[Bug 1338993] Re: Full Screen Mode does not work with open-vm-tools and Kubuntu 14.10

[Marco Parillo]

** Description changed:

  I normally use the VMware Player "Easy Install" for Kubuntu (and other
  flavors), but for some reason it seems to hang on Kubuntu 14.10 Alpha 1.
  So I tried the install later and then installing VMware Tools manually
  (the way I have to for NetRunner), and that seemed to hang also. But on
- Fedora, there is an open-vm-tools package, which I had never heard of
- before, so I tried it in Kubuntu 14.10. It seemed to install smoothly,
- but the full screen mode does not work (that is my display stays small).
- Should this work (in other words, is it a bug), or am I missing the
- point of this package on Ubuntu.
+ Fedora, there is an open-vm-tools RPM package, which I had never heard
+ of before, so I tried it in Kubuntu 14.10 (sudo apt-get update then sudo
+ apt-get install open-vm-tools). It seemed to install smoothly, but the
+ full screen mode does not work (that is my display stays small). Should
+ this work (in other words, is it a bug), or am I missing the point of
+ this package on Ubuntu.
