** Description changed: - When suspending from inside the virtual machine (not from vmware - player/fusion/workstation) I get a crash in dmesg and the display - doesn't come back. + [Impact] + Low to medium, when using the virtual machines I believe it would be more common to suspend the VM from the host instead of leaving the machine running in S3, but it is 100% reproducible and requires a hard power off to fix if an S3 is triggered from inside the VM so loss of data can occur. + + [Development Fix] + Installing a modprobe.d conf file containing "options vmwgfx enable_fbdev=1" + + [Stable Fix] + Backport the above fix to 12.04 + + [Test Case] + 1) Install the VMware Player, Fusion, or Workstation products + 2) Install Ubuntu 12.04 in a new virtual machine + 3) Suspend from inside of the virtual machine, not from the host. + + If the display recovers normally on mouse movement it is fixed. If it + goes black and never recovers without a hard power off it is broken. + + [Regression Potential] + Low, this fix only adds a modprobe.d conf file enabling the enable_fbdev module option by default. It only affects VMware platforms and has been QAed by them to be sure its the proper fix. xserver-xorg-video-vmware is also used for KVM, but the vmwgfx KMS driver in the kernel is not so the option will have no effect. + + + Original Report: + When suspending from inside the virtual machine (not from vmware player/fusion/workstation) I get a crash in dmesg and the display doesn't come back. + ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: xserver-xorg-video-vmware 1:12.0.1-1ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-23.36-generic 3.2.14 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-23-generic x86_64 .tmp.unity.support.test.0: - + ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: [core,composite,opengl,compiztoolbox,decor,vpswitch,snap,mousepoll,resize,place,move,wall,grid,regex,imgpng,session,gnomecompat,animation,fade,unitymtgrabhandles,workarounds,scale,expo,ezoom,unityshell] CompositorRunning: compiz Date: Fri May 4 18:55:09 2012 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: precise DistroVariant: ubuntu GraphicsCard: - VMware SVGA II Adapter [15ad:0405] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) - Subsystem: VMware SVGA II Adapter [15ad:0405] + VMware SVGA II Adapter [15ad:0405] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) + Subsystem: VMware SVGA II Adapter [15ad:0405] InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120425) Lsusb: - Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub - Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub - Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0e0f:0003 VMware, Inc.
