Black Screen on Boot After Update

Post by Sixk »

Hi,

I just updated VM Vbox to the latest and updated all the Guest Additions today.
After the update, I am having issues booting to my VM.
The VM is Mint and once I run the VM it goes to through the usual Mint boot and then it lands on a black screen with the cursor at the top left corner that blinks.
When I had the 3D Acceleration Enabled, I saw the Auto-resize Guest display option is turned on and off repeatedly.
When it was off this did not happen.
I attached a log for both.

TIA

Quick update.
I have 2 VMs
The one that is having issues, I updated the Guest Additions... the one that is working, I did not update the Guest Additions...
Could this maybe help in remedying my issue?

Another quick detail
The window size keeps changing during the black screen.
If I check the View menu, the Auto-Resize Guest Display turns on and off
...
Hope to hear from someone soon...

TIA
