Problems installing 13.10 inside VMWare Player 4
- by Thomas S.
In the past I had no problems installing Ubuntu 12.04 inside VMWare Player 4.0.4 on my Windows 7 Pro machine. Now I installed Ubuntu 13.10 and have a couple of problems:
the default screensize (even during the installation) is gigantic
I've told Ubuntu to automatically login - after reboot the gigantic screen occurs without showing anything, without doing anything on mouse clicks, Ctrl+Alt+Backspace does not work
switching to console using Ctrl+Alt+F1...F6 works, but is incredible slow
invoking 'sudo reboot now' does not succeed, it prints
Killing all remining processes... [fail]
Restoring resolver state... [ OK ]
Will now switch to single-user mode
root@ubuntu1310:~#
invoking now 'shutdown now' will soon show the same error.
What I need to do to get Ubuntu 13.10 up and running in VMWare Player?
