midrive Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Hitting an interesting issue where I am able to install and boot Windows and CLI based VMs but anytime I try to create a vm with a linux distro with a gui it freezes at various points during boot. I've tried Ubuntu (18 & 19), fedora, and mint linux as well as deleting the libvirt.img file and trying both bios options but no dice. Attaching the diagnostics but wondering if there is something obvious that I am missing. nas-diagnostics-20200318-1429.zip Quote Link to comment
jonp Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Do you ever get the install done? Do you see this screen? Please take a screenshot of the Edit VM page for the VM you're struggling with. Quote Link to comment
jonp Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 As an FYI, I attempted this today and was able to get into a GUI of the latest Ubuntu 19 build no problem. Maybe check your memory assignment for the VM. If you leave it at 1GB, it won't be enough. Quote Link to comment
midrive Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 Hi jonp, Thanks for your help with this one, when I try to run either in live mode or select the install option in the boot loader I do get the loading screen with the 5 dots and it loads for a bit but after that it just goes black.

jonp Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 You might just need to let it sit a while to finish installing. Not sure what's wrong but I literally just did the same thing on my system here and it worked fine. Have you checked for bios updates? Quote Link to comment
jonp Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Do you not have a cache disk installed? If not, that will greatly reduce the performance of the VM. Quote Link to comment
midrive Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 got it, was using Jump desktop as my vnc client but switched over to another client and it worked perfect. Thanks again for all of your help! Quote Link to comment
