Questions[vmware-player](ubuntu)

I want to install ubuntu as a virtual machine on my ubuntu machine. The version of the host system is: Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS The iso I want to install is: ubuntu-18.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso So I downloaded vmplayer and ran:

sudo bash VMware-Player-15.5.1-15018445.x86_64.bundle

When I run vmplayer in terminal, I get

[AppLoader] Use shipped Linux kernel AIO access library.
An up-to-date "libaio" or "libaio1" package from your system is preferred.

I select "Create new virtual machine", fill everything out, choose /home/me/vmware/Ubuntu 64-bit as location. I choose 10GB disk capacity and "Store virtual disk as a single file".

there is more output on the terminal:

Unknown file type (unallocated) /home/t/vmware/Ubuntu 64-bit/boot/.. - ignoring and continuing.

Now when I start the machine("power on"), the window closes and the terminal says (always from 1 to 5):

I am installing Ubuntu 18.04 desktop (64 bit) on vmware player 12.5.9 using windows 10.

I was able to install Ubuntu 16, but 18 keeps hanging permanently at this step each time I try (I have left it for many hours).

It shows a loading spinner and I am unable to click anything.

I want to uninstall VMware Player on my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS system. How should I uninstall it?

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit (running as a VM on VMWare Player). The keyboard shortcut for Workspace switcher indicates that Ctrl+Alt+ arrow keys switches to the desired workspace.

While this works for Up/Down arows, using Ctrl+Alt+ Left/Right doesn't seem to work - the switcher doesn't move to the desired workspace.

Am I doing something wrong here?

I can't install VMwarePlayer 4.0.3 on Ubuntu 12.04 64Bit. For Version 4.0.2, I found a script that I have to run to patch VMware Player for it to work on my system to properly, and after that I could install 4.0.2.

Is there an similar solution for Version 4.0.3?
