Both virtual machine and host were unusable, they both locked.
What virtualization system is this ? looks like a bug in a kernel module .. it goes without saying a guest should not lockup the host..
Vmware player, installed from VMware-Player-5.0.2-1031769.x86_64.bundle. There is a more recent version. The entire desktop, including the guest system window, froze. Clicks inside or outside were ignored. The gkrellm applet inside the guest froze at 100% cpu. I could not see the host applet, it was on another desktop. There was a popup error from the virtual machine, something about an out of bounds widget or something. I should have taken a photo with a camera. There was no new xfce desktop display started, it did not show. I think the crash happened when I tried ctrl-alt-f8 on the guest. I had started "startxfce4" from an ssh session from host to guest, as root (instead of doing ctrl-alt-f1 on it) I ssh-ed from my laptop. CPU usage was nil. I just killed the ssh session from host to guest, and things restored to normal. I can try it again later, now I have to do other chores :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
