VMware Fusion 11.0.2 on MacBook Air 2018 Not Responding
Product: VMware Fusion 11.0.1 11.0.2
Hardware: MacBook Air 2018, 16GB Memory, 512GB Storage
OS: 10.14.1
Guest: Ubuntu Linux Desktop 18.10 64-bit, 4GB Memory, 40GB storage, 1 processor core
I am finding that VMWare Fusion freezes periodically throughout the day, about every couple hours for one, maybe two minutes. At this time the guest freezes with the spinning mouse, and Activity Monitor reports the application is not responding.
I changed the number of processor cores from 2 to 1 with no change.
The host OS seems fine at these times. It is occurring even at times when I am not pushing the host or guest very hard. Any idea what might be causing these freezes?

Re: VMware Fusion 11.0.2 on MacBook Air 2018 Not Responding
I am not yet 100% certain, but I think that disabling "Enable 3D Acceleration" solved my issue performance. I don't think I specifically turned it on, it was on by default when I created the guest.
I recall having performance issues with this option in VMware Workstation Professional for Windows as well.
Best,
Greg

Bug with Cortana and Narrator Audio output (Win10-1809-VMWareFusion10.1.5)
Hi There,
I just found a solution for an audio bug.
Cortana was speaking, but no noise, impossible to hear. Same with Narrator.
I was able to hear a music or sound from vidéo, local and web hosted, system alert was audible, but this two services (Cortana and Narrator) wasn't producing any noise, even if the visual level indicator was showing activity.
First I have set the Audio output to "Mono" and it has solved the problem.
Settings / Ease of use / Hearing / Audio / Turn on mono audio : "On"
After more investigation I have found the real reason (not sure), I have set :
Settings / System / Sound / Sound control panel / Speakers / Configure / Audio channels : "Stéréo"
I think second solution is the more apropriate.

Re: slow VM restore of saved state
I'm having the same problem with Fusion 11.0.2 on Mojave. I'm using an iMac with 32GB RAM, with around 14GB given to a Windows 10 VM (which has been running, saving and restoring fine until very recently). I don't use FileVault on this iMac. And none of my VMs have snapshots.
When I restored the Win10 VM today it took 13 minutes.
I created a sparsebundle disk image (formatted Mac OS Extended (journaled)) and moved the VM to that. There was an improvement, but a restore still took around 6 minutes.
I also have an Ubuntu VM that showed the same problem. Shutting it down and then rebooting seems to have solved the problem for now. But doing the same with the Windows 10 VM (and I have tried several times) had no effect.

Hi crsackett ,
Could you describe which keys are your trying to map? Does the mapping work in Fusion 8?

It would be helpful if you can provide the vmware.log from your vm bundle. Does the lag occur as well when you use other Office components like Excel or Word?

Mac doesn't recognize hdmi display through thunderbolt when running Fusion
Hi all,
For months I've been trying to troubleshoot this and am getting really close now.
I run a Mac late 2011 with High Sierra. I have VMWare Version 7.1.3 (3204469) running Window 7 (I turned off auto updates and haven't updated in years).
With a fresh reboot and not running Fusion, I plug in my external display to my thunderbolt port and the display works fine. I start fusion and windows, everything is good. As soon as I unplug the display and plug it back in again, it won't get recognized. I also have some odd graphics being displayed - see screenshot: Dropbox - Screenshot 2018-11-26 19.34.57.png
This is a fairly new problem, possibly since the last OSX upgrade, but can't nail it down. Any ideas on how to get the display working properly?
Thanks, Derek

Re: Upgrading from Fusion 8.5 to 11 / Skype for Business deactivates graphics HW acceleration
Hi RickShu,
Please find in enclosure the log.
No the lag does not occur with Outlook, Word or Excel, except if Skype for Business is running.
For example, Outlook is running, no lag, I start Skype for Business, lag in both applications, I quit Skype for Business, no lag.
It's easy to check because Outlook somewhat highlight each mail when the mouse passes over it, with Skype for Business running, the mouseover highlight lags a lot.
Hope this will help you
Regards

Fusion 11.0.2 Memory Issue on Mac Mojave
Hi, many times when I launch fusion and load a VM, my 16GB of RAM on my mac gets eaten up. The VM is set to only use 4GB of memory, and when I quit Fusion, the memory comes back.
Has anyone else found this issue? Is this being worked on?
Thanks,

Hi,
Can you check the vmware-vmx process via Activity Monitor when VM is running , to see how much memory is being used by it.

VMware Fusion - Host Mac - VM Linux Ubuntu - bluetooth adapter not visible :(
Hi,
my problem:
I am not able to use my bluetooth adapter (Cambridge Silicon Radio Ltd. CSR8510 A10)
via the VM
my setup:
- Host: MacBook Pro Mojave 10.14.1
- VM: Linux Ubuntu 18.04.1
- VMware Fusion Version 10.1.3 (9472307)
my previous research
- on my host :
- thomas@mac:~$:lsusb
- Bus 020 Device 015: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio Ltd. CSR8510 A10
- adapter is visible
- thomas@mac:~$:lsusb
- in the VM LINUX NOT
- In addition, I have checked
- thomas@ubuntu:~$ sudo hcitool lescan
- Set scan parameters failed: Input/output error
- but that's understandable, since I have no adapter
i check all google search results for a solution
but i found no solution thats works for me
only an old post "...but Linux users are out of luck."
Details:
drivers - Bluetooth Low Energy on Ubuntu virtualized through VMWare Fusion Pro on Mac - Ask Ubuntu
any Idea ?
thx in advance

After .ova import from Oracle VirtualBox the VM´s with Win10 not working
Hello,
when I import a Appliance .ova from VBox to Fusion 11.02 all seems to be ok.
The VM starts with Win 10 (60 GB Hard disc) but after a while the VM stops at 50% oder 66% "devices will be made available".
I wait more than 2 hours but nothing happens anymore
The process vmware-vmx is full loaded 99-100% on one cpu.
I tried this with a Linux VM (about 5 GB hard disc) and it works without problems.
iMac with HighSierra
VirtualBox version 5.2
Fusion 11.02
Enough Memory, CPU, Storage etc.
The VM´s works with VirtualBox without problems.
I tried also PC Migrate - Fusion find the running VM, the code or the ip was accepted, than after name and password of the running Win10 VM I got a "Time out error" and the migration cancel.
Hope you have a solution for me

GNS3 vmrun error on OSX Mojave
I used to be in High Sierra using VMWare Fusion 8 and GNS3(https://gns3.com) would work just fine.
I upgraded OSX to Mojave (10.14.1) and Fusion 11 Pro (11.0.2) and now get a permission error with GNS3 whenever I try to run or edit some element on a VM named 'GNS3 VM'. After reading forums up and down and deleting and reintalling software left and right, found out the following:
1) The error I get when using GNS3 is: "Error while saving settings: GNS3VM: Error while executing VMware command: vmrun has returned an error: Error: A file access error occurred on the host or guest operating system"
2) The underlying command that GNS3 is trying to run is:
'/Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmrun' -T fusion start '/Users/jquesada/Virtual Machines.localized/GNS3 VM.vmwarevm/GNS3 VM.vmx' nogui
3) If I run it from the command line I get this error: (I have run the command both with my user, which is an admin, and using root)
2018-11-27T11:35:48.922| ServiceImpl_Opener: PID 5165
Error: The operation was canceled
4) I have added both VMWare and GNS3 to have full access to disk and full permisions to execute programs on my mac.
Any ideas?
Best of regards.

Re: GNS3 vmrun error on OSX Mojave
Hm, sorry to hear you're experiencing this, looks like a bug with vmrun on Mojave
Looping in the dev team Zongmin
I can reproduce the issue 100%:
➜ vmrun -t fusion start /Users/mike/Documents/Virtual\ Machines.localized/Ubuntu\ Server\ 18.04.1.vmwarevm/Ubuntu\ Server\ 18.04.1.vmx
Error: Unknown error
In that case the VM window opens up and starts resuming, but the error 'Unknown Error' persists.
It looks like the 'nogui' flag is misbehaving:
➜ ~ vmrun -t fusion start /Users/mike/Documents/Virtual\ Machines.localized/Ubuntu\ Server\ 18.04.1.vmwarevm/Ubuntu\ Server\ 18.04.1.vmx nogui
Error: A file access error occurred on the host or guest operating system

Re: Mac doesn't recognize hdmi display through thunderbolt when running Fusion
So, a few things. Fusion 7 wasn't supported on High Sierra, so upgrading is highly recommended in any case. Likewise, if you mean you haven't done any Windows updates in years, make sure you put that VM in a tinfoil baggie and don't connect it to the internet.
Is it a thunderbolt monitor a DisplayPort connection?
