/casper/vmlinuz.efi: not found

is the error that is shown when i tried to start ubuntu for using vmware by downloading an .iso file for Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS. What should I do now ?

Also , when I searched for the vmlinuz file, I did find it on my computer . However, there was no folder such as casper. Instead , it was under the directory : C:\Users\Lenovo\Documents\Virtual Machines\Ubuntu 64-bit\boot\isolinux

Best Answer

  1. create new Virtual Drive.
  2. Loop that drive: losetup -f new_hard_disk_4_Vmware.vmdk
  3. dd if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/loop(x)
  4. losetup -d... or better still, gnome-disks -> detach with the button.
  5. Mount new VMDK as drive 2

That or loop the ISO into fuse, and ride it as mounted by the os. as a CD-Rom
