I love having a Linux VM kicking around, just in case I need it for something. It’s great for messing around in – and being a developer that dabbles in reverse engineering, Linux is far superior to Windows for the majority of the kind of stuff I do at home.
However, after putting a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 VM on one of my machines, I couldn’t seem to get the login screen, referred to as the “greeter”, to use the same resolution as when I was logged in. So of course, I scoured the internet in search of a cure.
