VMware Player won't boot after Ubuntu Guest Upgrade

Hi All,

I upgraded my Ubuntu Guest machine to 14.04 LTS from the guest machine. Things seemed to progress smoothly until I restarted the virtual machine. Now when I start the Virtual Machine I see a few messages about not being able to find files but I'm left with a black screen, no GUI, no CLI prompt. Ultimately I think there is an issue with my graphics adapter but before I get to that point I know I need to install VMware tools on the updated virtual machine. My problem is that I don't know how to get there. Questions: is there a simple way to boot to the command line (I have tried holding the shift key but GRUB doesn't work), is there something I can change in the vmx file that will bypass the GUI on start up?

 

Any thoughts would be appreciated,

 

JT
