Thank you! I had already done this process but couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t connect to the internet. I didn’t select bridge for network adapters during installation! Odly enough I took a nap and woke up to your video as a recommendation since I had been searching for a fix, thank

Just finished with my installation, it was a success after 2 tries, unfortunately, the laptop started working slowly, got froze for like 20 min, after that it took 15 min to close the VMware. Thank you so much, Sir David, I tried. I Will look if I can upgrade my laptop.

Hello Mr. David, that was a really great explanation and thank you for the video !

[patrickimoh]

Very informative... Fortunately, I have had an Ubuntu 18.04 LTS running on VMWare Workstation Pro, which I recently upgraded to 20.04 LTS. I used the video in helping to validate and remind me of some knowledge... Thanks David...

Great video tutorial as usual. Thanks Dave for the great job you are doing.

This is so on point. Thanks a lot! I'm gonna link this video in my documentation of getting my system up and running if you don't mind. It's very unofficial and only to be circulated amongst my colleagues.

[Dorso]

Nice work! Thanks for the walk-through, David!

[bertaldihno]

Thank you, David! A quick question, if you don't mind! Would installing Ubuntu and other operating systems on hypervisors such as VMWare be sufficient to write about in a CV in your opinion?

Thanks in advance!

I selected bridged connection but internet was not getting connected later I changed to NAT everything worked. Why it is so? What is the difference between two and which one is good?
