Hello,
I've installed Oracle VM VirtualBox and downloaded Cloudera quickstart 5.8.0-0. I'm still not able to lauch the VM desktop. I'm stuck at the blackscreen after the loading bar is down (see image below)
I've enable virtualization in BIOS, and tried different set up (Windows and Red Hat) but still it won't start.
Any clue would be much appreciated!
VM Config:
Window 7 (64 bit) (I've try Red Hat as well, same issue)
Memory: 8192 Mo
CPU: 2
My Desktop is 16 ram and CPU is Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3550 3.30 GHz
Let me know if you need more information
Thanks in advance,
Mathieu
PS: Sorry, can't figure how to post an image.

Hi, me again !
So I've start again:
1. Redownloaded Quickstart VM using a download manager (chrono)
2. Used 7-zip to extract
Seem to work now 🙂
Thanks for your help Cjervis 😄

Did you follow our community article on setting up a QuickStart VM? It has some common issues listed in it that may come into play here.
Also to post an image click on the camera image in the editor which opens up a screen allowing you to upload an image or add one by URL.

Thanks for the quick reply,
I did follow the setup procedure (i think). I just tried changing chipset to ICH9 but still nothing.
Maybe worth mentionning, at first VM was not loading at all, had this error:
UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
(i.e., without -a or -p options)
*** An error occurred during the file system check.
*** Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot
*** when you leave the shell.
Give root password for maintenance
(or type CTRL-D to continue)
and ran: 'fsck -f -c -y'
Now it's loading but stuck here (thanks for the tip to copy image :D)
thanks
Mathieu

To be sure did you follow this specific part of the article to create the VM or did you do it manually?
Using the specific documentation and instructions provided by your hypervisor application, open the extracted file into that hypervisor application.
I will also point out the following as a corrupted file could also be to blame:
IMPORTANT: As recommended on the download page, we HIGHLY recommend that you install a “Download Manager” extension to your web browser and utilize that to manage the download of the Quickstart VM as it is a VERY large file and can easily get corrupted during download due to connectivity issues. A download manager add-on will assist you in getting a clean download and save you time and spare the frustration.

Hello,
Yes I've imported the .ovf file using VirtualBox.
However i did NOT use a Download Manager.
It looked like it downloaded properly tough. I will try redownloading it using a download manager as suggested. I'll keep you posted on the result.
Thanks,
Mathieu

Hi,
I am having the same problem, and can't get passed the black screen.
Anything else I should be doing?
Thanks for any help

Did you follow our community article on setting up a QuickStart VM? Also, can you explain more about the VM, host system and the resources of each?

Have you enabled virtualization as outlined in the common issues listed on the article I linked to?
We suggest in the article to use the following method to install the VM for VirtualBox if you haven't done so already.
"For example, if you elected to use VirtualBox, you would have downloaded and extracted a *.ovf file from Cloudera. Use the “File -> Import Appliance” menu inside VirtualBox to open your downloaded *.ovf file, or simply double-click on the file itself and VirtualBox should handle it from there."
It is also important to know the resources (processors, RAM, disk) of the system you are creating the VM on as well as how much of those resources are allocated to the VM. It is a common error to assign to many or too little of the resources to the VM which can cause issues.

The Mac shouldn't have the issue but just to be sure you can go to the terminal application and enter
sysctl -a | grep machdep.cpu.features
If VMX is listed in the results virtualization is indeed enabled.
Can you share the specs on the Mac in terms of processors, RAM and Disk space as well as what was allocated to the VM?

From the community knowledge article on how to setup the quickstart vm:
4. Some users have reported problems running CentOS 6.4 in VirtualBox. If a kernel panic occurs while the VirtualBox VM is booting, you can try working around this problem by opening the Settings > System > Motherboard tab, and selecting ICH9 instead of PIIX3 for the chip set. If you have not already done so, you must also enable I/O APIC on the same tab.
