I want to add that I am running the latest version (12.5.5 build-5234757) of VMware downloaded from the official site. I think all of this will probably be related to not having the VMware tools not being installed.

The screen resolution is also poor plus it does not take up the entire screen when I set it to full screen. This directory contains all of the shared folders that you enable. (Optional) To map a drive to the Shared Folders directory, select Map as a network drive in Windows guests. On the Options tab, select Shared Folders. The "Install VMware Tools." option under the "Virtual Machine" menu is totally greyed out. Procedure Select the virtual machine and select Virtual Machine > Virtual Machine Settings. 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.
