We use Windows server 2003 R2 and ESXi 5.1. We use Vmware tools 9.0.5 build 1065307.
In our event logs we sometimes see this message:
Event Type: | Error | |
Event Source: | VMware Tools | |
Event Category: | None | |
Event ID: | 1000 | |
Date: | 6/16/2013 | |
Time: | 5:00:24 AM | |
User: | NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM | |
Computer: | BL-VAP0017 |
Description:
[critical] [vmsvc:Glib] file ..\..\..\glib\gmain.c: line 2849: assertion `loop != NULL' failed
We dont have any problems on the server, been googling for this problem, no results. So if anyone has an idea... let us know!
Thanks!
Hi,
Did you try to uninstall and reinstall vmware tools?
Regards,
Julien.
We have it on 100 servers. So we could reinstall vmware tools, but still it be nice to know what it is first...
Hi Dennis,
Have you seen this KB link;

Cheers,

I've seen it now.
But that is not our error message...
Thanks
did you get an answer for this - we are getting exactly the same message
not the same error - as the orginal poster has replied earlier
Try this & let me know if it is helpful
Go to C:\Documents and Users\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware Tools
Create a file tools.conf In the file put this (I only used [unity] as the other portion disables logging which I didn't want to do)
[unity]
pbrpc.enable = false
[logging]
vmusr.level = error
vmsvc.level = error
Go to C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Tools\plugins\vmusr
and rename unity.dll to unity.dll.orig or an extension of your choosing.
Reboot
Hope this is helpful for someone
