Description
Greetings,
I've been trying to make this work on an installation of Ubuntu 20.10 and I've been running into an issue and I have no idea how to even diagnose it, let alone do something about it.
I followed the instructions to the letter, and initially it worked - I did everything, ran the script, and those Windows programs that I needed appeared, and I even opened Word. I however closed the VM in order to try the improve performance trick, but after I did that and I restarted it and tried to open Word, it crashed, taking the entire system down with it, and ending with a "System can not recover, please log out" prompt.
I naturally assumed that I had done something wrong in editing the VM so I copy pasted the original code, but it would still crash. I uninstalled everything using ./installer.sh --user --uninstall, but at running bin/winapps check again, it once again crashed. It gives me some sort of an error, but since the system crashes I can't see it properly.
I assumed that there was something done with my user credentials, since I had connected with a Microsoft account, but no matter what combination of username and password I use, it either gives me a connection error and it doesn't crash, or it gives me an error that I don't see and it crashes.
Is there any way I could actually see what is going on? Thank you very much.
