I am using ubuntu 14.04 on windows 7 machine using the VMware player. I am not able to login to ubuntu. After I enter my password it comes back to the lock screen. The password i entered is correct. If it is not correct it says invalid password. Only when i enter the correct password it loads the lock screen again in 2-3 secs.
Anyone can help me how to get out of this?
Did you install any toolkit or something? Usually it happens when an external display driver is installed on top of the VM graphics driver. May be the driver is not compatible with in and that is why the display was not working.
If you have installed any toolkit, check if it has any graphics driver within it. If so, Uninstall the toolkit if you have installed any and see if its working.

I installed a Windows 10 system on Virtual Box 7.0, in a Ubuntu 22.04 machine.
When I installed Windows 10, a user named "vboxuser" was automatically created and I began to use it.
Now, when I try login, I received a message indicating that the password has expired and that I should enter another one, but it asks for the old one that I don't know what it is. The password field was always blank.
I also tried to sign in with my Microsoft account but I get the wrong password warning (when it's not wrong).
Is there any way to solve this problem?
When installing Windows using the wizard in Virtualbox, the default password for vboxuser is changeme
(at least in my case. using virtualbox 7.0.4)
Got an message in Windows 10(1903) about it not finding Nvidia control panel.
Message: "Nvidia control panel not found"
I have downloaded and installed the latest Nvidia drivers for my grafic card but I don't understand why the control panel is not being installed when the driver is installed.
Anyway I found some information that says that I need to install the Nvidia control panel from MS Store but here comes the problem, I have no internet access from that particular computer. I guess I want to download it from MS Store or somewhere else but where?
Is there any other trick to get the control panel for Nvidia to work?
best regards,
Hans
I installed an older driver version and that works with the control panel. The new driver does not.
I am having a probably trivial issue with the Cloudera Quickstart virtual machine. I tried many things out, but I don't manage to make it work. So, first, I installed the Virtualbox image on a Windows workstation which has a German standard (qwertz) keyboard.
In the virtual machine, which runs a Linux Centos, I set the German keyboard and everything works fine. Now, as the workstation is in my office, I installed TeamViewer, in order to connect from my MacBook from home. And here it comes the issue that struggles me.
The MacBook has a German keyboard and all the keys, which do not require the alt combination works fine. If I need, for example # (alt+L) or \ (alt+shift+7), or anything that requires the alt combination, nothing appears on the Centos (in the Windows workstation it would correctly appear!). Could you imagine to code without \ ~ # ??
I tried also to install a German(Mac) keyboard and also a screen keyboard (florence) in the Centos and they also do not work properly. Is it a TeamViewer issue or a VirtualBox issue? How can I solve it?
Any help is appreciated!
I figure out that is a Virtualbox issue, that takes the keyboard configuration of the host in which is installed, in this case Windows 10. I could not find a simple way changing the keyboard setting in the Centos machine run via the Mac Os in TeamViewer to make it work. So, as workaround, I opted for using Docker Cloudera Quickstart rather than the VM. And everything works fine and can happily type all the #~|\ that I need.
I've got a new Dell Inspiron 17 (7779) laptop with Windows 10 x64 (1703) which was working fine right up until the point where HyperV was installed. Now the host screen flickers like mad even with no Guest VM's created.
Dell are being particularly unhelpful, so I was wondering is anyone else was having the same issue.
Basically is anyone running Hyper V on a dell Inspiron successfully.
I guess it could also be a clash with the display drivers (Intel HD Graphics 620, driver ver 21.20.16.4627)
OK, I think I've resolved this with the latest Intel graphics drivers 21.20.16.4678, however there were a few issues...
So the Intel drivers (21.20.16.4627) installed on the machine were the ones installed via the Dell Driver Detect tool, if you just download the latest drivers from intel and install them, it wont update them....I think there is some versioning issue with the dell drivers, as it seems to think the existing drivers are newer than the ones your trying to install....
In order to make it accept the new drivers you need to uninstall the existing display driver AND delete the install files. Then after a re-boot the display drivers used should be the default Microsoft ones, you can then upgrade the driver (again via computer manager) selecting the location of the downloaded and unzipped intel drivers.
I'd like to be able to thank Dell for there help, but they failed miserably to provide any.
One last thing...
For some reason windows automatically 'upgrade' the display drivers and re-installed a old version (21.20.16.4627) replacing the latest drivers I installed. I then had to rollback the automatic update, which fixed the issue again. Hopefully I won't have to keep doing this...
It looks like someone has made a mess of versioning some of these updates, its difficult to tell whether its an issue with the Intel drivers or the Dell wrapping of them as part of the driver detect tool, but there's definitely an issue.
OK, so I would like to install openSUSE 13.2 64bit with my USB (want to install it, not to use LiveCD - so i downloaded installation 4.7GB iso). I have used Universal USB Installer 1.9.5.7 to create installation media. Everything worked without problem. When I boot from it, first a openSUSE screen shows up with options Install, Upgrade, Something-I-Don't-Remember and Check installation media. If I choose Install, terminal shows and at the end it says that it is launching "openSUSE installation program". After that, a graphically stunning screen with header "linuxrc" (seems to be responsible for launching installer) shows up and asks me to insert installation media and then press Yes to continue. If I click yes, it shows again, if I click no, it shows me another screen with options Install, Check disk integrity, Reboot and so on... I choose install and it asks for source medium. Options are CD/Network/HDD. However, I want to install it from an USB.
So, my question is: What am I doing wrong? Because I got that feeling that after choosing Install in the first screen (that one with openSUSE background), something else should happen instead of showing up linuxrc. Like launching or whatever. Or should I use another app to "burn" my ISO on USB?
Ok i just managed to make it work.
I am using ISO downloaded today morning (5.November 2014 at 13:11) and ImageWriter ( http://www.mediafire.com/download/9haeauu9sq8xtkx/ImageWriter.exe ). And it seems to work. If you get error about writeToDisk, close the program and launch it as Administrator (i mean it, right click and select run as administrator, it asks you for admin password even if you launch it with doubleclick but it won't work). Then find your file (it shows only *.*raw files in open dialog so you will have to just start writing iso file name in Open bar), choose right device and it will do the hard work. If it finishes with "Sucess" message box, restart PC and boot from USB. Then select Installation.
