I'm using VMware workstation 8 on windows 7 and having some Linux hosts such as Centos, Backtrack and ... on it.
The problem is the screen of the virtual machines is not fixed with my screen.
here is the picture from my screen: https://s15.postimg.cc/7carokj4r/Capture.png
Change the resolution of your operating system running in VMware and hope it will stretch the screen when chosen the correct values
Go to view and press "Switch to scale mode" which will adjust the virtual screen when you adjust the application.
It sounds to me as if you actually mean "linux guests" and not "linux hosts".
But in any case, I suspect you did not install the VMWare Tools: doubleclick on that icon on the Desktop that can be seen on your screenshot. It will install some drivers that communicate with VMWare that, among other things, allow to adjust the screen resolution dynamically.
When the installation process is finished, you'll most likely have to reboot the VM.
From you main machine, start -> search -> "remote desktop connection" -> click on "remote desktop connection" -> Click "Options" Beside to "Connect Button" -> Display Tab - > Then increase Display Configuriton Size. If this will not work, try the same thing by closing remote desktop. But this will give you solution.

My Kali machine is a t2.micro and is responsive when i ssh into it and am able to open it on VNC viewer and is responsive and all, until i open firefox and it becomes practically unresponsive/frozen, and doesnt take any input until many minutes afterwards. Ive seen answers to where i need to update firefox but it is so unresponsive, it is practically impossible. is there a way to fix it or update it through the command line when ssh-ing into it? any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
I just want to browse to hackthebox.com for a school assignment, and it wont even allow me to click anything after the web browser opens, it freezes up.
This is probably a resource issue as t2.micro only has 1gb of ram and firefox can hog cpu / memory resources.
I'd try a more robust ec2 instance or you can run through these troubleshooting steps firefox has.

I have Manjaro Linux on my laptop with KDE desktop. In desktop environments you can have multiple desktops. I want to turn one of these desktops into a permanent terminal. A complete full-screen terminal like the one you get when you don't have a desktop environment installed. Is there anyway to turn one of my workspaces in KDE into a permanent terminal ??
Did you try using a plasmoid? It's not complete full screen but it's as near as it gets.
For example this or this.
Also, have you tried Yakuake? It's not located on the desktop, but invoked by a key press (usually F12) or by the mouse reaching the top border if you want. It's the first program I install on any KDE setup, it's vital to my workflow.

Whenever I press Super+L (or Win+L) on my Ubuntu 14.04 Desktop, the screen gets locked. I would like to disable this behaviour. In System Settings->Keyboard->Shortcuts->System there is a shortcut configured for Lock screen: Ctrl+Alt+L. It works. But I couldn't find where the shortcut for Super+L is configured.
Background: I run Ubuntu in a virtual machine on Windows and use Super+L to lock the Windows desktop, making it superfluous to lock the Ubuntu Desktop. Once I unlock the screen I have to type my password twice: Once for Windows and again for Ubuntu.
Unity also has a shortcut to lock the screen, so you need to disable that one too.
Install and run CompizConfig Settings Manager
Click "Ubuntu Unity Plugin"
Click the button next to "Key to lock the screen."
Disable
While this is an old question, it still comes up as the top result for searches like "ubuntu disable win+L locking". For future reference, this answer covers a method without CompizConfig Settings Manager.
https://askubuntu.com/questions/531835/how-do-i-disable-lock-screen-keyboard-shortcut-under-unity
In short:
Run gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen true to disable the lock screen.
However, this will still turn your screen black for a few seconds. This is still especially useful if you are running Ubuntu in a VM, and don't want it to lock when you lock your outer system.
I searched for search lock in the search bar (Ctrl+Space) and found screen locking window. That did the trick.

I have a Vbox server running Centos 6.5 32bit, and I have it set as a dev server for some web apps I'm working on.
Guest Additions was working fine until there were some updates in the CentOS system. Upon reboot, guest additions does not work. The disc shows on the desktop, and I choose auto run when it comes up, but all it does is have a window popup and disappear very clickly (within the blink of an eye), and thats it. No error messages.
When I choose "Install Guest Additions CD Image" from the VBox tool bar I get the following image:
Where might I find a solution to this problem. I will be glad to find whatever info needed in the system, but not sure where to go. I have tried a couple of possible solutions from web searches, but so far I've had no success
this resolved it. manual install

File: \windows\system32\boot\winload.exe
Status: 0xc000035a
Info: Attempting to load a 64-bit application, however this CPU is not compatible with 64-bit mode.
I get this error when i try to install Windows server 2008 x64 via VirtualBox.
I have All Virtual settings enabled in BIOS and my CPU is an Cor i5 vPro, the host system is Windows 7 x64.
Youtube Screen casting of the error
I had the same issue and found a solution.
Open up bios and make sure vt-x is enabled
If it wasnt, you'll need to delete the VM in virtual box and make a new one.. Now you will see an option for windows 7 and windows 7 (64bit).
It was only AFTER i delete and rebuilt the VM did it allow me through. Changing the settings in the existing VM didnt seem to do the trick.
