On VMware player as well as a workstation, one can conveniently upgrade the existing El Capitan on simulated machine available on Windows on PC. For Application developers, using OS X El Capitan on VMware offers an added advantage. One can acquire skills on Xcode and use the new features. If your virtual machine created with VMware Player becomes very slow and takes a long time to complete some operations it’s time to improve its performance! Close your VM, and open the *.vmx file with a text editor. Then add at the end of the file the following lines. ![]() I have a windows 10 host OS where I have installed vmware workstation 12 player. I have an Xubuntu as a guest OS (virtual machine). The complication is: the text is too small in guest OS and almost unreadable. The steps that I have already taken to rectify the problem are given below: • I have already installed vmware tools (which is confirmed by hovering on Manage -> Reinstall vmware tools). • I have tried to manually set the resolution in the vmware before starting the virtual machine (by manually changing it to 640 by 480 and then to other settings). • In vmware workstation 12 player, i cannot see the stretch the guest OS but I have tried to stretch the guest desktop in the guest OS. Note: I am using DELL XPS 15 with 4k UHD. Any help in this regard is highly appreciable. If I am unable to explain anything please let me know, I can provide more details. When trying to fix the Guest OS fonts sizes you can: One way: Set the installation as windows 10-64-bit and choose type as windows guest, then proceed normally.

The examples include: application launch, sudo command, etc. Any reason why this would happen? I am using VMWare Play 4.0.4, 128GB SDD, 20GB allotted to the virtual disk. So far I tried both Hardware Acceleration Enabled/Disabled. I also ran iozone test for disk IO speed, which seems to be reasonably fast. I do no think I need to align my disk space as it should be managed by my primary OS, Windows 7. Could it be that this is VMWare issue?
