Re: Workstation 17.5.0: (enhanced?) keyboard driver problem

Does VMware supply vmtools for Linux? Because if not (I don't think they do) they sort of have to make sure its compatible to say its supported.

Frankly this makes me worry about the future and the brand damage to VMware isn't small here. Many of us manage hypervisor farms and just arnt posting on our corporate accounts as its not related to the actual support contract.

Same issue here, i hit Backspace too fast and suddenly my mouse wont click but moves and the keyboard is totally unresponsive. The VM itself is active and functional just zero control.

17.5 Broke my VMs and I cant roll back. This is so bad.

Debian 11 Host (up to date)

Debian 11 VM (fresh install, up to date)

High CPU from vmsyslogd

Hello,

I am a student who's looking at virtualization, but this issue is quite tiring to solve myself, maybe someone knows how to troubleshoot this?

Hosts: 2x Dell 6850

Changes to Host ESXi: Using Dell custom image of ESXI 5.5u3

Issue: On 2 separate and clean installs of 5.5u3 the CPU usage is a constant 20% and is interfering with VM performance.

Syslog.log logs in /var/log: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ieK4j9uV9v0lboYUOxRDP3IEWnHno4sBU7tfEVsnD9k

It looks like there's an issue in the logs that is explained here Syslog.log file of the Dell host reports the log spew: IpmiIfcRhFruInv‌ I have applied the fix and it has not resolved the issue.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Linked Clones are un-linking themselves?

Hello,

So, I run VMWare Workstation on a Linux External USB drive (Fedora). On that Fedora host I run VMs for school and training. Then whenever I plug that External drive into my Windows host at home and load up a linked clone it naturally complains that it cannot find its base image. When i direct it to that image it seems to take additional steps to create a ****-cl1.vmdk file. This file is 5-15gb and as the external drive as a SSD its a bit annoying. What is causing this?

Thanks for your time,

Adam
