Recently I switched to using Ubuntu as my main system, but I need WeChat for school. I also love using KuGou to listen to music while coding, but these two software are not compatible with Linux (mainly because I'm too lazy to tinker with them).
So I thought about using a virtual machine to install these software, but I ran into some problems and encountered a lot of errors. There are very few articles online about using Ubuntu and VMware to install Windows 10.
So after stepping into many pitfalls and spending a long time, I wrote this article to help everyone.
Switch to root and enter VMware#
This step is very important, the normal way won't work
1. Switch command
sudo su
2. Open VMware
sudo vmware
Start creating a virtual machine#
Note: Ubuntu's VMware does not have a Chinese version
Configuration#
1. Select custom configuration
2. Version
3. Select the path of the image
4. Virtual machine type
5. Storage path, it is recommended to create a new VMware folder to store
6. Startup method
7. Number of CPU cores and threads per core, use half of your computer's capacity
8. Memory, leave at least 4GB for Ubuntu, the main system
9. Network connection method
10. Follow the default recommendations
If the creation fails, follow the instructions in the image
11. Disk size, according to actual needs
Choose the second option below, create it as a file, without affecting performance
The third option is good for mobility but may reduce performance, depending on your actual needs
12. Next, start
If you can enter the system installation guide without any issues, then you have succeeded. If it gets stuck, see below
Stuck & Error#
Stuck at the startup screen or stuck on a certain page
Error: error: (svga) ISBRendererComm: Lost connection to mksSandbox
Open the display options
Turn off the 3D acceleration option
Solve the problem and enter the system👌, enjoy using it happily😘
