I'm using Linux Mint 18.2 - Cennamon 64 bit.

I install PlayOnLinux via Software Manager of Linux Mint. Everything goes well until I reboot my machine. The machine fails to boot into Desktop.

I have to reinstall Mint. Trying this again leads to the same problem.

Could you check if you have the same problem? If so, is there any solution?

Hello

Can't confirm. Use 18.2 x64 on 3 machines, and installed PoL on every of them.

So sad about this, I also tried with Linux Mint v18.2 - Xfce 64 bit: the same problem for me :(

I'm running it as a virtual machine with VMware Workstation v12.5.7. Maybe the problem comes from VMWare Workstation.

I have more info to share. Hope that you guys can help me.

When I click on install button to install PlayOnLinux from Software Manager, there is a dialog saying that:

--------------------------------------------------

This will remove the following packages:

 libgles2-mesa
 libgles1-mesa
 libglapi-mesa
 udev
 libegl1-mesa
 libudev1
 libgbm1
 libwayland-egl1-mesa
 libgl1-mesa-dri
 libgl1-mesa-glx

--------------------

I guess that because of those files being removed, after robooting, my Linux Mint fails to boot into Desktop. Do you know if those files are critical for the Desktop Environment (e.g. Xfce)?
