[Bug 1825842] Re: [vmware] Background goes white when using scaling (200%, 300% or 400%)

2019-11-19 Thread John Mason
Since Ubuntu 19.04, I can not use Ubuntu on my VMware virtual machines on my MacBook Pro Retina (200% scaling). The desktop is white. This still occurs under Ubuntu 19.10 (even with a clean install). I hope this problem will be resolved quickly. I want to migrate to a newer version than my

Glad to hear this is working for everyone else! Personally I can't think of a time that my system has locked hard and this watchdog would have actually come in handy, most times I'd have hit the reset button myself before waiting one minute for it to kick in. I guess it would be useful for a

Oh, is there a BIOS setting for the watchdog? I don't remember seeing one. In my case (Archlinux) this module comes with the kernel: --- pacman -Qo ./modules/3.0-ARCH/kernel/drivers/watchdog/nv_tco.ko.gz ./modules/3.0-ARCH/kernel/drivers/watchdog/nv_tco.ko.gz is owned by linux 3.0.1-1 --- I

@Alex Okay, yes I agree that the watchdog/timer should be reset on reboot; it seems silly that it would remain enabled after the BIOS initializes. A config option would be fine for clean reboots, but it persists even after a hardware reset once it's been set up, so I think the best option

I've found the cause of this. I looked at my loaded modules for anything nvidia-specific and the first hit was nv_tco. Looked at the source for this module (http://lxr.free- electrons.com/source/drivers/watchdog/nv_tco.c) and it seems to handle some hardware watchdog timer for Nvidia chipsets

I have the same problem with the same board, but I run ArchLinux. Since it seems to also affect Ubuntu and Fedora (http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=1502068#post1502068), I suspect a kernel or module issue. I've thought I've had a funny hardware issue for months and tried different
