Hope these data points help in some way. On Arch with all the latest updates, the systemctl stop vmtoolsd.service and systemctl start vmtoolsd.service did not change the behavior. changing the resolution afterwards to anything and apply, works for a second and then reverts back to 800x600 Going to try editing the file. Also going to try the latest Neon, as it also failed previously, even after installing the open-vm-tools package. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
