VMWare Workstation 7.0 crashes with Direct3D acceleration (WinXP SP2)

**Flaminghedgehog** · February 25th, 2011

First and foremost, I apologize if I am posting this is a nonsensical manner. I'm a little frustrated as I haven't been able to remedy this for a few days now.

This problem began a week ago. The date was 2011-02-17 (yyyy/mm/dd). Before I did this update via the update manager (System > Administration > Update manager), every one of my applications was working fine before I did this (Most of them still do). I wanted to update my system in this way because I felt that my packages currently installed were outdated; so I did! (Full Log file for this year so far)

I updated my system, most of my applications still work. The only oddity I now found was that when I try and play games through a Virtual Machine (Using a Windows XP as a guest operating system) that use any form of Direct3D acceleration, I am presented with the following error.

http://pastebin.com/LLuM9ZtK (Output log)

I couldn't make heads or tails over the output log file (And I still cant!), so I searched around for any type of correlation to this error. I found out that this error was related to a video related error in the virtual machine. Formatted the virtual machine guest, tried again, same result.

There was a topic on these forums (and neighboring forums) which told a user to do a apt-get install of driconf, and to disable some form of texture rendering (I can't remember what was said in the topic) in order to remedy this problem. I follow in suit to install driconf and try to run it, aaaaand..!

Code:

$ driconf 
libGL is too old.

Failure it seems! I also had a window pop up too.

I searched up both of the errors. Unfortunately, I was unable to find a correct tutorial to step me through the process of remedying this issue. Just my luck!

I decided to give up for a few days to clear my head. Suddenly I noticed something.

On the splash screen of my login screen, the nVidia logo normally appears for a second (Thanks to the removal of the "noLogo" option in the x.org config file!). It appears I'm using a nVidia beta driver which strikes me as odd. I'm currently under the impression that this could very well be the source of my problems as beta drivers are commonly found to have something missing. This is what I'm currently thinking.

I am currently at a loss of what to do. I did spy a list of packages I could potentially install, but I don't know if I want to do this method of simply installing nVidia packages. Let alone, I wouldn't know what to install in the first place.

Any suggestions as to what I can do? I would like my Direct3D acceleration to work properly without causing my Virtual Machine guest to crash. ("I would love to play my games again!")

For the convenience of others, here is an output of various commands I have done in my terminal. (There is more than one command in this [code] block)

Wow - this is some post (I say this as one hedgehog to another).

I need to get my head around this, please:

You are running Ubuntu 10.04,
You updated to WMware Player 7.0. What was the previous version?

Did you update the Windows XP Nvidia drivers inside the VM?
Did you update the Ubuntu Nvidia drivers?

Also, just to be sure I have this down:

Is your Ubuntu 10.04 32 or 63 bit?
Is your XP PRO VM 32 or 64 Bit?

Lastly - what level of DirectX are you running inside the VM?

I chuckled. Thanks for putting a smile on my face.

To answer your questions in order:
I am running Ubuntu 10.04,
My current version of VMWare Player (or VMWare Workstation) has always been 7.0. I have had no previous version of this in the past. I have tried updating VMWare Player/Workstation, but trying to install or uninstall proved to be fatal.

Yes, I updated the nVidia drivers to the most current redistribution (I believe it's called end-user runtime?) version.
On the date of 2011-02-17, I did a big software update through the update manager (System > Administration > Update Manager) because I was behind on updates for quite a while. I'm sure there is a few nVidia packages in that update. After all, this is how all this nonsense began! Essentially, if I might have not performed this update, I probably wouldn't be complaining now, would I?

Included packages from my 2011-02-17 update:

My Ubuntu is actually a x86 bit system. Presumably, it's able to support both x32 and x64 software.
I am under the assumption that my XP Pro Virtual Machine is 32 bit

I'm not sure what you mean by "the level of DirectX inside the Virtual Machine". Could I trouble you to elaborate if you can?

**Hedgehog1** · February 25th, 2011

Without getting too off topic, MS has been offering better/faster DirectX APIs - these are the way to minimize overhead and talk directly to your GPU card as much as possible.

The fact that you are not aware of the DriectX level tells me you have not futzed with any of that, so that is what I need to know.

The XP PRO is 32 bit, so Ubuntu 32 or 64 bit will handle it fine.

Basically, we are down the the Ubuntu Nvidia drivers, then.

Essentially, you need to go back to **a** previous version of just the Ubuntu Nvidia driver (I had to do this very thing for ATI Windows drivers a bit ago, newer ones barfed <technical phrase> with Photoshop's GPU acceleration - it happens). I will assume that they didn't try your 'Unique' setup in Nvidia's testing plan.

I believe the process is to then 'blacklist' further updates once that is done, so the newer ones won't break your setup.

So - step one is we find out how to go back to earlier Nvidia drivers in Ubuntu (new experience for me - never done it) and how to blacklist the drivers once you get the correct earlier version re-loaded.

The are both questions you can ask on the regular forums (the note book folks often have to do this).

It not a direct answer - but a path to it.

I will be learning too as I follow it.

p.s. Keep the posts direct and simple. We Hedgehogs have a reputation to uphold!

My current NVidia version is 270.18 on my host machine. I had recently downloaded a NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.36.run file from the main NVidia website. I assume the NVidia version here is 260.19.36 based on the file name.

Simply put, would you recommend I run it in my terminal?

To be very honest: I have not tried to downgrade a driver before in Ubuntu and I don't know if that is all there is to it.

I suspect you have all you need, and running it is all that is needed, but I cannot say for sure.

Not much help, I know; but I don't want to hurt your system.

p.s. I just looked at my Nvidia driver and I am at 260.19.06 - I have fallen rather behind myself...
