Symptoms
User interface initialization failed with error "Exiting. Check the log for details. ImportError: libncursesw.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".
Cause
This issue is caused because Fedora 28 ships with a new library libncursesw.so.6.0 which currently is not built into VMRC. We will have to install ncurses-compat-libs on Fedora 28 to get the libncursesw.so.5 library.
Resolution
To resolve this issue, open the terminal and run the command,
sudo dnf install ncurses-compat-libs
