Debian guest black screen
I am running Vbox 6.0.10 on Windows 10 and I have a Debian guest that boots up to a black screen but while it boots up the screen changes from full screen to small screen several times.

Re: Debian guest black screen
I'm surprised the VM boots at all with this gross resource conflict. Free up host RAM, and you'll need to drastically reduce that guest RAM assignment.00:00:02.742566 Host RAM: 8076MB (7.8GB) total, 2767MB (2.7GB) available
...
00:00:03.258316 RamSize <integer> = 0x0000000100000000 (4 294 967 296, 4 096 MB, 4.0 GB)
00:00:03.258605 VRamSize <integer> = 0x0000000008000000 (134 217 728, 128 MB)

Maybe you've gone a little bit overboard. You can definitely afford now 1.5 or 2 GB.00:00:00.382482 Host RAM: 8076MB (7.8GB) total, 4809MB (4.6GB) available

Increase that to 32, 64 or even max it out at 128 MB.00:00:01.255662 VRamSize <integer> = 0x0000000001000000 (16 777 216, 16 MB)
You should attend to this as soon as you get your "vision" back...00:00:00.328215 VirtualBox VM 6.0.10 r132072 win.amd64 (Jul 12 2019 09:34:54) release log 00:00:16.503044 VMMDev: Guest Additions information report: Version 5.2.22 r126460 '5.2.22'
Why is there only a disk002.vmdk there? Was there a disk001.vmdk?00:00:01.577098 AIOMgr: C:\Users\123917\VirtualBox VMs\parrot-security\parrot-security-disk002.vmdk
