Issue creating Ubuntu 18.04 desktop VM
-
In your case, it seems it doesn't change the issue (do you have disable VGA at the same time using UEFI?).
Here is my advanced settings where it works without any VM modification:
-
@olivierlambert I had VGA on. (Which must be the default.) Turned it off and advancing much farther now. Thank you.
-
Just for closure...
I followed all your helpful guidance and am now up and running. Thank you all for your assistance.
-
Good, thanks for the feedback, we have now documented this in case someone else got the issue
Thanks for the link @stormi

@olivierlambert i'm using a ova import with UEFI comming from virtualbox, folowed all previous option and ddocumentation and still can't get my VM to boot. It's stuck with black screen and no network or whatever informations. Using this packer template to build the VM :

Any suggestion or whatever i'm missing ? Ubuntu 16.04 OVA created the same way can be imported and booted flawlessly.
