My Windows 7 VM works fine but a newly-created Ubuntu VM doesn't work.
Symptoms:
- Nautilus crashes.
- The guest doesn't remember my resolution.
- The guest hangs for 30 seconds everytime I try to set the resolution.
- The guest may hang indefinitely at startup.
- vmware.log contains an error about missing file: svga3d.dll
- vmware.log contains many errors about failure to enforce norxloss
- vmware.log contains hundreds of errors about serial0 overrun
Tried:
- Deleted the VM and created a new VM with default settings.
- Created a new VM for 12.04.
- Uninstalled the linux-tools and reinstalled them.
- Recreated both 12.10 and 12.04 VMs.
- Manually extracted vmware-tools and ran it in the 12.10 VM.
I'm tired of playing the guessing game. If someone can pinpoint the problem, great. I will attach logs soon.
