Dominique,
If you are not taking care of VMware, please reassign as appropriate.
I'm taking care of open-vm-tools (together with Mike)...
but not even having a crash dump or anything makes it close to impossible to guess what crashes and why.
Eduardo: can you please provide a coredump / backtrace? coredumpctl is hopefully logging something for you.
Dominique: you can easily reproduce the situation by performing the following actions:
- Create a Tumbleweed VM on VMware ESXi - Open a console window on VMware client - Logging into the VM using Plasma 5 GUI - Change the resolution of the VM display (Applications Menu/Settings/Configure Desktop/Display and Monitor)
Eduardo,
I have VMware ESXi system, version 6.0.0 build 3380124, that I'm using to try and reproduce this crash. I'm unable to reproduce the issue as documented.
I created a new guest and did a network install of openSUSE tumbleweed (20160404). the default desktop resolution was 1024x768 and I've successfully switched it to 1280x800 and 1440x900 without a crash.
Please update to the latest tumbleweed snapshot and then provide a coredump / backtrace as requested by Dominique. You might also want to play around with the amount of video memory you have configured for the video card.
Guest Configuration: - VM Version 11 - 4 GB Memory - 2 CPUs - 16 MB Video Memory - 20 GB Thick provisioned HDD
Regards, Ken
My virtualized environment is built on top of VMware ESXi 6.0.0 build 3568940 and the Guest Configuration is: - VM Version 11 - 4 GB Memory - 2 CPUs - 20 GB Thin provisioned HDD - 4 MB Video Memory which should be enough for a resolution of 1024x768 as per VMware Video Memory Calculator I have performed some additional tests and I may have found the cause of the issue. I created a new guest and did a network install of openSUSE Tumbleweed (20160404). The default desktop resolution was 800x600 and the first time I tried to switch it to 1024x768 the display resolution got automatically reset to 800x600. After rebooting the VM, every time I tried to change the resolution to 1024x768 the session got locked though without a black screen. All this hinted a non-suficient video memory so I changed the VM video memory to 5MB and the issue disappeared. Taking into account that the issue is not present at all on a similar guest running Leap, it seems like if the memory requirements for changing the display resolution have changed a bit. Hope this will be helpful to solve the issue and make the display resolution changes to work as in Leap. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
