[Bug 763075] New: After update of open-vm-tools, external hibernation in vmplayer fails
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=763075 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=763075#c0 Summary: After update of open-vm-tools, external hibernation in vmplayer fails Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Final Platform: VMWare OS/Version: openSUSE 12.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: carlos.e.r@opensuse.org QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- After the update in oS 12.1 of open-vm-tools-gui-8.8.1-2.4.4 and open-vm-tools-8.8.1-2.4.4, external hibernation in vmplayer fails the first time. There are two types of hibernation in vmware player. One is the guest system hibernation, if you do "pm-hibernate". The other is external, done by the virtualization software, clicking the close box in the window. When that is done, this message pops up: Error box: “The request to Suspend this virtual machine failed because the corresponding VMware Tools script did not run successfully. If you have configured a custom suspend script in this virtual machine, make sure that it contains no errors. Attempting the operation again will ignore the script failure. You can also submit a support request to report this issue.” Indeed, closing it and attempting a second time succeeds. There are no entries in /var/log/messages or /var/log/pm-suspend.log. There might be messages in the host, vmware-0.log, but i don't know how to interpret them. It might be argued that this is a vmware problem, unrelated to openSUSE. But it happened after a mandatory openSUSE update. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Hmm no, suspend via the power menu should be the same as suspend via the close box. So its really strange that it works. Also do you mean hibernate or suspend?
Hibernate. I don't know if the message still occurs, it is a year later. AFAIK, using vmplayer menu option "hibernate" works now. I'd have to check. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
