The workaround is to remove " xserver-xorg-video-vmware”.

Modifying the VM to boot to the CLI didn’t work – the same issue was exhibited. In some circumstances the VM machine “window” repeatedly resizes larger, then smaller. On booting the VM on the Atom x86 latop, the guest OS “finishes” the boot process and then displays a black screen. This laptop was running VMWare Player 3.x (as it had no hardware virt support – V3.x was the last to run on hardware which did not support hardware assisted virtualisation). This VM was then transferred to a Intel Atom based x86 laptop. This was installed on a VMWare Player 12.5.x hypervisor with 32 bit flag set in the VM config file so as to install for x86 architecture (the host was a 圆4 bit machine).Īll was fine and dandy – the Guest OS booted and worked fine. Version: Raspberry Pi desktop/PIXEL-rpd-x86-stretch This is not a request for help as such, more of a fudged workaround. force will forcefully modify the master boot record.Īfter executing the command, you will get the successfully updated boot information message.Īfter this, you may restart the computer and it should work fine without being stuck on the black screen.Workaround for: “ After install Pi Desktop for PC, only black/blank screen is available”. If you have multiple Operating Systems installed on the same hard drive, then you may use the sys switch instead of all which will fix the System drive only.

So this command will fix boot sector records for all the mentioned Operating Systems.įor previous Operating Systems like Windows XP and Windows 2000, you may use /nt52 switch.Īll means that the boot sector should be fixed on all the available drives. nt60 is the master boot code for Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 Operating Systems. Here is the command you will need to execute in order to fix the boot sector. But if you want to do it manually, you should select the Command Prompt option.īootsect is the command to fix boot sector problems in Windows. Here you may select the Startup Repair option to let Windows automatically fix the startup problem. The next screen will let you choose the recovery tool of your choice.
