 |
|
Vmware suddenly stopped working and I can't for the life of me tell why. I have been reading and trying everything but nothing works. I am pretty positive it's not a module/permissions error but I cannot find the solution.
here's a snippit from the log.
| Code: |
Mar 01 01:34:07.901: vmui| VMHSVMCbPower: Setting state of VM /vm/#42246aa468fd1ac9/ to powerOn with option hard
Mar 01 01:34:07.902: vmui| VMHS: Exec()'ing /opt/vmware/workstation/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx-debug, /home/XXXXX/vmware/WinXPPro/Windows XP Professional.vmx

Mar 01 01:34:11.512: vmui| AIOMGR-S : stat o=67 r=0 w=0 i=0 br=0 bw=0 |
and the ui errors out with this
| Code: | | Unable to change virtual machine power state: Internal error. |
what's extra annoying is this little part right here
| Code: | | Internal VMDB error: Pipe: Read failed |
is not in any search engine/vmware forums. I have completely uninstalled/reinstalled everything to no avail. Nothing has changed vmware-wise it suddenly stopped working. If I had to guess, it may be related to either the new kernel I have updated to (2.6.28-zen11) or nvidia drivers (180.35) as these are the only real changes to the system. I have updated everything since the issue started (emerge -auvDN world) and nothing helped.

| My guess was right, downgrading nvidia-drivers to 180.29 fixed the problem completely... |

Also if you get following message in a popup dialog box:
vmware workstation unable to change virtual machine power state: internal error
downgrading nvidia fixes this issue
From x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-180.35 downgraded to x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-177.82 |

Indeed it does. How goofy.

That would fine if by downgrading nvidia-drivers (195.36.24 -> 180.60) portage didn't want me to also downgrade xorg-server from 1.7 -> 1.6.
This includes mesa and libvdpau blocks also 
Anyone know how to manually reset a virtual machine's power state to "off"?
This is what I can gather from /tmp/vmware-user/ui-pid.log:

Hoping for an alternate solution to downgrading nvidia-drivers. |
