Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: x11vnc
I have 2 64 bit Ubuntu Maverick desktops that have VMWare Workstation
7.1.3 installed. Because these are corporate machine, we also run the
x11vnc package (as opposed to the Ubuntu native VNC) so that we can
connect to our Ubuntu linux desktops even if no one is in front of them
or if they are sitting at the gdm sign on.
The problem is that as of Maverick Meerkat, this combination of software
crashes gdm when a virtual machine is started. If x11vnc is disabled,
then a VM can be started with no problem.
I can start a virtual machine and then gdm crashes back to the login
screen. Both programs work with no problems separately.
