"Loading please wait" on Ubuntu VirtualBox on Wind
Hi,
1. On Windows XP SP2 I installed VirtualBox 1.3.8 product.
2. I created virtual machine (linux 2.6) and setup virtual disks and CD mounted.
3. Inserted Ubuntu 7.04 Desktop into CD drive and start booting.
4. Ubuntu first window start up. But first option"Start or install Ubuntu" doen't work it hangs after few seconds displaying "Loading please wait..."
5. I have rebooted virtual machine and from start up menu selected "Start Linux in save graphic mode". Ubuntu was up and running. I successfully installed Ubuntu.
6. After installation Ubuntu requires to reboot. Now the same problem appears: "Loading please wait..." - it looks like Ubuntu would like to run in normal graphic mode - but as I understand it should run in "save graphic mode" - how to overcome this problem and how to just start successfully installed Ubuntu.
Any idea?
Thanks,
Abcuser

I have successfully start up Ubuntu from recovery console. Ubuntu was up and running - I started Firefox and went to internet.
But I don't know which key I have pressed on recovery console. I just pressed random keys
So I have rebooted, but just don't know what key I have pressed - it looked like as changing fonts (from bold to non bold) - it looks like changing terminal settings or something like that. Can someone help me out what key I have pressed? I know I am very very very close to solution...

Ok, I have been trying out 100 things, but I think I have a solution:
1. start virtual machine
2. pressing ESC at "GRUB loading please wait"
3. select "recovery mode"
4. pressing <F6> multiple times (maybe only one is enough)
5. command prompt is displayed. I executed command:
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
6. xserver console pops-up: I just went through the wizard and select only!!!! default.
7. After finishing program returns back to command prompt. I executed command: reboot
8. Ubuntu reboots - don't touch anything - it reboots fine.
It looks like there is something not good with graphic card or monitor settings. Don't know...

Hi,
I had the same issue installing and booting ubuntu 7.04.
I run XP SP2 on my desktop PC : opteron 165 (dual core), 2GB ram.
My solution is to assign affinity of the VM running Ubuntu to cpu1 or cpu0 with the task manager.
1/ run the ubuntu vm
2/ then pause the ubuntu vm at start up (innotek on screen)
3/ run the task manager of the host (ctrl+alt+suppr)
4/ find the process "VirtualBox.exe", there are 2 process (if running a single vm), then set affinity of the "VirtualBox.exe" using the most memory to cpu0 or cpu1 (right click the proces, choose "set affinity" and uncheck a box), close task manager
5/ resume the ubuntu vm et voilà
It worked fine for me. Now I can run ubuntu 7.04 and kubuntu 7.04.

It is possible that "dual core" technology is causing a problem. I use IBM ThinkPad T60 (Intel Centrino Duo T2300; CPU: 1.66 GHz; RAM: 1.5 GB).Belberto wrote:Hi,

Now my Ubuntu 7.04 boots up OK, but I will think about your suggestion next time I run into the same problem. Thanks for posting you note.

This is all very interesting!
In my experience with a competing VM product, I had absolutely no problems installing any of the *Buntus (versions 604, 610, or 704) as guests on my current PC, which has a Core2 Duo CPU, 2 GIG RAM. I've run the host as XP and then Vista.
It seems like I'm getting a whole other set of problems installing Ubuntu 704 on Virtual Box 1.3.8.

Hi, it is also interesting using VMware workstation. I have installed it on my job PC - everything works fine. But installing it on my laptop VMware corrupted my network settings on Windows. So general rule: "each product has its one set of bugs".Pohutukawa wrote:This is all very interesting!

I had the same problems,
but i found a workaround. I start the linux-kernel with the option clock=pit. (kernel option in grubs or in the commandline ) Now it works fine for me.

can you please post more details. I am not a Linux geek, so I would appreciate if more details is posted.
Thanks,

Re: "Loading please wait" on Ubuntu VirtualBox on Wind
Hi all,
I moved a Virtual Hard Disk from one VBox machine to another and when booting I had the same problem. The newer version of VirtualBox had attached the hard disk file to a virtual SATA controller, whereas on the old VirtualBox it was attached to an IDE controller. I opened up the two versions of VirtualBox side by side and compared the settings to make sure they were identical and everything then worked fine.
Hope it helps someone.
Cheers,
