Well, your suggestion got rid of all the errors except this one:<br />
<br />
[ warning] [vmusr:vmusr] Channel restart failed [1]<br />
<br />
<br />
I am still seeing this error about 5 times per hour. Any thoughts?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

I guess I will just have to live with this one error. At least your suggestion got rid of the unity related errors. Thanks.

I have already uninstalled and reinstalled VMWare Tools. Is this anything I should worry about?<br />

VMWare Tools keeps crashing

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
