I then did a restart of the guest OS from the menu. At that point, the screen went blank, started up, then went blank again. About 30 seconds later it rebooted (saw the VM restart) and then it went blank and just sits there. No graphics at all. Nothing. I chose the Samsung Chromebook Series 5 550 as the image. I had tried the Google Pixel but that proved too large to unpack. Any ideas?

(I know they're cheap, but I'm still skint) So many thanks!<br /><br />I know this is an old post, but hopefully someone will reply and help.<br /><br />I can get a VMWare version running perfectly but was trying like William Droog to get a USB version.<br /><br />Problem is I have an Nvidia based PC so no gfx will show up on an initial usb boot. I saw the updates had an Acer C720 version which in theory should hold nvidia drivers, so I boot via plop USB in VMware in the hopes to build the update via VM first.<br /><br />Anyway, I install vanilla Hexxeh version to usb, GPart to ensure there enough space in the partitions as Will had problems with space (as above). All goes swimmingly until the "unpacking" stage, then it crashes and reboots but too quick to see what the fault was.<br /><br />Is there anyway to pause before the crash in order to trouble shoot. Or, is it possible to convert my updated VMWare version to an .IMG file to try on a USB stick instead?wildgeezahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12708252070534223482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574479799405976286.post-60370877278660263232014-01-30T10:34:52.134-06:002014-01-30T10:34:52.134-06:00Although sound is not functioning and the mouse is...Although sound is not functioning and the mouse is slowwww for me as well, the rest of the environment seems to works nicely.

I am using VMWare Fusion on the Mac, so I have a couple of minor modifications for Mac users:<br /><br />- Before starting, go into "System Preferences->Keyboard" and select the "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys" option. That will allow you to escape to the developer mode in the first step of "Prepare to Get the Recovery Image."<br /><br />- In the "Prepare to Get the Recovery Image" step, you need to use Control+Option+F2 to switch and Control+Option+F1 to switch back.<br /><br />- Once complete, youYou can then revert the system preferences for the keyboard to its original setting (if you wish).<br /><br />I selected the Acer C720 image, since that was what I was looking at for my son. As another commenter noted above, I too do not have sound in the VM (yet) and the mouse at full speed is painfully slow. But, it does work and gives me a good idea what the environment is like and how it works.Jim Kilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04845060949807109452noreply@blogger.com
