Comments about the questions: > ubuntu as host with ubuntu as guest works fine
The bug report is regarding WinXP + VMWare Workstation + Ubuntu Server; discussions on other platforms, while interesting, are not really applicable to the specific issue mentioned. There are others on ubuntuforums.org reported identical lockups under the same condition. The culprit appears to be the server kernel in Ubuntu 6.06. If you load [X|K]Ubuntu and use the server kernel, chances are it will also locks up under WinXP/VMWare Workstation. > have you tried the desktop edition instead ? > have you tried xubuntu ? Yes, Xubuntu and Ubuntu Desktop works. But such discussion is also irrelevant to the issue at hand; it is about Ubuntu Server, not about Xubuntu or Ubuntu Desktop. > have you tried vmware server (but you'll need linux (Ubuntu 6.06 Desktop LTS ) or W2K3 host os) ? Again not application - see above. > How long did you watch the hang? Longer than a few minutes, or less? Forever. -- Ubuntu Server LAMP 6.06 in VMWare on WinXP hangs after installation https://launchpad.net/bugs/48284 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
