Ubuntu 16.04 Guest on Windows 10 Host installation

[Rui Baptista]

Hi

I'm not able to install Ubuntu 16.04 64bits on Windows 10.
Ubuntu 14.04 64bits has no problem, at least until the installation screen.

This is what I get:

I think this is a Ubuntu issue, but if anyone has other opinion, a similar problem, or was able to install 16.04: a feedback is very welcome.

Attachments: logs from 16.04 and 14.04

Thank you

This crops up sometimes with some host GPUs. You can usually drop to a tty and back and it will allow you to see the install screen.

Host-F1 then host-F7

Be sure to install the guest additions ( in the guest )

Thanks, Perryg

The F1/F7 trick didn't solve it, nothing happens with F1. It is a one-off issue, had no problems installing 14.04 64bits and 16.04 32 bits; I keep one of these until 18.04

For the record, my GPU is a NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT

Do you get to a tty window when you press host-F1

[Rui Baptista]

Yes, I was on tty and the thing happened again, with the same screen

To be clear, nothing happens with F1/F7 when the install reaches that situation.

Just now I saw there is already a thread with a similar problem, I am sorry for the "double post". I will follow that thread and post there my advances, if any


Thanks again, Perryg
