With that it reboots into the command-line interface, but then it gets stuck there and I cannot type anything as explained above, including the screen capture "StuckAtTextCommandConsole.pdf" (above).
BTW, this is the Terminal text:
And then I pressed the carriage return.
Sorry for my ignorance and thanks for your help!
WELL, it is even worse. Now, every time that I reboot or shut down and boot the VM, it gets stuck on such command-line screen, and I cannot get out of it. What to do? Please, help! Thanks!
UPDATE. This is amazing. If in the stuck command-line console I type exit (I see nothing written there) and press the carriage return, it boots after a few seconds into the VM Desktop. But every time that I reboot, the same happens. How to avoid booting into such command-line console each time? Thanks.
