Missing Fonts/Glyphs upon boot.
Posted: 19. Feb 2021, 14:27
Guest: Linux - Debian (64-bit).
Host: Windows 10 Pro
It was working fine for weeks, but today when I boot the guest it start up fine at first and then gets to this login screen with some fonts seemingly missing:
The date/time seems fine for some reason though which seems a bit odd.
I try to type in the username and password to login as normal, but it doesn't work. It tries to login -- the submit button is registered and it behaves as if it's trying to authenticate -- but it just comes back to the same screen. I would assume whatever keyboard characters I'm typing in just aren't getting passed in correctly so the auth fails.
I've tried the steps as mentioned here:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=101816&p=494406&hilit=debian#p494411
and
viewtopic.php?f=25&t=99390
(sorry can't clickable post URLs yet as per forum rules)
(Mod edit - these links refer to disabling Hyper-V)
And I am now in a state where the turtle virtualization icon is gone from the status bar and in it's place is the usual virtualization icon (V) is in it's place. But that does not seem to have fixed the issues. Still seeing the character placeholder rectangles.
Any advice on next steps to get things back to normal would be appreciated!
One other possibly useful piece of info: Lenovo (X1 Carbon 7th gen) also recently pushed a new BIOS update and I believe the VirtualBox issue started happening after that update. I can't recall precisely if the VM worked normally after that BIOS update or not. But thought perhaps it was worth mentioning.
