+ | |||
+ | Best practice is to clone a VM before upgrading so you have a clean starting point. | ||

+ | Solution: | ||
+ | |||
+ | # yum remove vlc | ||
+ | |||
+ | Then [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | Update hostname to centos7.7 | ||
+ | |||
+ | Then, test VM upgrade from CentOS 7.6 to 7.7 worked OK and got full-screen graphics with Guest Additions v 6.0.10. 2 other VMs upgraded OK, but Guest Additions v6.0.12 will not install properly. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Problems: | ||
+ | * Windows TAT is not accessible graphically - even booting into old kernel gives non-usable graphical screen | ||
+ | * May need to remove Guest Additions entirely | ||
+ | * work VM needs to boot into older kernel to get graphics to display | ||
+ | * Need to determine how to find currently-installed version of Guest Additions | ||
