I'm using Mate, KDE, and LXDE on various systems for now. I'm guessing I'll have to wait for a driver patch for vmtools/open-vm-tools or an update to Cinnamon, but maybe this info will help. Software rendering mode doesn't show the bleed-thru of background also, as stated above. Other VM ubuntu based distros allow regular Cinnamon login, but have the same behavior as shown above (really visible with the solitaire game). No idea why I get that behavior instead of the above mentioned behavior on Arch. and it immediately goes to 'software rendering mode' for Arch on Cinnamon login. I downloaded of Arch, updated everything to latest available, installed cinnamon, installed open-vm-tools version 10. All the others installed 9.x I read there was a module or two that is now merged with the kernel, so older vmware tools don't compile a module correctly anymore. None of the distros I tried had open-vm-tools 10 in their repos except Arch. Tried to re-install vmware tools, got messages to use open-vm-tools instead, and that open-vm-tools version 10 was needed for kernels above 4.0. My guess was the new kernel and the old vmware tools don't play well together. Hard to say what happened as Cubuntu 15.4 with Cinnamon 2.8 was fine with linux kernel 3.9. (also have Arch from updated, then cinnamon and open-vm-tools 10 installed)
#Linux mint vmware image install
Ubuntu 15.10 with Cinnamon 2.6 installed,Īnd a fresh install of Cubuntu 15.10 international with Cinnamon 2.8.
GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.Ĭubuntu 15.10 with Cinnamon 2.8 (upgraded from Cubuntu 15.4 English) To install Arch Linux, you must have an 圆486-compatible PC with at least 512MB of RAM and 800 MB of disk space available (Dario Giova, n.d.). Seems to be specifically a Cinnamon/Kernel/vmware graphics driver issue.Ī list of these requirements can be found at the VMware Docs site. Arch kicks me straight to software rendering mode. I have the same issue on multiple virtual machines on VMWare Workstation 12 with Windows 8.1 host, but oddly NOT on Arch.
