Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. Can you please provide the output of the commands below:
- cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep model
- cat /sys/module/processor/parameters/max_cstate
The problem you describe is a known issue with vmware running on processors
using speedstep (or the amd equivalent) and using deeper sleep modes.
You can try to prevent using the deeper sleep modes:
$ cat /sys/module/processor/parameters/max_cstate # remember the value
you get!
$ sudo -i
# echo 2 > /sys/module/processor/parameters/max_cstate
# exit
Now you can test the clock accuracy in a vmware machine. Please let us
know if this helps.
To enable the deeper sleep modes again, use the same commands, but use
the value you got from the first command instead of 2.
** Changed in: linux-source-2.6.20 (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Incomplete
