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
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:
Fix
sudo vi /usr/lib/systemd/system/vmtoolsd.service
and then in this section
[Unit]
Description=VMware Tools
ConditionVirtualization=vmware
Add the following line at the end
After=display-manager.service
So that it looks like:
[Unit]
Description=VMware Tools
ConditionVirtualization=vmware
After=display-manager.service
and restart your guest. You should see the display adapt.
