[Kernel-packages] [Bug 225529] Re: [VMWare Workstation 6.0.3] Gnome problems after fullscreen
Dirk, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags: kernel-unable-to-test-upstream kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Summary changed: - Gnome problems after VMWare fullscreen + [VMWare Workstation 6.0.3] Gnome problems after fullscreen ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 195982 Shift key (and caps lock) stop working when using VMWare ** Package changed: ubuntu => linux (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/225529 Title: [VMWare Workstation 6.0.3] Gnome problems after fullscreen Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: This problem started after upgrading to Hardy: After switching VMware Workstation 6.0.3 into full screen mode, the shift and caps lock keys won't function anymore in the host OS (Ubuntu 8.04).

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 225529] Re: [VMWare Workstation 6.0.3] Gnome problems after fullscreen
Running VMware Workstation guests in fullscreen has been a problem on and off depending on the combination of software versions. Lately I'm running mostly VMWare Player where the problem isn't that apparent. I think we can close this particular bug since all the software versions mentioned here are outdated. Even the computer with the Matrox card that I used back then has been retired. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/225529 Title: [VMWare Workstation 6.0.3] Gnome problems after fullscreen Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: This problem started after upgrading to Hardy: After switching VMware Workstation 6.0.3 into full screen mode, the shift and caps lock keys won't function anymore in the host OS (Ubuntu 8.04).
