I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 in a VM (VMware Player 6.0.2)
After some recent updates, my desktop has suddenly become corrupt - it has become duplicated three times - I've attached a screen shot. Each 'desktop' seems to be replicated - changing one 'desktop' results in the other 'desktop' changing.
I've tried a few things along the lines of reset and re-install, but I don't really know where to go from here.
Any help much appreciated.
Edit: I've just noticed that I have exactly the same problem as here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2228472
The solution would appear to be to force the use of the vmware graphics driver, rather than the driver supplied by ubuntu, but I don't know how to do this (I've tried vmware-config-tools.pl --overwrite but this did not make any difference.
