I upgraded my VMware Ubuntu 18.04 to 18.10. After the upgrade it was working fine until I shutdown and restarted the VM, and now it won't display in full screen.
I followed by installing a fresh copy of 18.10 and at first it was working fine right after install and after reboot the same thing happened.
Any suggestions?

I ran into the same issue on a fresh install of 18.10 on VMWare 15.01. If I manually restarted open-vm-tools after I logged in, everything worked. I tried to reinstall VMWare tools, it didn't help. This did fix it:
Edit this file using your preferred editing tool
/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/open-vm-tools.service
Add these lines to the end of the "Unit" section
Requires=graphical.target
After=graphical.target
Save the file and the next time you restart you should be good to go.

Create a text file with .sh extension. For example setscreen.sh
Insert the following text and save.
xrandr --newmode "1920x1080" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode Virtual1 1920x1080
xrandr --output Virtual1 --mode 1920x1080
Run this .sh file as an executable. Screen should go to 1920x1080.
Use "startup applications" to launch the file at startup.

Just add the sudo service open-vm-tools restart as command in "Startup Applications", to make it run after system starts.
