| Reported by: | RandomDude | Owned by: | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Component: | guest additions/x11/graphics | Version: | VirtualBox 6.0.14 |
| Keywords: | ubuntu | Cc: | |
| Guest type: | Linux | Host type: | Windows |
Description
All pre-requisites are installed.Installation gets to the point of generating the boot images and goes to blank screen. Rebooting does not help and the condition is only recoverable if you go into recovery mode and remove the virtual box guest additions. Repeated the process on Ubuntu 18.04 and 19.10 same result. The end result is a machine that cannot be interacted with graphically.

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