Public bug reported: I recently discovered that I could not update VMWare Player - the phase of the uninstall that stops the existing services would hang and eventually the whole system would require a power reset. System would also hang on shutdown under normal operation.
Uninstalling cgroup-bin & libcgroup1 fixes both these issues. I have set up cgroups on my 10.04 system as per: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/11/alternative-to-200-lines-kernel- patch.html and this seemed to be working fine until I discovered this issue recently when the 2.6.32-34 kernel was made available.
