Fedora 25 with KDE Plasma and VMWare Player 12 may experience compatibility issues.
Updated. No issues with Fedora Gnome. The Anaconda installer from Fedora KDE was problematic but I successfully installed it via CLI. It functions properly though it runs significantly slower than Fedora Gnome (around 2 seconds for button responses). Possibly Wayland is still unstable or not fully optimized with KDE, or the KDE spin in VMware has bugs. If you're still having trouble booting Fedora 25 Gnome (the standard workstation), consider these steps: add "selinux=0" to the Grub command line and test using Oracle VirtualBox to see if the problem persists on another VM environment.
Ensured hardware acceleration is enabled in VMWare. Could this be the reason for KDE issues?
Sure, I can help with that. Could you share the text or context you're referring to?
After the latest setup, I ran vi /etc/selinux/config and it resolved the Gnome problem. The KDE system still freezes during startup, though. Do you think SELINUX might be related?
Unlikely that seleniumu's age is the reason, and it seems AFAIK hasn't evolved enough to clarify this issue. I managed to fix it at least when it was enabled by default. The issue likely relates to KDE or Wayland. For some users, turning off 3D acceleration helped. I should have disabled it earlier.
I turned off Wayland on Gnome because it doesn't integrate well with VMware tools. Right now Fedora 25 is running smoothly, which makes the changes from making SELinux permissive worthwhile. I'm still unsure about using KDE, but disabling 3D acceleration would really slow things down, so it probably isn't a good solution. If I run `sudo dnf update`, I'll need to edit /etc/selinux/config back to set SELinux to permissive.
