I have a Fedora virtual machine running on VMware Fusion where VMware
Fusion is running on my work MacBook Pro.
I believe my problem is not related to VMware Fusion or the fact that I
am running Fedora as a VM. Here is my issue:
It's definitely a factor.
i) I upgraded my vm from Fedora 38 to Fedora 40 using the DNF
System Plugin method
ii) The upgrade was normal, and all packages downloaded, I
rebooted, and the new Fedora 40 packages installed without complaint.
iii) After the upgrade and rebooting into Fedora 40, I get the
following error dialog after typing in my encrypted disk password.
“The VMware Tools power-on script did not run successfully in this
virtual machine”
iv) If I press “Ok” to the message dialog the machine just hangs on
the black Fedora logo screen. No mouse, no keyboard.
Since you say it's a message dialog, I assume that's a message from the
vmware host.
I can boot into my old Fedora 38 rescue partition from the boot menu.
I can get to a shell. If I attempt any file operation, I get the
message “No space left on device”
What file operations on what directory? Can you see the files?
If I run a df -h command none of my disks indicate more than 65% usage.
What does "mount" show?
Any thoughts on steps to troubleshoot?
I do have some data on this VM that I need, and I neglected to back up
the VM or take a snapshot before I did the upgrade. Since this is a
work computer, USB thumb drives are prohibited and are disabled from
functioning. I am stuck.
You can try adding "single" to the kernel command line in grub. That
should get you a console login prompt.
