Why are my hardware tabs disabled for my VMWare player image?
- by djangofan
I just installed a Ubuntu 10.10 image on VMWare player and after I finished installing I was messing with the hardware settings and I did the following:
1. disabled the floppy device
2. changed the CDRom to "use system cdrom"
3. tried to enable the VMWare tools but it complained that the vm was in "Easy Install" mode
After I fiddled with the VM now my floppy and 2 CD rom devices as well as sound card and USB settings are all disabled in the VM hardware settings. Any idea on why this occurred and how to fix it?
