[Bug 1366653] Re: kernel BUG at /build/buildd/linux-3.16.0/drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_drv.c:1187!

[Eliah Kagan]

Embarrassingly, I wrote "Ubuntu Mint" in the bug report (there is no
such OS but some people use that term to mean "Linux Mint." Rather, I
had this bug on Ubuntu MATE Utopic, not Linux Mint. It may also exist on
Mint but I have not verified this. I apologize for the wrong information
I gave in my bug report.

I'm editing the report and changing the distro/package back to open-vm-
tools (Ubuntu), but if there's an independent reason to believe this
affects other distros/projects, then by all means anyone may feel free
to make any further appropriate changes.

** Description changed:

- A kernel panic occurred while shutting down an Ubuntu Mint (Utopic)
+ A kernel panic occurred while shutting down an Ubuntu MATE (Utopic)
  amd64 system running in a VMware Workstation 10.0.3 build-1895310
  virtual machine with VMware Tools installed. Messages appeared to
  indicate a problem in one of the vmware kernel modules as the cause.
  Details collected by apport appeared that they may be sufficient to
  identify the cause specifically. I hope so, since I don't have any
  information about any actions I may have taken to trigger this panic (or
  to have prevented it in the past).
