Hi Alexander,

thank you for reporting this issue.

Unfortunately we can confirm this scenario on our test machine when
all packages are updated.

Just for clarification. Did you only update the java package or all
packages before the issue occured?

It seems there is an issue with the vmware-tools. However reinstalling
them does not solve it during my quick test. Deinstalling them should
resolve the "double screen".

> Is it _not_ recommend to update the xubuntu?
Generally we _don't recommend_ to update the Virtual Appliance in a
production environment if you are not an experienced linux user.

This is based on past experiences when the bundled java packages were
upgraded but the installed openthinclient software was kept at an old
version.

If you still want to upgrade please:
- Make a Backup (Snapshot) first
- Check if openthinclient version works with updatable java version.
  (you can ask here in the maillinglist or check in our wiki)

This said it should be noted that normal package upgrades should work in
most cases since that is essentiality what we are doing when a new
Virtual Appliance is released.

For now I would recommend to revert to the latest vm version which does
not have the "double screen" issue.



Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards
