** 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
