I'm trying to install Bionic Beaver 18.04 LTS in VMware Workstation 14. The host is Windows 10 Enterprise v1709 64-bit.



I downloaded the ISO from release.ubuntu.com and I used tools to check the checksums to ensure that the file was downloaded correctly. Then I opened VMware and created a new virtual machine.



In VMware, I selected "Typical (recommended)", then "I will install the operating system later" (I don't want Easy Install this time, but it's the same - it still blackscreens), then went through a few steps as usual. I set VMware to store the virtual disk as a single file and set it to 32 GB.



After creating the VM, I increased the memory to 4 GB (VMware defaults it to 1 GB after detecting Ubuntu 64-bit) and processor core count to 4 (VMware defaults it to 1), deleted the printer and inserted the ISO file as "CD/DVD". I left all other settings as their defaults. Then I started the VM.



It went through a few screens that are familiar to me, and nothing showed up after hearing the familiar "drum" sound. I only have a mouse that I can move in and out of VMware.



Any help?

Which professions warranted travel in Medieval times?

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 54 down vote favorite 15 I'm trying to come up with characters whose backgrounds allow them to have homes, histories, and skills, but will still enable or encourage them to travel in a typical medieval setting. I've never really liked "Adventurer" as a job, and would like my story to have a kind of unlikely-hero vibe. besides the common "Traveling merchant", what kinds of artisans or professionals in fantasy would have a reason to move around the world (or at least visit other settlements)? First time posting, so let me know what to improve. Thanks! EDIT: When I say traveling, I was thinking someone who spends multiple days/weeks/months away from their place of origin as they go elsewhere for their business, or to gather materials for it. medieval travel share | improve this question edited Aug 1 at 15:16 asked Aug 1 at 15:07 Julia Witham 279 2 7 11 Please ...

How do so many people here on Academia.SE, and in general, afford lavish higher education programs?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 45 down vote favorite 7 I graduated last year with a BS in Computer Science. I do not come from a particularly wealthy family, (very low middle class), and was only able to afford my education via school loans/scholarships and working low-wage jobs, with no support from my family or anyone else. I realize some scholarship/loan programs extend into grad school. But I don't think those cover all costs. Now I'm lucky enough to have a decent-paying salary in industry, along with benefits and living on my own, and I'm thinking one day (sooner rather than later) I'd like to try my hand at research or continue my degree, but these things cost money, in addition to my regular living expenses. I read posts here often about academic people being in positions of choosing between these crazy research grad programs, some in Japan, or Ireland (while they currently live in the U.S./U.K.) then moving around between countries/universit...
