I want to add that I am running the latest version (12.5.5 build-5234757) of VMware downloaded from the official site.

It’s a great way to experience Ubuntu regardless of your current operating system. VirtualBox is a general purpose virtualiser that is available across Linux, Mac OS and Windows.

I think all of this will probably be related to not having the VMware tools not being installed. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through one of the easiest ways to try out Ubuntu Desktop on a virtual machine. The screen resolution is also poor plus it does not take up the entire screen when I set it to full screen. The "Install VMware Tools." option under the "Virtual Machine" menu is totally greyed out. I used VMware vCenter Convertor to move all my files and the OS into vmx format so that I can open it from VMware player under Ubuntu.īut once I run the virtual machine under Ubuntu I find that the keyboard input is not recognised and I am not able to install/update the VMware Tools as most of the sites on the internet suggest. I am trying to migrate my Windows 10 machine into a virtual machine which I can run under Ubuntu 16.04 which is my preferred OS.
