#VMWARE WORKSTATION 10 FREEZES SOFTWARE#
Usually commercial software or games are produced for sale or to serve a commercial purpose. Even though, most trial software products are only time-limited some also have feature limitations. I've only encountered this problem with VMware Workstation, VirtualBox does not freeze/hang when executing the apache benchmark command. After that trial period (usually 15 to 90 days) the user can decide whether to buy the software or not. Trial software allows the user to evaluate the software for a limited amount of time. Demos are usually not time-limited (like Trial software) but the functionality is limited. In some cases, all the functionality is disabled until the license is purchased.
Demoĭemo programs have a limited functionality for free, but charge for an advanced set of features or for the removal of advertisements from the program's interfaces. In some cases, ads may be show to the users. Basically, a product is offered Free to Play (Freemium) and the user can decide if he wants to pay the money (Premium) for additional features, services, virtual or physical goods that expand the functionality of the game. This license is commonly used for video games and it allows users to download and play the game for free. There are many different open source licenses but they all must comply with the Open Source Definition - in brief: the software can be freely used, modified and shared. Programs released under this license can be used at no cost for both personal and commercial purposes. Open Source software is software with source code that anyone can inspect, modify or enhance. Freeware products can be used free of charge for both personal and professional (commercial use). So, first post done, hopefully more to come.Freeware programs can be downloaded used free of charge and without any time limitations.

Next step, download a full original copy of the OS, no wait, write about it in my dead WordPress page, and hopefully follow this post up with multiple small posts explaining how I did all the above in details, with snapshots, versions of software used, download locations, and command lines. CPU consumption is at 0 and the command with which I launched the installer is: sudo sh VMware-Workstation-6.5.
Interestingly, it is so frozen, that even after I hit cancel, it is still stuck.
#VMWARE WORKSTATION 10 FREEZES INSTALL#
With some luck and a lot of searching, I found a way to disable the hDPI mode and finally I have the OS running at a resolution where I can actually see things. I am trying to install VMWare Workstation 6.5.5 (64-bit) on Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit), but at about 2/3 of the progress bar, it freezes where it says: Installing VMWare Player 2.5.5 Configuring.
unzip, mount, install, reboot, and bam… the resolution is set, and then it jumps back to a high DPI lower resolution, which was something I never heard of before having not used any Retina display Macs before. Finding it online was a bit difficult, but using the trusty google search, nothing is impossible. So install VMware Tools, that should be easy, menu -> vm -> Install VMware Tools… Nope, not working, unlocker failed to download the VMware Tools package for some reason.

Now with the Mac OS freshly installed and running, the next step is to get to see things on the screen, I needed to set the resolution to the max my monitor will support, so, 1920 x 1080. Started up the VM and boom, the progress bar and then the setup screen. Then of course use unlocker to enable booing Mac OS.
#VMWARE WORKSTATION 10 FREEZES UPGRADE#
I was using vmware workstation 14 at this point and thought it would be a good idea to upgrade it to the latest version. The download and install took around 3 hours with my very fast internet (not), and the vm rebooted to the apple logo, and then nothing… It was stuck there. Downloading the OS from the App Store yielded only the small sized installer, so I decided to perform an install from that onto a new virtual disk. The VM I had was running OS X 10.13 – High Sierra. I don’t like using vm images or ISO downloaded from the internet in fear that they may have been compromised, so I like working with the original installers that I have downloaded from the App Store directly. This time it is the latest available version OS X 10.15 – Catalina.Īfter having done this almost half a dozen times before, I will usually find an old vm lying around on a spare disk which I can bring up and download the latest Mac OS from the Apple Store. Then I find just about enough spare time to start playing with that again. My main computer was a MacBook for a little over 7 years, but unfortunately these days have passed and my existing MacBook is resting comfortably in a corner on my desk, sadly collecting dust.Įvery now and then I decide to run another VM with the latest OS, maybe bring back to life my old photo library and devonthink notes. I have always loved the Apple Mac OS, ever since I first used System 7 (Mac OS 7) back in the early 1990’s. Setting up Mac OS on a vm running on Windows is something I have done several times for one reason or the other, but mainly because I miss using the OS.
