Stopping VMWare Problem

[FutureOfTech7]

Good evening.
I hope to list it in the right category.
From the moment version 21.0 & 21.0.1 came out, when I go to install it on VMWare Workstation, it stops at this point that you will see in the image below. {The last line in the image}.
If I set up another Linux VMWare works normally.
Does anyone know what could be wrong to solve this problem.?

A thousand apologies for my English.
I do translation because I do not know English.
Thank You.

Yes i have hit by same problem before i have installed manjaro on my laptop.
No idea whats wrong, but i switched to older iso release then booted normaly.

I just always want to check the latest version on the virtual machine and then do the upgrades on the normal machine,

I forgot to mention, latest iso have problems only with wmvare.

Use the search option, or use Virtualbox.

Problem installing KDE 21 in VMware

Hello, Currently I am using either Linux Mint or Ubuntu, but I would rather use Manjaro KDE. I downloaded the ISO version 21.0 from the Manjaro site. I checked the SHA-1 ISO checksums and they match what Manjaro gives as checksum But before installing it on a laptop, I would like to try it in a virtual machine, I am using VMware Workstation Pro 15.5. But I can not install it because when the system in Live starts, I arrive at a time where a message appears “A start job is running for LiveMedi…

That is entirely possible. Inside vmware player - when you setup the vm make sure you choose Other Linux kernel 5.x and later kernel 64-bit and use the latest Manjaro ISO with 5.10 kernel.

My test is using Manjaro LXDE using Linux 5.11 on unstable branch.

I have no idea why mhwd hangs at this point - as the logs shows no inconsistencies - for the sake of this topic I experimented on how to get Manjaro launched using VMware Player.

1. Launch the vmware network tool and ensure your network settings are valid.
2. When launching the Manjaro ISO - press e on the selected boot entry
3. In the editor navigate to the linux kernel line add a space and the number 3 to the end of the line - this causes the system to boot in single-user mode
4. Press F10 to boot the selection
5. When the system reaches the login prompt - login using the on screen credentials (note: also possible to login as root using the same password)
6. Launch the display system display manager
   • xfce sudo systemctl start lightdm
   • gnome sudo systemctl start gdm
   • kde sudo systemctl start sddm

I’ve had the exact same issue with Garuda and a few other Arch based distros. I haven’t been able to get any Manjaro edition to work with VMware.

I’m roughly at the upper end of noob on the scale of Linux experience or possibly barely intermediate.
I try this solution (on KDE Minimal ISO in VMware workstation 16 player) but I see no line that mentions the kernel to place the “3” after. It won’t let me upload the screenshot I took. I hit “e” to edit the boot with open source drivers option, but no mention of the kernel is in it.
