Hello everyone, I am a total VMware and Ubuntu noob, and I am stuck in a rather interesting mess.
I downloaded the Ubuntu 12.04 iso for my VMware Player 3. Here's what I did:
Made a virtual machine with no ISO file, selected Linux (Ubuntu) (to install VMware tools).
VM starts up, as usual prompts me to download tools for ubuntu.
VMware tools get downloaded and installed without hiccups. (NOTE;I was using IOBit's Game Booster 3 just to keep unnecessary services (vmware not affected) off while VMware was running)
Once done, I delete the blank VM and make one with ubuntu iso.
Everything gets installed, ubuntu starts booting up.
Now here's the mess:
Ubuntu 12.04 comes up in plain old Unicode font, and then:
VMware Easy Install
PLEASE WAIT! VMware tools is being installed on your PC. Depending on the version of Ubuntu you're installing, you may log in below and use the system during the installation. Otherwise, wait till the graphical interface comes up.
Now I'm perplexed. HELP ME!
