I am attempting to install Fedora 18 as a virtual machine managed by VMware Player 5 on a Windows XP or Windows 7 host.
I installed previous Fedora releases with no problem, at least for the initial setup.
I install Fedora from the ISO image of the DVD, I select the language, the keyboard, the software components, ... and everything looks to work fine.
After rebooting I accept the license, I enter the user name and password for the user and I get a blue screen with falling stars (I presume it is the desktop background) but no way to enter useraname and passord or to logon or to launch any application.
What have I to do in order to logon?
Am I missing any relevant step during setup?
Should I follow any specific rule while configuring the VM?
Regards
marius
PS: I know I should install VMware Tools for better performance and user experience, but to install VMware Tools I need at least to login...
