Vmware Fusion 7.0.0 locking up the mavericks 10.9.5 desktop (everything else running.. graphical environment is hosed)

Fusion 7.0 is locking up the mavericks 10.9 desktop.  I can't recover from  a ssh into my server and killing Finder.  A force quite on vmware or anything else does not work.

My macpro has a NVIDIA card.  It looks like there may be an issue with your code.. clobbering a memory  segment.

Hi mrjerrynormandin,

Thx for using Fusion.

Can you encounter the problem consistently?

And could you give more steps details which can trigger the problem?

Do you open VM or just open VMware Fusion when you encounter the problem?

Yes..a vm generating a decent load compiling applications.. I switch virtual desktop to my host OS, back to the VM,  back to the OS, check email, go back to the vm, ui freezes.  note the os isn't locked because I can ssh to my mac.

I'm having this same issue, but on a slightly different set-up.  I'm on VMWare Fusion 7 w/ OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite").  I encounter this issue with both CentOS and Ubuntu guests.  I have not tried a Windows guest.  Hardware is a Macbook Pro with integrated graphics.

I've hit this in two flavors: (1) where the guest locks up; and (2) after I've quit VMWare Fusion.  In both cases, there is a stuck vmware-vmx process that is pegging the CPU and not responding.  It ties up the UI, eventually bringing everything to a crawl.  The system is unable to shutdown and must be hard-reset.

I'm extremely disappointed in my experiences with Fusion 7.  This is, by far, the most unreliable VMWare product I've ever used.  I can't risk running a product that is going to make my entire system unstable.

I've tried reinstalling VMWare Fusion.  No change in behavior.

I highly doubt that we are the only people out there encountering this.  I'd appreciate it if VMWare would be transparent with bugs like this and give a timeline for when a fix will be available.

Hi techjd, and welcome to the VMware Communities!

Your problem sounds like a different one...

If you are using a mid-2011 iMac, there is a known issue affecting Yosemite on those machines which happens to cause VMware Fusion to behave exactly as you describe.

If you do have a mid-2011 iMac, try launching Terminal, and running the following command:

   sudo nvram boot-args=debug=0x10

Then exit out of Terminal, then restart your Mac.  VMware Fusion should then perform correctly.

Let us know how it goes!  (Sorry, mrjerrynormandin, but this is almost certainly unrelated to your particular problem.)

Ah, just saw that you mentioned it's a MacBook Pro, not an iMac.  Sorry.  (That'll teach me for posting tired.)

Not a macbpok pro.  A Mac pro

Right -- you and I are having similar problems with VMWare Fusion 7, but I'm using a Macbook Pro, and you're using a Mac Pro.  The other difference is that you're using OS X 10.9 Mavericks, and I'm running OS X 10.10 Yosemite. 

That suggests to me this is more than a hardware or operating system issue, and is instead just some buggy code in VMWare Fusion 7.
