[Another Software Engineer]

After installing VB and its extensions for Windows 10 Pro, I downloaded Ubuntu 18.04 Desktop ISO file and mounted it on the created VDI. Box loads but does not install Ubuntu and stays on a black screen with 2 small icons at the bottom and never loads! deleted and uninstalled everything and downloaded and reinstalled everything waited for 2 hours, still same. VirtualBox 6, Windows 10 Pro, Ubuntu 18.04 Desktop

1. It's usually better and faster, if issues get first addressed in the  VirtualBox forums, a lot more eyes there. More than 95% of the issues are resolved in the forums, which keeps the developers focusing on the bug fixes and enhancements, and there is no need for another ticket to keep track of. For example, yours is most probably not a bug and someone from the developers has to deal with it and close it as "Invalid".

Plus a discussion and analysis on the bug tracker is going to help you, me, and potentially a future drive-by user or two. Not so in the forums, many more tend to benefit...

So, if you can, please open a new thread in the  Linux Guests section of the forums. Please be sure to mention that you came from the bug tracker and include the ticket number.

2. You were supposed to follow these steps when you filed the bug, and provide a VBox.log:

   Attach a (full) log file ("Machine" menu/"Show Log" in the main VirtualBox Manager window) straight away to save time for you and for us. The log file contains a lot of useful information about both the host and the guest systems as well as information about what happened during a particular machine run. Please do not cut and paste it.

Closing as invalid as the provided screenshots indicate that the system booted from the CD/DVD drive and is waiting for input in the bootloader.
