open-vm-tools-2013.09.16.1328054-r3 causes freezing upon attempts to logout or reboot or shut down. I had been going crazy trying to figure out what exactly was stopping the process but couldn't. As soon as I uninstalled this package, I was able to logout and reboot as normal. I also tried the regular vm tools from the tar package, same problem. I am running both Gentoo host and Gentoo Guest , both with systemd. I wonder if an updated tools version is coming out soon that may address the problem.
The problem is, what is the problem? When you find out, please reopen this bug report after you added sufficient information. Sufficient information would include at the least your `emerge --info' output but in this case, that apparently isn't enough.

I am happy to provide any info needed but I'm not sure of where to even start. What I can say is this 1- Windows Host or Linux Host (Gentoo 64) makes no difference, problem is exactly the same 2- Seems to have started approximately 4 months ago 3- Problem completely goes away with uninstallation of open-vm-tools 4- Problem is the same if using vmware tools proprietary 5- On the same Gentoo Host, a Fedora VM guest with the proprietary VM Tools does not have this problem
What I'm a bit confused about is how noone else has reported this, I don't believe there is anything on my system configuration that can be causing this but admittedly I am a bit stumped.
What more information would you like, the problem occurs on two different machines of mine, 1 is a gentoo host, the other is a windows 8.1 host, different gentoo vms but the very same problem. Im not sure what to do to troubleshoot this further
*** Bug 526534 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
1. bugs will not be noticed if left in RESOLVED status 2. what the ass does "freeze" mean, X lockup, can you switch PTY, sysrq, does vmware freeze, does water begin to condense and solidify on your CPU?
Frankly, I have no idea what to do with this bug. I personally have not experienced any "freezing" behavior.
Hello Alex, Mike, I'm sorry if this bug is troublesome and I don't wish to be a pain but it does exist and frankly it has been going on for months and only recently have I been able to even get an ideo of what in the hell is happening. excuse any repetition, just trying to be thorough 1- Windows or Linux Host, same issue 2- Only happens with my Gentoo Guest, Fedora guest on same Gentoo Host does not experience this issue 3- happens with both open vm tools and vmware proprietary tools 4- DOES NOT occur if vmware workstation is running in an unmaximized window or if there is no resize of window 5- I can sometimes ssh into machine (no apparent clues) but best guess is that this is an xorg issue or vmware xorg driver issue. 6- Does not occur if tools (either open or proprietary) is uninstalled 7- if I tty2 and login and do shutdown -h now, machine will shutdown immediately.
(In reply to Billy DeVincentis from comment #10) I don't doubt that you are experiencing a problem, I just have no idea how to resolve it. I just don't want you to expect me to fix this for you. If you have vmware support, you could try contacting them, but I don't know if they officially support Gentoo as a guest OS.
Problem is resolved by downgrading xorg-server to 1.15.2, a blocker should be put to not allow higher versions of xorg-server with open-vm-tools for now nevertheless a problem exists with 1.16
This bug seems to concern Product = Gentoo / Alt, not Product = Gentoo Linux.
