Has anyone seen this? How do  I go about debugging this issue.l

Hi,

See this: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/177321
It's for vmware player, but applies also for server and workstation.

Besides, I presume you are using vmware server 1.0.8 with vmware-server-console. If you have vmware server on another machine and the vmware-server-console on F10, edit the /etc/vmware/config on the F10.

Regards

Christof Haerens

F10, Gnome Desktop and VMware

I have VMware 1.0.8 on F10 (Intel, 32-bit) and Gnome Desktop. Starting VMware and booting a WinXP image, when left-clicking inside the VMware window to transfer the keyboard and mouse to the VM running (or ^G or grab input from the menu) resets the desktop and X server and I get a login screen.

testable things in rawhide

I felt I should highlight one of the almost complete F11 features that have recently landed in rawhide and are waiting to be tried out... Marek has pretty much completed his work on making system-config-printer use PolicyKit to control access to privileged operations: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/CupsPolicyKitIntegration To see how the policies apply, just open system-config-printer and try to make changes to your printer configuration. To change or inspect cups-related policies, go to System â Preferences â Authorizations and navigate to the org.opensuse.cupspkhelper part of the tree. (As the name indicates, this feature is a collaboration between us and some OpenSUSE guys). Please let us know if things work as expected (or if they don't...)
