nuxeo-dm virtual machine is loading halfway in vmplayer 3.14

[isfand_]

hi,

I have downloaded nuxeo-dm virtual machine for vmware/player. when i play it ; after initial ubuntu console (non-GUI) a blue screen appears mentioning something like "Network is not up (or not initializing) .. waiting". This screen shows only 2 button "Forced (network) refresh" and "Shutdown". The only other option it gives is of ALT+f1 to go back to ubuntu console.

My network card is working fine with Linux Mint 10 (Julia) which is also ubuntu based. Other VM guest like windows also have no problem.

Can anybody please tell how to fix. Waiting for your kind response.

Regards

The VM is set up to request an address through DHCP, the progress thing you are seeing is checking whether it can see an IP address on eth0.

One possible reason you could see this behaviour is if your VMWare Player is set up with bridge networking but your network link doesn't provide DHCP, in which case the VM won't get an address. In that case you can try to switch the network card settings (in VMWare Player, not inside the VM) to DHCP or Host Only.

That's the normal state, it indicates the server is running in your VM, you should now connect to it using your own browser.

Thanks for your input

Yes, in the host OS, the VM is only intended as a server.
