Ubuntu stuck on bootscreen loading forever

Post by Yukon »

It usually works just fine, I use snapshots a lot, but when I need to reboot it gets stuck on the loading screen with the dots animation and purple background. I'm kinda new to this so it might be a simple error.

Tried with both 3D acceleration on/off, enabling/disabling PAE/NX, Paravirtualization Interface is set to default, added 1/2 processors. Commands like Esc or ctrl+alt+f1/f2 don't seem to do anything either. Logs attached.

Anyone have any idea why it does that? Thanks in advance

Your log starts with a "resume" from a saved state and ends half-way, while the VM is still running. We need to see a complete VBox.log, from a complete VM run, where the problem occurs:
  • Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Observe problem / Shutdown the VM (force close it if you have to).
  • With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
  • Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response. See the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form.
