Curious boot-logo behaviour - Linux Mint 18

[mingle]

Hi Guys,

While using a Linux (Mint 18.0 64-bit xfce) guest on VB 5.1.8 under Windows 10 (64-bit) I've noticed slightly strange behaviour
with the boot screen/logo as the Linux Mint guest system starts up and shuts down.

When the VM system starts, the usual Linux Mint graphical logo is nots displayed, instead a 'text' mode boot-screen appears (see the attached screenshot(s).

However, when I shuts down my Linux guest, I get the usual graphical logo.

Any idea why this would be happening?

Cheers,

Mike.

Try to boot with the same OS in a physical computer. If the results are any different, please let me know.

On a 'real' machine (actually the same hardware I'm running the VM under) the logo displays correctly on boot and shutdown.

I posted the same question over on the Linux Mint forum and someone replied that this has been an issue since LM 17.x:

Interesting that there is a differentiation in a VM. I'll quote their answer:

This is not dependent from the version of VB. The Mint logo does not display since Mint 18 in a VM, in Mint 17.x it does.
