Did you change any of the NVIDIA driver settings from their defaults?

No, default settings for everything.

What NVIDIA chip do you have?

Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 (ASUS GTX760 DirectCU II OC)

Delete the existing virtual hard disk and create a new one and be sure to specify the SATA controller.

Your CPU is "Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5472  @ 3.00GHz (family: 0x6, model: 0x17, stepping: 0x6)" which I wouldn't think would be a problem.

Did you change any of the NVIDIA driver settings from their defaults? What NVIDIA chip do you have?

Tiny Core on Virtual Machines / Re: Can't start Xorg after installing open-vm-tools-desktop: "Illegal instruction"

« Last post by denbkh on Today at 03:44:12 AM »

After it crashes, if you type startx at the console prompt does it work or crash again?

Yes, it crashes with the same error.

Have you tried 64-bit TinyCore?

Yes. It crashes with the same "Illegal instruction" error, but with 64-bit address.

Maybe some AV is doing something?

I tried to boot VM with disabled AV(Kaspersky free 18.0.0.405(g)) - got the same error.

Please check the log files with strace for both x64 and x86 VMs.

@andyj

thanks for this - I hope to try it out over the week-end, as family reasons will make it difficult to do before.

I will keep you informed.

After it crashes, if you type startx at the console prompt does it work or crash again? Have you tried 64-bit TinyCore? For strace, load the strace extension and try:

Code: [Select]

strace -D -f -s 254 -o strace-x.log startx
Maybe some AV is doing something? I've tried every combination of settings in VM Player I can find and I can't reproduce the problem. It works in spite of everything I do to try to break it.

Did you upgrade VM Player from a previous version, or was it a clean install?

clean install

When X crashes at startup does it fall back to a console prompt?

yes, see the screenshot https://yadi.sk/i/HEQpTH8f3UYdwF

If so, maybe you could use strace with startx to get some more info?

could you please provide the full command?

How do you know that Ubuntu is using 3D and not software?

$ glxinfo | grep "direct rendering"
direct rendering: Yes

I have attached the logs from LUbuntu if they can help.
