I agree that 1024x768 (or perhaps 800x600 to allow for window decoration) is a reasonable default if you're running in VMware (at least as long as adjusting the guest resolution to the host window isn't supported).
You can check whether you're running in a virtual machine by calling vmware-checkvm of the open-vm-tools package. (There shouldn't be any licensing issues with those FWIW.) -- Screen resolution in VMware is huge https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202863 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
