I have recently been having this problem whenever I try to open a browser in my Win XP guest. I reverted to a snapshot from August, when things were working fine, and still have the problem, so I suspect it is related to recent updates to VMWare Workstation or Kubuntu, or both. When the lockups happens, the mousepointer will move, but neither clicks nor keystrokes have any effect and the display stops updating other than the mousepointer. I have to hard-cycle the system to unlock it.
When the lockups happens I can neither ping nor ssh to the system from outside it. I am using VMWare Workstation 5.5.5 on Kubuntu 7.10: Linux sophia 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Dec 18 05:28:27 UTC 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux xorg.conf is dated may 3 2007, well before the problems started. I am currently using the fglrx ATI driver. I switched drivers at one time in the past because of vmware lockups. I will try switching drivers again. Please let me know if you need more information. -- X freezes running vmware (server and workstation) when using network https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117219 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
