[Bug 1077440] Re: [VMWare Player 5.0.x] Quantal+ as guest hangs at end of install

 

I tried the todays daily * and it seems OK, with one thing (which I experienced before too):
when after installation the reboot is done, the shutdown scripts is waiting for a press of ENTER key, but the text saying so is not visible (see screenshot).
So it hangs there until I press ENTER.
After that it reboots into the installed Ubuntu system.

I guess the original bug is solved (it was a bit sporadic and frankly I
have no will to pursue this further).
