VMWare black screen after installing all updates with Fedora Linux

So I’m trying to play around with Fedora in a VM with VMWare Workstation Player (v17.5.1) but I’m running into a problem I don’t know how to solve. I use the Fedora 39 1.5 ISO file which is the most current version that’s available for download and after installing it in the VM everything works fine. I setup the install...

badamsz,

Just be careful if you download this from a corp internet address, which someone did on our guest network. Oracle sent us an an invoice for $5000 and pestered us about it for about a year of us ignoring them. We now block Oracle sites and I try to avoid Oracle products like the plague.

badamsz,

That was my impression as well but as far as we could tell, only the “free” product was downloaded and their sales folks essentially accused us of lying about using it for corporate use. We referred them to the lawyers. Due to this and Java licencing jumping up dramatically again for a bare handful of actual users we have since ended all of our support agreements and banned use of Oracle products. They are too great a financial threat to the business.

VMWare by Broadcom is going to be… interesting…

badamsz,

2000/2000 Mbit fiber without a cap for $95/mo. in Maine, US.

This does feel a bit surreal though as prior to this my options were 3/.5 Mbit DSL for $75/mo. (bonding wasn’t an option, no plans by ISP to upgrade), then 25/10 Mbit fixed wireless for $95 /mo. from a local provider (which worked when it felt like it and then was undergoing “maintenance” for weeks at a time making it unusable), then paying Spectrum a $5500+ ransom to run Cable down my driveway and then ultimately pay $115/mo. for 300/20 Mbit. Spectrum didn’t have a cap due to the Charter -> TWC acquisition consent decree but I’m sure it was coming after that expired.

When fiber came to town everything else suddenly got cheaper but screw them, they kept raising the rates and fees when there wasn’t any meaningful competition. Fidium didn’t even charge me an install fee and I’m not under a contract. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

badamsz,

Yeah, my core network is 10 Gig and I have my desktop computers connected at either 10 or 2.5 Gig. So that’s full speed. Wireless is limited to just 1 gig for the most part. I do have 1x 6e access point which my couple of compatible devices can use and get faster than gig downloads.

It was nice during the initial rollout before they had QoS set up. I was getting over 4 Gbit symmetric but that didn’t last for too long.
