The only option I have to recover is to logout and log back in. When it bombs out, I get the "Oh no, somthing happened!" screen and there really aren't any other options.
I do wish it was more graceful in that recovery.
Thanks for the more detailed description. I definitely can't afford to toy with behavior like that outside a test VM or spare box right now.
It seems to come and go - I think it might be related to odd suspend/ resume behaviour on my laptop (sometimes after a resume, I can't do anything - but it's inconsistent at best) or when updates come down.
I hadn't considered just running the VM automatically, though. The laptop certainly has the horsepower to do that.
It adds a small but noticeable delay to my shutdowns and time-to-desktop here (2 GHz dual core) but it's pretty negligible.
Do you save the current state in the VMs or shut them down completely? (I've taken to just saving the current state as that's quicker in most instances).
One of the things I use the WinXP VM for is watching Netflix streaming, though, and I'm not sure that would work well with an RDP solution. But running Framemaker? Yeah, that'd work. :)
That would be an interesting experiment. Too bad my VMs are 'headless' by design or I'd try it.
It works fairly well. The laptop in question outputs HDMI at 1080p (or 1080i, I haven't noticed which my HK says its using) and will do audio over HDMI as well, and it seems to do the 5.1 that's advertised. I can run Netflix full screen and the performance is very good. The system is an 8-core i7 laptop, but even running with the powersave power management profile the performance is good.
Thanks again for humoring my curiosity ;-)
