Hi, I am using VMware® Workstation 17 Pro 17.5.0 build-22583795 Host is running DISTRIB_ID=LinuxMint DISTRIB_RELEASE=20 DISTRIB_CODENAME=ulyana DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 20 Ulyana" Guest is also running DISTRIB_ID=LinuxMint DISTRIB_RELEASE=20 DISTRIB_CODENAME=ulyana DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 20 Ulyana" It so happens that when in the guest in a directory where there are for example .txt or .pdf files you alternatively click right and left cursor arrows several times, the guest completely freezes. The only way out is to restart the machine. It does not happen on the Host OS I changed keyboards, and also changes USB ports where keyboard is plugged in. I also went back several snapshots just in case it was a distribution problem It does not appear to happen on a windows guest. Please help. Thank you Edgar

Hi, I have Workstation pro running on a Linux Mint host. It works just fine, and I have two monitors. To enable a vm to be in a separate monitor altogether, I need to start a different process that runs VMWare workstation. It just so happens that using the cli command: vmware -W &.    a new process is started. However all guests are locked from the first process instance running. My question is how, from the command line or bash script, start a separate VMWare process and on such process launch a guest. Thank you, Edgar
