Hi All
I have not seen this listed yet so i thought i would see if anyone else has experienced this issu
I run openSUSE on my office machine. ever since, approximately Vmware Workstation 10 came out, i have had crazy speed issues with my guest machines, also some slow repsonse times on my openSUSE host environment.
I have narrowed it down to the following scenario:
If i have Google Chrome running on the openSUSE host and
the virtual guest is running hardware version greater than "8"
then both the host becomes a little unresponsive and the virtual machine becomes extremely unresponsive. it is at its worst when i click the focus in and out of the virtual environment.
I can correct this issue by either:
closing all sessions of Google Chrome on the host or
shutting down the virtual machine.
Alternatively, if i modify the VMX file and change the hardware version to "8", the problem is removed completely.
The current specs of my machine are:
Dell Precision T3600
6 Core Intel Xeon E5-1650
32GB RAM
2TB Samsung SSD
So the physical machine is nowhere near being fully utilised.
This has continued to be an issue since openSUSE 12.x, 13.x and now on 42.1
It has happened since i think VMware Workstation 9, 10, 11 and now 12.
Any thoughts?
Regards,
Leon Hewitt
