Background I have got Xenial Xerus installed on á Mid-2014 Macbook Professional OSX Large Sierra host, operating in a VMWare Fusion 10 instance. On Blend 7, I had no issues with Ubuntu on VMWare. However, since I also virtualize my Bóotcamp partition for convenience. I was pushed to update to 10 since 7 no longer facilitates loading Bootcamp on the most recent OSX.

Both VMWare Fusion and Parallels are quite capable of running Ubuntu Linux or just about any other Linux distro and since Linux isn’t as resource intensive as Microsoft Windows, the virtual machines tend to run quite snappy regardless of configuration. Importing Ubuntu 16.04 OVA in vmware fusion (self.vmware) submitted 2 years ago by bound_rhyme Hi there, I'm well versed in sysadmin stuff and public clouds but I am vmware total noob. Turns out, the 16.04 LTS on Ubuntu's repository does not contain drivers that are compatible with VMWare on Mac. VMWare 10 (though it is not stated anywhere in documentation or otherwise) requires updated system applications and drivers not provided in the vanilla distribution.

VM specs 3 Cores, 4GT memory, 20GM HDD (10GT free), Hardware version 14. 768MC VRam Concern I simply cannot ever reboot or shut down thé VM. If l restart or shut down Ubuntu, on the following reboot, I get the information: 'Sata gadget 0:1 could not be linked, always attempt to link when starting this VM?'

After that, Ubuntu starts in low graphics setting, and I am pushed to recover a overview óf my VM whén it has been operating. This is definitely practical, with appropriate snapshotting and support up I possess been recently passably making use of Ubuntu. However, I have got got to proceed into the system in low graphics mode after a crash and back up my work, restore overview, and bring back my work many, several times. Conceivably if I actually begin leaking memory space and need to reboot, I'll need to re-imagé the VM once again. What I've Tried. Different allocations of ram, cores. ReinstaIling x-desktop.

Reinstalling/upgrading Nvidia drivers (this broke the hell óut of thé VM when l tried). Reinstalling VMWare tools. Reinstalling Ubuntu. Setting up all way of different desktop environments. The reduced graphics mode in VMWare issue was solved by carrying out a apt-get revise and update. Transforms out, the 16.04 LTS on Ubuntu's repository will not include drivers that are usually suitable with VMWare on Mac.

VMWare 10 (though it is not stated anyplace in paperwork or otherwise) needs updated system programs and motorists not supplied in the vanilla distribution. I have got no concept why the VM just broke after a reboot, but like is technologies. For safe measure, I furthermore improved my images memory allocation to 1024MB (up from the suggested 768MT).

You can develop a digital device that uses a Linux submission as its visitor operating program. VMware Fusion produces your digital machine, selects the default Linux set up choices, and installs VMware Tools, which lots the motorists needed to optimize your virtual machine's overall performance. You can furthermore have got Linux Easy Install create your home folder accessible to Linux as a contributed folder, so that you can talk about files between the virtual device and your Mac. Linux Easy Install is certainly available for the using operating techniques.
