The vmwgfx module is loaded by /lib/systemd/system//nf. Hopefully you have a snapshot of the VM before all the systemd file "tweaks". I was able to reproduce what you are reporting when I enabled the "Stretch mode" option in the VM's Display settings?ĭo you get the results that you expect if you disable the "Stretch mode" option? Vmtoolsd 473 root mem REG 8,1 23000 395948 /usr/lib/open-vm-tools/plugins/vmsvc/libresolutionKMS.so The vmusr libresolutionSet.so would only be loaded if the KMS plugin can not be loaded. I believe it depends on the presence of the vmwgfx kernel module. On recent versions of open-vm-tools the preference is to use the libresolutionKMS.so plugin in the vmtoolsd vmsvc daemon process for display resolution. Using the same open-vm-tools packages that you are using.
#Install vmware tools on kali linux 2018.1 windows
I have both the Autofit windows and Autofit guest selected in my WS display preferences. I have installed Kali-2019.2 and like an earlier Kali-2019s.-1a, I am having no problems resizing my WS windows and the Kali desktop is resized. I presume that you may be using one of the weekly builds. The latest official Kali Linux that I can find is Kali-2019.2.
What can be done to force "vmtoolsd -n vmusr" to load the "libresolutionSet.so" plugin and be able to properly resize the VM screen?
