I open VMare workstation 17 player (non-commercial use only), and i open an exiting VM, provided by my professor. I click "play VM".
After which in about 5-10 seconds, I get a screen saying:
[2.205504] piix4_smbus 0000:00:07.3: SMBus Controller not enabled!!!!
/dev/.............................................. (theres some numbers and other stuff but not relevant)
You are in emergency mode. After logging in, type "journalcct1 -xb" to view system logs, "systemct1 reboot" to reboot, "systemct1 default" or "exit" to boot into default mode.
Press Enter for Maintenance (or press Control-D to continue):
I CANT TYPE ANYTHING. ALL I CAN DO IS PRESS ENTER OR CONTROL-D.
If i press Enter i get:
root@xubuntu-virtual-machine:~#
after which I press Control-D and it says:
exit
Reloading system manager configuration
Starting default target
BRIGHT RED TEXT SAYING: Failed to start default target: Transaction for graphical.target/start is destructive (emergency.target has 'start' job queued, but 'stop' is included in transaction).
I need help fixing this
