoration of the work session.

  • How can I get Firefox to display the Facebook comments to my blog the Huffington Post?

    I am a blogger for the Huffington Post. They recently moved all comment to Facebook activity, and I see comments from readers via Internet Explorer, but not with Firefox. I would like to know what to do about it? I see a small link that takes me to a page of information "Facebook Social Addin", on Internet Explorer. Missing Firefox? Or is there another solution?

    Your "Disconnect" extension aims to reduce multisite followed by Facebook? It is possible that is a factor because I think that the code that retrieves the observations (hosted on connect.facebook.net) can be on the same server as the code that generates the button I like.
