Update: Trying to boot Ubuntu, with Linux 4.15.0-50-generic instead of Ubuntu, with Linux 4.15.0-51-generic didn't help. I'm running ubuntu 18.04 in vwmare workstation 15 player (latest update).Īny ideas on how to begin debugging this? Note that I don't know if this warning existed before the update. Other than SMBus Host Controller not enabled! I don't see any other warnings. Note that the screen is unresponsive, I can't click anything on it. If I restart the machine then it displays just purple. If I resize the screen then it goes to black. The best screen I can get is displayed below.
