Sometimes I don't know why VMware hangs a machine in such a way that nothing can be done.
Hard reset does not work - button is inactive.
Unable to shut down the machine via vmrun - the command has been successfully but the machine hangs on loading communicate.
Closing Vmware processes does not help either. It is the same after restarting.
Unable to change virtual machine power state: Failed to power on '/home/name/name.vmx'.
In that situation execute VMware as a administrator return error:
[sudo] password for ...:
No protocol specified
xcb_connection_has_error() returned true
No protocol specified
(vmware-modconfig:9548): Gtk-WARNING **: 07:33:49.611: cannot open display: :10.0
Only server reset helps.
What could it be?
