I have Ubuntu 12.04 LTS linux running in a VMWare Player 6 VM, in a Win7 host.
This install has been stable for >2yrs, but after some Ubuntu updates today, my screen now boots into 3 repeated and truncated panes. See bottom of msg for how the display shows.
I found this VMWare KB article that describes the issue, but I'm unsure this applies to Player6:
VMware KB: Linux Guest Display Splits into Multiple Panes with Identical Content
I had installed VMWare Tools using the Player controls, but running the prescribed command in Ubuntu terminal:
sudo vmware-config-tools.pl --overwritesvga
....doesn't do anything, just gets me to the man pages for this config package.
Help appreciated! I'm unable to use this VM as is.
