same here. XFCE's the culprit. XFCE has weird bug with returning from sleep (suspend) and it breaks the nvidia driver. i have a resolution issue after screen is locked (drops to 800x600). So apparently it also applies to automatic lock screen. When I log back in the resolution changeds back to normal and this is where VMware fails.
a lot about it on google. https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/solved-resume-from-suspend-not-working-with-980-ti-drivers-352-370-kernels-3-16-4-4/41631 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1855188 Title: Switching user while using VMware Workstation Player with vmware additions crashes guest To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-435/+bug/1855188/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
