Hi there,

I have Ubuntu 14.04 running on older laptop with 4GB RAM. I wanted to install IE11 with command curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xdissent/ievms/master/ievms.sh | env IEVMS_VERSIONS="11" bash

and the result

Does anybody have a similar problem? Thank you.

I had the same issue, it was gone after rebooting. I guess there just wasn't enough memory available...

Sorry guys, not sure what can be done about this. Shut down any other VMs or memory hungry processes and try again.

FWIW - extracting the .ovf (and .vmdk) and then using the .ovf filename (instead of the .ova), solved this issue for me, without needing to reboot! ;)
