Debian XFCE Guest - not booting

Post by bwdavis »

Hi

I have an issue like this with a previously working 64 bit Ubuntu Mate guest vm on a Windows 10 host. I'm not able to get to a command line in the VM, but it boots up, and responds to the ACPI Shutdown Signal OK. This guest machine was working fine prior to the upgrade attempt. The bottom of the Mint GUI is visible on the 800x600 scaled display and seizes keyboard input from the host over and over, if you host+f to go fullscreen, you get a blank screen, and the log shows this over and over:

00:15:09.990196 GUI: UIMachineLogic: Guest-screen count changed
00:15:12.604431 Display::i_handleDisplayResize: uScreenId=0 pvVRAM=0000000000000000 w=800 h=600 bpp=0 cbLine=0x0 flags=0x2 origin=0,0
00:15:12.605722 Display::i_handleDisplayResize: uScreenId=0 pvVRAM=000000000e890000 w=800 h=600 bpp=32 cbLine=0xC80 flags=0x1 origin=0,0

Host is Win10 32GB Version 6.1.18 r142142 (Qt5.6.2)

Guest is 64-bit Ubuntu 4GB RAM 2 CPUS

From the log during the boot:

00:01:38.146617 GUI: UISession::sltAdditionsChange: GA state really changed, notifying listeners
00:01:38.146631 GUI: UIMachineLogicFullscreen: Additions-state actual-change event, rebuild multi-screen layout

This is the first appearance of the loop message above:

Thanks for any insight, I have the complete log if it will help, let me know.
