I have a Ubuntu Server 11.04 64 bit VM running on VMware Player 3.1.4 that only shows a black screen. No matter what I try, the screen remains black. The VM has worked the first time.
When I reset the machine, it shows the VMware loader and a flickering _
for about a second. Then the screen turns black again.
VM settings:
Memory: 512MB
Processors: 1
HD: 20GB
CD: auto detect
Floppy: auto detect
Network adapter: NAT
USB controller: present
soundcard: auto detect
printer: present
display: auto detect
I just created a fresh VM and the same happens, so it seems that the problem is consistent.
Is this a fresh installation? Has it worked before? What are your virtual machine settings? Is anything mounted in the virtual disk drive? It'll be good to have more details. – Jin – 2011-09-26T09:15:31.980
