Hans, do you additionally experience random and complete freezes without any "cut here" in the logs, like I do? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1688643 Title: "kernel BUG" reported in dmesg with VMWare and Ubuntu 17.04 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This has happened to me several times in the last few days since I upgraded from VMWare 12.5.2 and Ubuntu 16.10 to VMWare 12.5.5 and Ubuntu 17.04. The crash has thus far always been associated with firefox and leaves an un-killable zombie firefox process that requires a reboot. 1. The ardware is virtual. (VMWare) 2. I'm not sure how to reproduce it, since it seems to happen randomly, but fairly frequently. 3. The bug didn't occur before the upgrade to VMWare 12.5.5 and Ubuntu 17.04. Please note that I had to run "ubuntu-bug linux" after rebooting because running it before rebooting just hung the process. I will attach a "cut here/end trace" section of the dmesg log separately.
