</div>It isn't a kernel bug - I can boot and get the gdm login in a VMware<br>
workstation VM running intrepid i386 Ubuntu, but after I enter my<br>
user/password, the GUI hangs with the brown screen. I have tested<br>
kubuntu Intrepid alpha 1 and had no issues booting or logging in to the<br>
GUI. This suggests that there is a bug with the version of Gnome that is<br>
packaged for intrepid alpha 1, when run in a VM.<br>

<br>Tim,<br><br>I have the exact same issue as you. I can boot to GDM in VMWare, but as soon as I enter my username and password, I get a brown screen and the system freezes. The VMWare process on the host red-lines the host CPU..<br>
<br>I've tried logging in after disabling all services in /etc/xdg/autostart - to no avail. I've also tried disabling Nautilus from starting up, but it hasn't made any difference.<br><br>I've tried monitoring top on the virtual machine from the host machine over SSH as I log in, to see if I can spot which process is hogging the CPU. The SSH session appears to freeze as soon as I attempt to log in though, and top is never updated with new values.<br>
