Hi,
I have a Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS guest VM on my Windows 10 Pro host.
I reinstalled the latest vmware tools for my Workstation Pro 14.1.7 build-12989993.
After installation is shut down the guest OS.
I want to start the VM again, but I only see a black screen no matter how long I wait.
I also cannot stop the VM anymore saying that the VM is busy.
I have to restart my entire host before I can do anything with the VM again.
I tried to reboot many times, but I cannot start the VM anymore.
Is there any way to fix this?
These are the lost lines of the vmware.log
