I have been running ubuntu on Vmware for sometime now but recently started getting an error when I boot and I am unable to proceed any further.
I receive a black screen with the following message:
cpufreq_online: failed to initialize policy for cpu: 0 (-19)
[sda] Assuming drive cache: write through
/dev/sda1: clean, 313076/1900544 files, 1786227/7601920 blocks
Nothing was changed within the VM prior to this happening.
So I was able to solve this issue simply by Disabling "Accelerate 3d graphics" under the display settings.
I read somewhere that someone has a similar error regarding the cpu and they were able to solve it in this manner.
