System: Apple Macbook 12” (2017)
OS: macOS Mojave 10.14.6
VM software: VMware Fusion 11.5.1

Doing some Kubuntu testing, test case #1: Kubuntu 19.10 - “Try Kubuntu” (live
disk)

It is in 800x600 and the resolution can’t be changed via System Settings (it
snaps back to 800x600 after a second as previously described). 

Fixed by: sudo apt install open-vm-tools

which sets the VM to a usable 1280x800 resolution. However, the bug still
exists as the resolution still can’t be changed by System Settings: it will now
snap back to 1280x800 if you try to change it.

-----

Test case #2: Kubuntu 19.10 - “Install Kubuntu”

The installer starts in 800x600 which makes selections difficult, but as soon
as installer gets past the “Updates and Other Software" screen and Kubuntu's
under-the-covers open-vm-tools kick in the screen becomes a usable resolution
and this is “permanent” as the installed VM stays at this resolution even
through reboots.

I can even enable “Use full resolution for Retina display” in VMware Fusion and
get a 2560x1600 resolution in the VM. I then set the scaling in System Settings
to 2 for a beautiful, usable HiDPI VM.

Still, the 2560x1600 can’t be altered via system settings, but since this is an
optimal resolution I don’t really want to change it!
