Ubuntu16 under VMware Tools

1. The ubuntu16 ISO image is downloaded by default and comes with Vmtools. Extract

TAR-XZVF vmwaretools-10.0.6-3595377.tar.gz

Enter the Unzip directory.

Execute: sudo./wmware-install.pl and then you go straight to the car.

According to the normal process, reboot should be good after reboot.

But...

After the installation of this process, it is generally not possible to solve the resolution problem. And then Google:

Mware under Ubuntu cannot be displayed in full screen

After installing Ubuntu under VMware, the default resolution is 800 * 600, which can be set to be displayed in full screen;

Setup steps:

1. Start the Ubuntu system by starting the virtual machine under VMware
2. Go to Ubuntu System interface, preferences----display the same resolution as your own computer
3. Setup Complete
4. Use Ctrl+alt+enter to switch directly in fullscreen/non-fullscreen

When I set it up, I found that I was unable to fullscreen. Think of the shortcut keys, and then Ctrl+alt+enter tried, sure enough. However, it still cannot be resized automatically. I tried to switch the background image before, but this time I can't. Accidental discovery, point view-Auto Sizing-center display client,

After that, it's OK to automatically resize the results ...

There's a plug-in in the middle,
