I can confirm that using X11 as you suggested instead of Wayland is a viable workaround and that both multi-monitor support and resolution re- scaling work when moving VMWare Workstation around. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1712223 Title: performing dist-upgrade results in open-vm-tools no longer working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1712223/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for your report. >From the bug report your'e using a wayland session, could you try with x11 (with the system fully up to date, select a user on the greeter, click on a cog and select 'ubuntu on xorg') and tell us if it fails too.

additional information about when one doesn't hold the package back (note the error from VMWare Workstation 12.5). Same thing happens even if the open-vm-tools and open-vm-tools-desktop are held at 10.1.5. ** Attachment added: "OS updates breaks open-vm-tools-desktop.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1712223/+attachment/4936705/+files/OS%20updates%20breaks%20open-vm-tools-desktop.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1712223 Title: performing dist-upgrade results in open-vm-tools no longer working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1712223/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
