Description Martín Cigorraga 2010-05-30 06:24:23 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.3) 
OS:                Linux

I'm runing Arch Linux x86_64 + KDE SC 4.4.3

I'm posting this issue here because I'm running KDE SC; I'm posting this too at Arch's forum, at KernelTap and at VMware forums. Since I really don't know where is the conflict I'm making sure every involved part is aware of this.

This is the bug: if I start a virtual machine in a waked-up from suspend-to-memory Arch Linux x86_64 + KDE SC 4.4.3 system, system will KRASH, freezing computer. Nothing will work: ctrl+alt+f* nor left alt+prtscrn+rseiudb, nothing, computer will completely hang.

May be this an interruption IRQ issue? Don't know, ovbiously something related to memory.

Best!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Suspend system to RAM (S3 mode). Wake up the system: use it for a moment or fire a VMware virtual machine right now and you'll completely freeze your system.

Actual Results:  
System will COMPLETELY hang.

Expected Results:  
Run smooth?

KDE applications cannot possibly make Ctrl+Alt+F* key combinations stop working, even when the X server executes a keyboard grab. Since suspending is involved, it might be a kernel problem. Is the bug reproducible on different hardware?

Hi Christoph, I'm sure it is a kernel/VMware, I tried and replicated the bug succefully on other GNU/Linux/DE/WM distributions.
Please forgive my dumbness on posting this bug to KDE and close this topic.

KDE SC rules, thanks for all your work!
