How do I set the screen window size in a guest LinuxMint17 (WS7)?

I am always on WorkStation 7 (last revision) because I discovered that after installing the update I bought I would be able to use 7 and I need that for some of my virtual machines...

Anyway, now I need to test some features of Web server and need a KDE LinuxMint17 machine for this.

Installation went well and I also installed the virtual machine; Tools of dishes without problem.

As part of the installation, I put the size of the screen for the guest to 1024 x 768 in the properties of the VM.

Then I could install the basic software that I need the terminal of the virtual machine.

But it turns out that this screen is too small for the webbrowser, I need to run inside the guest, so I stopped and then replaced by the properties of the vm to display 1280 x 1024.

The strange thing is that the guest does not adjust when I start again, it always appears in the size 1024 x 768.

So I'm looking for help set the size of the screen correctly in the comments of LinuxMint17...

Is it possible to make the largest screen in Linux?

I looked at the System_Settings/Display_And_Monitor inside the guest, but I do not get a way to resize it.

Or maybe there is way to allow resizing screen in VMWare Workstation settings for the prompt instead?

Note that I have running in a window rather than the full screen because I use it as a test machine for stuff that happens in Windows...

I tried Googling for Linux screen size settings but came empty-handed, suggestions addressed the other issues...

I do not use Linux Mint but on other Linux Distros, I use the xrandr from a Terminal command to set the resolution of the screen when it is not available from the GUI.

Execution of xrandr by itself will be out the available resolutions then, for example, use: xrandr-s 1024 x 768

    How to set the position and size of the façade using the FPRunTimePosRunCustom method in a c# application?

    I found a solution! -Set the size and position of the façade with the help of the

    File > VI properties > window running Position (in category list) > custom (in position of menu drop-down).

    then just accept the current position and size (leave the boxes checked) or set values you want directly (uncheck the boxes and fill in the numbers), or physically position and size the façade and use, the "set to current location" button and press "set size" current All that is easier for you.

    OK so it does not make use of the method VI Methods (Active X) FPRunTimePosRunCustom ([Position], [Size]) but if labview want to make him difficult to use then other means must be found.

    Hello

    One possibility would be to disable the clickpad function that is causing this behavior.

    You can do the following.

    Open windows control panel and on the top right, next to the display by: select "large icons".  In the new page layout, select the entry of Synaptics.

    The option, you must disable is called "Edge slips" - just click the box to remove the check mark, then click on apply and Ok to save the setting.  For an example, see the picture below.

    Hello Pidcock,

    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

    I understand that you want to change on your computer sleep timer. I'll be happy to answer that question for you. Now you have not specified what operating system you are using, so I guess it's the same operating system provided with your computer (Windows 7). I will provide you the HP support document: Management of power (Windows 7 and Vista) Options, which will guide you in how to set the power of your laptop. Just in case you have upgraded to Windows 8 I am also including the HP Support document: Manage the power (Windows 8) Options. This document will guide you through the same steps in Windows 8.

    I hope that I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thanks for posting this question on the Forums of HP. Have a great day!

  • How can I set the DSO AU to 8 MB during install/config grid Infrastructure?

    Hello

    How can I set the DSO AU to 8 MB during install/config grid Infrastructure? Storage installer screens do not have the ability to set a caliber of more big to ASM when creating initial DATA DG, just go with the value defaults to THE (1 MB). Our SAN provider did studies and for ASM a framework to THE 8 MB instead of the default 1 MB will give better performance. Is there a template that I can change preinstall so the installer will create the DG with a frame of 8 MB DATA?
