BinaryData Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 Have you tried turning off 3D Acceleration in the VM settings? Not yet, I'll do that next.VirtualBox didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binaryzero Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) I wouldn't be surprised if it's your chipset, Ubuntu not liking it, cracking the sads, and crashing the machine. You are using a type 2 hypervisor after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BinaryData Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) Have you tried turning off 3D Acceleration in the VM settings? Hmm.. Just noticed something..3D Graphics Acceleration was enabled. VMWare tools weren't installed.Edit:Just crashed while trying to change resolution from 800x600. =/ Edited November 23, 2015 by BinaryData Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerFan Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Curious if this is a pre-existing VM of Ubuntu, or if you are trying to do a new installation from ISO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BinaryData Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 Curious if this is a pre-existing VM of Ubuntu, or if you are trying to do a new installation from ISO? New Installation from an ISO. I got it to work, but I have to pre-set the resolution with VMWare instead of OS based. Otherwise it'll bluescreen my laptop.

T3X4S Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Change the hardware version of the VM to 8 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T3X4S Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) What do you mean, T3X4S? When you create or edit a VM, there is a setting for hardware version, I cant remember where exactly it hides - but sometimes - it can help with compatibility issues.Other than that - do you have the Virtual settings config'd in your BIOS ? Its not mandatory because you dont have to enable (VT-X ?) in the VM guest - but I have run into issues with that before.Im sorry I can't show screenshots, I dont have VMWare Wx installed right now - but I can tell you the VMWare support KB is pretty large. Hope that helps a littleIf you dont have to have VMWare - can you try Virtualbox ?UPDATE - what if you turn off intel VT and disable in VMWare ?

Hope that helps a littleIf you dont have to have VMWare - can you try Virtualbox ? I think I may have figured out what was going on. I had the Integrated card set as the primary for VMWare, but my global setting was for my NVidia 950M. I'm going to re-enable the settings I changed, and see what happens. I think Windows 10 was crashing because of the GFX Card not being able to handle what I wanted.I'm not a huge fan of VirtualBox. I've had plenty of issues with it. I'm sticking with VMWare because of all the extra features and I'm trying to learn ESXi and other things. Part of my self-schooling.Edit:It was also wanting 768MB of video card memory, which my integrated card can't do. I think its only 128mb, lol.

BinaryData Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 See, I am useful sometimes. I knew we would figure it out eventually. Neowin is pretty dang good about that sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
