resize screen on Arch Linux in Plasma on Wayland protocol failed. #493

This looks to be a known bug. There's also discussion in #491, which is the same root problem and has the workaround the graphics team recommends until the fix is out. "this is our bug. It’s affecting systems which are running wayland (which is the default on e.g. current Fedora). The check for Xorg driver version fails when running on top of Wayland. Like the user mentioned below the workaround is to "cp /etc/vmware-tools/tools.conf.example /etc/vmware-tools/tools.conf” and uncomment the “#enable=true” line inside the “[resolutionKMS]” section." Also see #491, which is the same root problem. |

Yes, my problem is very similar to that in #491. But unfortunately, after enabling resolutionKMS option, there is not any improvement in my vm. |

Sounds like we need some logs to narrow this down. Can you please uncomment the 'vmsvc.level = debug' line in the [logging] section of /etc/vmware/tools.conf, and reboot the guest so we can be sure everything reads the new settings? The you can try to repro, and get us the contents of /var/log/vmware-vmsvc*log |
|
Here is the content of file |

That log is missing lots of noise that should normally exist. Can we get the vmware.log from the VM covering reboot as well? Fresh copies of both files would be best so we can compare timestamps. |
|
Here is the content of file And here is the content of file As the timezone of the place where I am working is UTC+8:00, the timestamp in the virtual machine is earlier than which in Windows by about 8 hours. |

Did you uncomment the '#vmsvc.level = debug' or the '#vmtoolsd.level = debug' line in tools.conf? The log noise suggests you uncommented the vmtoolsd line, and we need vmsvc. Can you get us a screenshot of the workstation UI after switching to fullscreen? We want to be sure a resolution change is happening in a supported way, and that you're using the Workstation UI directly, not inside vnc or something else which won't catch the changes. |
|
Oh, sorry, it is my mistake. I will fix it immediately. And this is the screenshot in fullscreen mode. |

Our graphics team did some more experiments, and this looks to be a bug in KDE plasma, which doesn't seem to ready yet. Some details:
|
|
OK, thanks for your kindness help. I think I should send a feedback to KDE team and close this issue. |
|
For the record, https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=407058 seems to be tracking something that matches the behaviour described here. For me, the current state of the world results in an unsatisfactory experience with Plasma on Wayland inside VMware Workstation. |

Everything is installed and enabled correctly, include open-vm-tools, X, Wayland, Plasma and so on. If I running Plasma on X server, everything is working. Only using Wayland has this problem. I can change resolution manually in KDE setting, but open-vm-tools can't change it automatically, nor there is my screen's resolution in KDE's list.
