Hi
Chris,
I have sonar running sonar mate on vmware fusion. Here is what I did
and maybe this wiklll work for you. When you tell vm what os you are
running, select windows 10 either 634 bit or just windows 10. After
doiung thism, you should boot just fine once you boot up, make sure you
select the icon on the desk top that say install manjaro linux and
follow the prompts.
The first couple of screens, you will wnt tto use flat review as tabing
will change the langwage. Matthew

I'm making this a separate thread, as this really has nothing to do
with my other problem I was having.
Has anyone had success with the most up to date version of Sonar GNU
Linux getting it installed within VMWare Fusion? I can't put it on my
Windows machine, as it's a live mission critical work system, and so I
can't chance botching up that PC in any way. This is why I bought
Fusion. Whereas most people wanna get Fusion so they can run Windows,
I actually wanted it so I can test different builds of Linux.
Anyway, being that Sonar is not really a distro in and of itself, I
mean, it is, but not really. The kernel is based off Manjaro Linux.
I got the ISO, and then in Fusion, I told it to install another OS
from an image, then browsed to the ISO. This worked just fine. When
it asked me what OS I was using, I went to the browser, and to Linux.
I didn't see Manjaro in there, so I therefore went to Other. Under
other, I had two options: other, or Other 64 bit. I've tried both.
Once I do this, save the VM, then it starts to boot, the image boots
just fine, I get the first little menu where you just wait, and
eventually the Sonar image will load, and Orca comes up speaking the
installer. Unfortunately, at this point, that isn't happenning. Once
the menu goes away, it's hanging and going no further. I sat here for
almost an hour and a half waiting for the dad blame thing to load, and
it won't.
I'm quite sure someone! out there has got! to have tried getting this
to work on Fusion aside from me. I just need to know the necessary
steps to get Fusion to fully load the thing, and let me install it
without it hanging.
Being this is the MacVisionaries list, do realize up front that I'm
not asking for you all to tell me how to install Linux once I get into
the installer. Now, off list, if you all wanna give me a hand, then by
all means, I will take all the help I can get with this, and will do
so very gratefully, but on list, to keep this on topic, all I'm asking
is, how do I set Fusion in general, and how do I configure the VM
individually so that it will let the Sonar installation succeed.
According to About this Mac, this is OSX 10.11.4, and is a Mac Mini,
Late 2012, 2.5GHZ Intel I5, 8GB ram, 500GB hard disk with 199.38GB
available. No weird partitions, no Bootcamp, nothing. I don't even
think I have the recovery partition. I think a while back when
restoring from a Carbon Copy Cloner backup, I accidentally blew it up.
Whoops?
I'm using the USB full sized white aluminum Apple keyboard which
includes the numeric keypad. This is not the USB and bluetooth Magic
keyboard. This doesn't do bluetooth. It's literally just the standard
Apple full sized USB only version.
Anyway, so, there's the hardware.
I'm totally at a loss.
Any idea?
Chris.
