Hi, I installed VMware Workstation 17 Player on my PC running Windows 10 Professional 64-bit. Then, I created an Ubuntu virtual machine using ubuntu-23.04-desktop-amd64.iso downloaded from their website. During installation, VMware asked me to enter my full name, username and password. However, after installation, I could not login. I already made sure that I typed the password correctly. Thinking that I might have keyed in something wrong during the installation process, I deleted the entire virtual machine and reinstalled Ubuntu under VMware Workstation 17 Player. Again, got the same error during login. Please let me know how to resolve this issue. Thank you.
xibo-player starts together with the OS after restarting, the design is reproduced for several hours without problems (approximately 5, 6 hours), but at certain time it stops playing and the screen is black, I have 3 players with centos 7 , 1.8 R4.
the black screen does not disappear until you close the xibo-player and open it again.
I open it again and it plays smoothly, until I repeat the fault again (black screen).
doing tests remove the videos from my design and leave only images, if I leave only images there is no problem and it reproduces OK (there is no black screen).
the videos and images are the same that I have been testing with versions R2, R3 and R4.
my version of cms is 2.1.2 installed in centos 7, the players are installed in centos 7 (both S.O were updated and reinstalled).
Any ideas that can be.
good morning.
The version I am using is the latest 1.8 R4.
the players have installed, codecs and update GStreamer packages (thinking that it could be problems when playing the videos).
since yesterday I have 3 test players, 2 with only images and they are playing without errors and the rest with only videos and showed again the error attached in the image.
I will try to update to the most recent version of cms (2.2.0), I am currently with version 2.1.2.
thanks again.
Cheers

The vlc player is such a great tool, however it is not working properly on my Ubuntu 20.4 Laptop.Specs: AMD Ryzen 7 pro 3700u w/ radeon vega mobile gfx 8 The issue:When I start the player, it is playing properly.But as soon as I close it, the icon stays at the top right corner, and there is no way to play videos with this instance.
I don't know how to proceed. It won't work on Facebook neither Chromium...From time to time it shows a yellow square with a "X" in it with following message instead of this above: "Failed to load libpepflashplayer.so".It's very annoying. How can I wipe all this players from my machine and begin from zero?
You don't need to do anything unless you are running hqplayerd under graphical desktop session. In normal headless Ubuntu Server setup, hqplayerd runs as user "hqplayer" which is created by the installation script and already belongs to "audio" group.
Ubuntu is named after the Nguni philosophy of ubuntu, "humanity to others" with a connotation of "I am what I am because of who we all are".[8] Since the release of the first version in 2004, Ubuntu has become one of the most popular Linux distributions for general purposes[28][29] and is backed by large online communities like Ask Ubuntu. Numerous community-editions of Ubuntu also exist.[30] It is also popular for cloud computing, with support for OpenStack.[31]
The system requirements vary among Ubuntu products. For the Ubuntu desktop release 22.04 LTS, a PC with at least 2 GHz dual-core processor, 4 GB of RAM and 25 GB of free disk space is recommended.[65] For less powerful computers, there are other Ubuntu distributions such as Lubuntu and Xubuntu. Ubuntu also supports the ARM architecture.[5][66][67][68][69] It is also available on Power ISA,[5][70][71][72] while older PowerPC architecture was at one point unofficially supported,[73] and now newer Power ISA CPUs (POWER8) are supported. The x86-64 ("AMD64") architecture is also officially supported.[5]
Additionally, USB flash drive installations can be used to boot Ubuntu and Kubuntu in a way that allows permanent saving of user settings and portability of the USB-installed system between physical machines (however, the computers' BIOS must support booting from USB).[77] In newer versions of Ubuntu, the Ubuntu Live USB creator can be used to install Ubuntu on a USB drive (with or without a live CD or DVD). Creating a bootable USB drive with persistence is as simple as dragging a slider to determine how much space to reserve for persistence; for this, Ubuntu employs casper.[78][79]
Some third-party software that does not limit distribution is included in Ubuntu's multiverse component. The package ubuntu-restricted-extras additionally contains software that may be legally restricted, including support for MP3 and DVD playback, Microsoft TrueType core fonts, Sun's Java runtime environment, Adobe's Flash Player plugin, many common audio/video codecs, and unrar, an unarchiver for files compressed in the RAR file format.[citation needed]
In 2004,[169] the city of Munich, Germany, started the LiMux project, and later forked Kubuntu 10.04 LTS for use on the city's computers.[170] After originally planning to migrate 12,000 desktop computers to LiMux, it was announced in December 2013 that the project had completed successfully with the migration of 14,800 out of 15,500 desktop computers,[171] but still keeping about 5,000 Windows clients for unported applications. In February 2017 the majority coalition decided, against heavy protest from the opposition,[172] to evaluate the migration back to Windows,[173] after Microsoft had decided to move its company headquarters to Munich.[174] Governing Mayor Dieter Reiter cited lack of compatibility with systems outside of the administrative sector, such as requiring a governmental mail server to send e-mails to his personal smartphone, as reasons for the return, but has been criticised for evaluating administrative IT based on private and business standards.[175] In May 2020, the recently elected Alliance 90/The Greens party and the Social Democrat party negotiated a new coalition agreement, stating: "Where it is technologically and financially possible, the city will put emphasis on open standards and free open-source licensed software".[176][177]
Yet another impressive open-source video player (technically, a video player engine). MPlayer may not offer you an intuitive user experience but it supports a wide range of output drivers and subtitle files.
As mentioned, SMPlayer uses MPlayer as the playback engine. So, it supports a wide range of file formats. In addition to all the basic features, it also lets you play YouTube videos from within the video player (by getting rid of the annoying ads).
It is a quite powerful video player capable of handling a variety of file formats and codecs. You can customize its look by using skins and enhancing the functionalities with the help of certain extensions. Other features, like subtitle synchronization, audio/video filters, etc., exist as well.
The default video player for distros with GNOME desktop environment (previously known as Totem). It supports all the major file formats and lets you snap while playing a video. Similar to some of the others, it is a very simple and useful video player. You can try it out if you want.
Clapper is a minimal video player designed with a GTK4 toolkit. It uses GStreamer for the media backend and OpenGL for rendering. While it is not a comprehensive media player like VLC, it is one of the visually pleasing applications available for Linux.
Kaffeine is an audio and video player of the KDE ecosystem. It offers several powerful features such as watching and recording digital TV. Since it is based on the libVLC framework, all media formats supported in the VLC player will be supported by kaffeine also.
Is vmware player configured the same on both laptops - are both laptops on the same physical network?
For example is the network set to bridged? In which case the vm is connected to the actual network - it should not matter which laptop it is on (only running on 1 at a time) if they are both set to bridged and on same network.
It seems that the virtual machine configuration (VMX file) had some specific or broken network configuration that worked on one machine and didn't work on the other one. You can potentially fix that by removing/re-adding the network adaptor on the old machine and trying to migrate the virtual machine once again. Make sure to use bridged configuration, so your virtual machine gets the same IP address and network configuration no matter what physical device it is running -home-lab-using-pc-part-2-vmware-workstation-player/ Opens a new window. Migrating just the virtual disk file and creating the virtual machine from scratch is also a valid and bulletproof fix for those kinds of issues.
I played with Launchpad a few hours this afternoon, and eventually created an empty PPA repository at hugo-authors/+archive/ubuntu/ppa. However, it would probably be quite a while yet before I attempt my first upload to the PPA.
In the latest 22.04 versions of Ubuntu, the username is the same as the computer name. The password is blank. On ISOs that use the Ubiquity installer (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Ubuntu Budgie, Xubuntu, and Ubuntu MATE), simply typing the username and pressing Enter will immediately log you on. For ISOs that use the Calamares installer (Lubuntu, Ubuntu Studio), you will be asked for a password - simply press Enter when that happens and you will be logged on.
