### VMWare Tools Adaptive Display Resolution Does not Work with Manjaro Guest
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On install Manjaro will have `open-vmware-tools` installed and running. However, this package appears to be *mostly* unmaintained
|
||
|
|
and doesn't seem to work out of the box.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Reproducing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Type the following commands
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
sudo systemctl stop vmtoolsd.service
|
||
|
|
sudo systemctl start vmtoolsd.service
|
||
|
|
sudo systemctl restart vmtoolsd.service
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The first two commands may not be necessary but I chose to completely bring it back down and up before restarting. After the
|
||
|
|
restart your screen resolution should adapt. If this is the case, apply the following fix to make it permanent:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
sudo vi /usr/lib/systemd/system/vmtoolsd.service
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and then in this section
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
[Unit]
|
||
|
|
Description=VMware Tools
|
||
|
|
ConditionVirtualization=vmware
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Add the following line at the end
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
After=display-manager.service
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So that it looks like:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
[Unit]
|
||
|
|
Description=VMware Tools
|
||
|
|
ConditionVirtualization=vmware
|
||
|
|
After=display-manager.service
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and restart your guest. You should see the display adapt.
