ubuntu VM screen too big

[trogne]

There's an issue with the screen size that becomes very big with my Ubuntu 16 VM.

Setting the display settings for the VM does not change anything.

This does not happen with a Windows VM.

What happens :

I power on the VM, then once the Ubuntu desktop shows, the Workstation screen because immensely big, and I have to reduce it manually so it fits my screen.

I have Workstation 16 on windows 10.

Thanks for help

Hello trogne​

Have you installed VMware tools?

vmware tools is already installed :

sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools-desktop :

open-vm-tools-desktop is already the newest version (2:10.2.0-3~ubuntu0.16.04.1).

I also have "open-vm-tools"  :

sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools :

open-vm-tools is already the newest version (2:10.2.0-3~ubuntu0.16.04.1)

i finally found the solution after all these years :

View -> Autosize -> Autofit Window (must be unchecked).

Thanks
