Hello,

are you using a Desktop VM or still server?
I upgraded to unstable and can still reproduce it if I resized the vmware window atleast once. After a while (some minutes) VMware seems to kill the running virtual machine, so i had to run a loop to regulary "sync" the file out to the HDD.


Regards, Norbert

I'm moving this discussion to the mentioned bug as U think its the same issue. Various reports on other distributions' bugtrackers show, that the vmtoolsd instance which is started during login of the user is the troublemaker as it
doesn't react on SIGTERM signals.
Unfortunately I failed to reproduce it here, here it just quits perfectly fine. It might have been an issue from libglib, which was fixed in the meantime... If you can still reproduce it with an updated system form unstable, please do
the following:
- install ltrace
- find the pid fo the vmtoolsd user process, something like
     ps -Af | grep vmtoolsd
  should help.
- on a console login as root and run
    ltrace -p $PID > /tmp/vmtoolsd_ltrace.txt
  with $PID being replaced by the PID you figured out first.
- switch back into X and logout. wait for it, don't kill stuff or so please. - mail /tmp/vmtoolsd_ltrace.txt to this bug or (especially if you think there a private informations in the file, which I doubt but you might want to check it)
just mail it to me directly.
Thanks,
Bernd
