Trying to test out V3.02, and when I setup a VBOX VM with the ISO, it takes 10+ minutes to get to a blank bllack screen.

Using a LIVE DVD takes 10+ minutes to boot, and then stops at a tty login screen. Lots of sitting and waiting for systemd to start stuff that just keeps repeating 8 minutes+ on one step alone!

This a brand new Dell 3655 8GB RAM quad core AMD processor running Kubuntu 16.04.3

ISO MD5SUM verifies.

V3.01 will eventually boot in a VM 10+ minutes, and boot to the desktop.

VM is 2 CPU 2GB USB Enabled, 3D Enabled. Linux host, I don't speak winslobber. Runs KUbuntu 16.04.3

What messages do you see in the terminal after executing "dmesg" , "cat /var/log/syslog" , or "journalctl -xe"? My guess is that it is encountering a problem with the display driver. FWIW, the latest iso release has xorg reinstalled / cleaned up and includes the vmware driver.

Testing prioritizes hard drive and USB installation, so anyone running it in a VM should adjust settings until it "looks like bare metal".
