2020-06-25 01:36:20 Daniel van Vugt description Related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1825593, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1852860, but those report the issues are fixed. They also do not mention the VMware specific issues. Install Ubuntu 20.04 in VMware Player, install open-vm-tools (done automatically with Easy Install), go to settings, enable Fractional Scaling and select any non-integer value. Results: - The scaling is applied - VMware Tools (open-vm-tools) appears to break, no more seamless mouse between host and Ubuntu - After next reboot the setting is reverted to 100% ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: mutter 3.36.2-1ubuntu1~20.04.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.4.0-37.41-generic 5.4.41 Uname: Linux 5.4.0-37-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.3 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Tue Jun 23 04:30:21 2020 InstallationDate: Installed on 2020-06-22 (1 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS "Focal Fossa" - Release amd64 (20200423) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: mutter UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) Related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1825593, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1852860, but those report the issues are fixed.
