In a typical desperation reaction I clicked on the snapshot button without knowing what will happen. And I got the system booting in the graphic mode! I always thought that a snapshot is a way to going back to a state that was saved in the past, which is not my case, I don't remember ever saving any particular state. Just for my own enlightenment I would like to know how this could happen.

Hey folks - thank you very much for your time

Snapshots can not happen unless they are made to. Sometime you must have taken one or it would not be there.

Is it possible that VM takes a snapshot automatically from a "good" state? Actually is OK, one way or the other my issue seems to be solved.

Thanks again

No, absolutely not. Taking a Snapshot is a user-initiated action.

I think I know what happened. I see that clicking on the box where my name is (top right), I get the different actions: log out, shutdown, etc. Clicking on log out I see that right below there is a box that was checked, probably since the installation that says "Save session for future logins".
