I downloaded saucy-desktop-i386 (at about 13:00 UTC today, the web page on your link says : saucy-desktop-i386.iso 10-Aug-2013 08:19 878M
I used VMware Player 5.0.2 build-1031769 on Windows 8 Pro 64 bit. After booting the ISO I got this screen: attachment first_screen.png I can not continue, as every screen is like that (went one further) and half of it is not visible, including the Next button, I would have to "navigate blind". Also (later), with the blue circle icon menu at the "top" I turned on High Contrast mode, but then there is no way to turn it off. ** Attachment added: "first_screen.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1077440/+attachment/3767057/+files/first_screen.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1077440 Title: [VMWare Player 5.0.1] Quantal as guest hangs at end of install Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Installing Ubuntu 12.10 Desktop i386 (ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso) in VMware player hangs at the end of installation.
