Norbert, your issue might be different. Could you please file a new report with backtrace so that I can confirm if it is same or different? Thanks!

Similar problem has been detected:

Downloaded a .docx file and set it to open automatically once download is completed
Switched to Totem player on another desktop and kept watching a video
After a while the LibreOffice splash screen appeared
Video playback stopped, mouse and keyboard frozen
The machine was somehow still doing something and audio of the video file continued
I pressed space to pause and after about a minute it actually did pause. Mouse pointer was not actually frozen, but had a delay of one minute until it reacted to input. Same with keyboard.
As the machine did not recover from that state I had to press the reset button to reboot.

Assigning to Kevin who is looking at it.

Comment 36 Kevin Kong 2017-08-29 03:06:11 UTC
The problem is that when we try to get the name of the specified window using XFetchName(), the window returned by XQueryTree() is a bad window. So, _XError() calls gdk_x_error() to log "BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)" with log_domain="Gdk" and log_level=G_LOG_LEVEL_ERROR. Then it goes to the log handler of VMTools.
In VMToolsLog(), g_strdup() failed to allocate memory. Then VMToolsLogPanic() aborts the process and generates the stack trace we have.

I think it is due to system being low on resources. If we cannot alloc memory, any error can occur.

I want to know the memory size of the VM to see if it is too small to run.

Comment 37 Oleg Drokin 2017-08-29 03:11:36 UTC
Note that I had this exact crash (bz1477407, at least marked as a duplicate) and it crashes on my host node (no idea why it was run there), 48G of RAM.

Comment 38 Erik Lentz 2017-09-05 01:38:21 UTC
This crash occurred in my host, rather than my VM, as well. Host had 8GB of RAM, VM was allocated 512MB.

Comment 42 Fedora End Of Life 2017-11-16 15:07:21 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '25'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 46 Fedora End Of Life 2017-12-12 10:58:31 UTC
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 51 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-03 08:27:46 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '26'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 52 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-29 11:49:45 UTC
Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26
is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any
further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
