[SOLVED] Fedora 27 Installation Stalling Problem

harley51 · 01-22-2018, 10:32 PM

I have Windows 10 1709 Build 16299.192. I'm trying to install Fedora 27 in Oracle VM 5.2.6. Everything goes well until it stalls at installing software 100%. Any help here. As I discovered that KDE loads fine only Workstation doesn't.

Were you able to check the integrity of the .iso file?

If Workstation continues to hang try Fedora Server.

Is this a desktop or laptop? 32-bit or 64-bit?

Desktop using Oracle VM 64 Bit

Did the .iso file check out ok?

ISO checked out fine. Server loaded fine. Workstation only installs in basic graphics mode. Now I can not get it to go to full screen mode.

Sounds like the 3D graphics acceleration issue. Try turning the 3D graphics off or on and see if that helps.
Also, go into the BIOS and see if your graphics card is enabled or disabled as far as acceleration is concerned.
Look in your VBox Settings> Display.

In addition, you need to install guest additions in order to go to full screen.

Go to the VirtualBox options while in your VM (the same place you went to to install Guest Additions) and select View -> Auto-resize Guest Display . This should automatically set your VM's resolution to the proper screen size.
If that doesn't help try this link.

Fedora 27 Workstation install stalling at 100% loading fix. Fedora 27 Workstation would not install unless I added nomodeset to the grub2 boot loader at startup. Once it was installed and I tried to load Oracle guest additions it would not go to full screen. After installing Oracle Guest Additions I edited the /boot/grub2/grub config and removed nomodeset from the grub boot line and problem solved.

If everything is working you can mark the thread as solved via the thread tools pull down menu at the top of the page.

Glad to hear you got it working.
