I just tried enabling nomodeset and it didn't seem to do anything. I'm still running into the same problem.

I can access the grub menu on startup but when I pick failsafeX I get a popup saying "The system is running in low-graphics mode". It says my screen, graphics card, and input device settings couldn't be detected and I had to configure it myself. Hitting OK takes me to a screen with four options...

Looks like VirtualBox works (at least for now). I'm a little wary since VMware Player worked at first too but at least I have a working Ubuntu vm. Thanks for the recommendation John.

Welp, it looks like I'm just gonna have to spin up a different vm. I haven't successfully booted it this entire week so I haven't been able to try any of the suggestions I've gotten and given John's post I don't think my luck will improve. Luckily, starting over shouldn't be too bad. I made...

I'm considering trying the older VMware Player but my one concern is that it would affect my vm in some way. I do have some work on there and I'd rather not have to do everything from scratch. Do you know if downgrading to an older version will maintain my vm as is or will there be some affect...

So I managed to find the log file. Problem is, I couldn't find anything in there about any errors. Here's the link to a copy I'm storing in Google Drive:https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw-AiT2ThDgIZERfeW1qMEQzbUk/view?usp=sharing

I think checking out vmware.log might be a necessity because I'm not having much luck booting it up. Do you know where the root folder of the vm is? I actually have no idea where it's supposed to be.

Thanks for the help, Ketchup. I just tried rebooting it and it stopped at the same spot. Interestingly enough, "Starting Restore Sound Card State" failed this time although I'm not sure it necessarily has anything to do with my current problem. I'll probably just reboot it again later to see...

Sometimes when I try to boot up my guest Ubuntu OS, it'll freeze at this point: It doesn't happen all the time maybe something like 50% of the time. I'm wondering why it's happening though. The host OS is Windows 7. I'm pretty new to this so I probably don't know all the details I'm...
