What happens if you run VMWare with LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5? I don't know the command to start VMWare, but this is an example: (Running a program with NPTL) #foo (Running a program with old threading model) #LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 foo *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 82551 *** [ml@gateway ml]$ LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 vmware
XIO: fatal IO error 0 (Success) on X server ":0.0"
after 3113 requests (3112 known processed) with 8 events remaining.
:-(
VMware Inc. does not support Red Hat Linux 8.0, nor Red Hat Linux beta releases. Red Hat also does not support Red Hat Linux systems which are running VMware, nor installation into a VMware virtual machine. While it is unsupported by us, we do hope that it work, however we are unable to provide technical support or bug tracking facilities for 3rd party software. You might find one of VMware's technical forums to be more appropriate for this matter perhaps. http://www.vmware.com Hope this helps. from news://news.vmware.com/vmware.for-linux.experimental Thread: rawhide glibc makes vmware crash -- Ideas? > > latest glibc which works is 2.3.1-16. 2.3.1-30 is broken, and problem > > comes from the NPTL library - so maybe it is not that trivial to fix :-( > > Not sure where you are getting this information from.

I tried it... Problem is that both VMware and glibc provide errno variable. In the past (before NPTL) errno was just weak symbol, and so everyone used errno from VMware. But NPTL change, except other, also changed errno to be normal strong symbol - and so there are two errnos in the program, and some code uses one errno, and some code another... ---- cut ---- ml: so I think that ins't a X Problem so closing this bug. Thx. |
