Update (6/19/19): Since writing this post, I found an easier solution. I’m not sure why this is happening, but my guess is that waking from sleep, Windows 10 isn’t getting the correct resolution from my monitor fast enough on some occasions. All the sudden, my monitor auto adjusted and I was able to select the 1920x1080 recommended resolution.
I just unplugged my monitor and then plugged it back in. Additionally, VMware’s “Autofit” options will work properly again.I researched online and tried many things such are uninstalling my video adapter’s driver and reinstalling the driver, but to no avail. Thanks, Matthew!Īfter the modification, it should look like this: ĭescription=Open Virtual Machine Tools (VMware Tools)įinally, you can change the screen resolution right after booting the system. While the screen resolution can be modified instantly afterwards, you’ll have to redo this process after a reboot.Ī more permanent solution is a modification of the systemd unit file /usr/lib/systemd/system/rvice.Īs Matthew pointed out in his comment, you should avoiding editing the unit file manually and use the systemctl edit rvice command instead. Temporarily, it’s possible to (re)start the necessary service with the systemctl restart rviceĬommand. According to an entry in the Manjaro forums (dated May 2019) shows two possible solutions. The underlying issue is that the systemd service providing the VMware Guest Tools is not starting properly.
I was able to reproduce the issue with my VM running Manjaro with the KDE desktop. Since the screen resolution is pinned to 800×600 pixels, it’s almost impossible to properly use the VM.
Neither changing the resolution manually nor using the “Fit Guest Now” option is working correctly. Due to a bug in current versions of Manjaro, it is not possible to change the screen resolution if Manjaro is running as a VMware guest.
