<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Today I installed VmWare on a Windows 7 machine
with 8GB of RAM.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I created a machine that boots Ubuntu 16.4.3 from
the ISO.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>It did not take long, and I heard the bongo sound,
like as in the log-in window.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The VmWare required me to create a user name and
password.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I made up something that satisfied the required
fields and continued to the hear the aforementioned bongo sound.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>So I tried putting in my newly created user name
and password, and I could not seemingly boot to the desktop.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I tried control + S, and I tried alt + F2 and
entering orca, and still seemingly nothing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I gave the machine 4GB RAM of the 8GB.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Maybe I did not wait long enough for it to
install?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>When that did not work, I deleted that one, and
created another, this time giving it the user name and password both of
"ubuntu".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Still, nothing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Given that the bongo sound happened, isn't it just
about installed at that point?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Thanks for any assistance.</FONT></DIV>
