![]() ![]() Using JRE version 1.7.0_13-b20 Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM and then crashes with the following exception message: on MacOS, ASDM starts, asks for credentials, download/refreshes the cached app. I am also running Java 1.7.0_13 on MacOS 10.7.5 ASDM starts fine on my Windows 7 PC running Java 1.7.0_13 release notes state that ASDM 7.1 should work on Java 7 on Windows 7 and MacOS 10.7 ![]() I've had a trawl through various posts and release notes (after updating various components in the process, incl Java with all the diabling/security updates of late) but am still having the problem and this is where I'm at: ![]() I just happens that the Mac has not been used in a little while and when I tried to use ASDM on it, it fails. release an update to Fusion quickly that improves the emulation enough so that the JRE does not crash and that disables the 3D accelleration "switch" in a VM's settings panel when its guest OS is detected to be Mac OS X.I have an ASA-5505 which I have been managing using ASDM from a PC and a Mac. :smileygrin:ĭowngrading Java is not a viable workaround -that will throw a security error on recent versions of Mac OS X 10.7 or 10.8 for a very good reason. Just about the only common factor is that downgrading the guest's Java installation may provide a workaround, when circumstances allow. Java is one of many programs affected Downgrading Java might be a workaround if (and only if) you are not running any other software inside the guest that may also trigger the crash, such as Windows Live Messenger or Google Chrome. The problem is highly dependent on the VM's 3D acceleration configuration and is also highly dependent on the host's video drivers: the aforementioned MacBook Air and MacBook Pro Update 2.0 is directly implicated in the problem. The virtual machine does not continue to run. the guest abruptly powers off with an error message from VMware Fusion) when the host's video driver fails to handle a 3D operation on behalf of a Windows or Linux guest. The problem in KB 2040249 is a crash of the virtual machine itself (i.e. Java is the only program affected, and downgrading Java provides a workaround, as reported by mickywi earlier in this thread. This problem is independent of whether the VM is configured for 3D acceleration or not (we don't even support it for Mac OS guests), and is independent of the host's video drivers. The virtual machine itself continues to run Only the Java program fails, with the Mac OS guest reporting the failure of the program in the usual way. The Java process inside the guest crashes after querying to determine the available 3D capabilities, when it fails to handle what it sees inside the virtual machine. The present thread relates to a crash of a Java program which seems to be caused by the lack of 3D acceleration support for Mac OS guests. Here's a quick side-by-side comparison (alright, an one-above-the-other comparison.): This thread was started 18 days before the update in question became available. The earlier discussion in this thread is not at all related to the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro Update 2.0 issue in KB 2040249. I appreciate your kind and helpful intent, and I hope you will not find my rebuttal disheartening: PlugIn Path: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ugin/Contents/Home/lib/server/libjvm.dylibĬrashed Thread: 27 Java: Java2D Queue FlusherĮxception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x00000000000003b0 Is Java 7 just not going to work inside of a virtual machine? Whose fault is that? Who do I appeal to? I see some chatter about this but no solutions or hope for this to work. In fact, I can't even open the Java Control Panel in my guest OS. ![]() Unfortunately with Java 7 Update 9 installed, Network Connect won't run in my guest OS X. I figured I might as well update to Java 7 since that works well on my host. I have a snapshot saved with an older version of Java installed and that still works fine. This has worked very well unto Apple release the J006 update and removed the browser plugin (see ). I sometimes need to use Network Connect in my OS X VM to connect to my data center VPN (my host is connected to the corporate VPN). Not so new VMware Fusion user but new to the community. ![]()
