Ubuntu 14.04 guest breaks after installation of guest-additions

Post by rdevans »

Whenever I install the guest-additions, after a reboot the system breaks after logging in.
I get to the ubuntu login screen, enter my password, and the remainder of the GUI never loads.

Virtualbox Version: 6.1
Host OS: Ubuntu 20.04 64bit
Guest OS: Ubuntu 14.04.6 32bit
Guest kernel: 4.4.0-142-generic

Any suggestions as to how to fix this?
