Re: Fusion 10 on Mojave; Gray window by all VMs; T...

Hi,

I have the following problem:

I'm using the (for today, latest beta, 9 I think) of Mac OS Mojave as host system with Fusion 10.3.1.

This results into a problem I searched already for days..
All my VMs (Windows, Linux etc..) are rendered "gray" into the running VM window.

But in the VMWare Library I can see, that the VMs are running and reacting on mouse and keyboard input.

I can see that, because a smaller thumbnail is rendered as copy to the real window view.

I tried already to play with preferences of the VMs and uninstalled und reinstalled VMWare again (even older VMWare Versions for comparison), but no
success. Anyone had also such a problem and know what to do, to fix that?
Thank you very much.

Regards,
Max

Hi.

Ok, I tried it, but still the same results: Gray - Windows:

I've added a screenshot which shows the problem.

Wow, that's a new one.

I've got the GM Mojave running, and no issues, but that's just one data point. Do you happen to have GFXCardStatus or something similar running that's taking control over the graphics chip usage?

hi,

"I've got the GM Mojave running, and no issues, but that's just one data point. "
None I would know of.

I think this also only starts by an distinct beta, even not the first one of Mojave..
thx.

Ok, also with the final release there is still all not rendered.
Maybe the macbook pro GPU is gone..
Do someone know something, how to verify that?
Thx

Hi mr_miyagi,

Can you share the hardware model of your Mac host, especially the GPU model.

Also, would you try to disable 3D acceleration for VM and see if it helps?

It would be helpful if you can post the vmware.log to this thread.

Regards,

Same here. Just did a brand new Fusion 11 installation and I'm having this exactly same issue. I've tried to configure all available video options for the guests and had no luck.

Hi

i have the same issue as you，I caused the problem by executing the following command:

defaults write -g NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool Yes

or

defaults write -g NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool No

My solution is to execute the following command to reset and restart your system:

defaults delete -g NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance

I hope that helps. Thank you！
