Title: 17.10 Black screen pre and post login on virtualbox Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: New Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I have been testing the daily builds from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/HEADER.html on virtualbox (https://www.virtualbox.org/) in a windows host. I originally installed it a few weeks ago, and would do an apt update and apt upgrade every day to get the latest changes. Then when I did an upgrade about a week ago, I ran into these issues. I tried downloading the new image every day since (although it looks like that image has not changed in the past week or so anyhow), and it installs fine, I can log in fine, but once I do the apt update and reboot, I get a black screen where I should see the login. Steps I made to replicate (can someone else verify the same thing happens?): - Install virtual box 5.1.28 - Create a new vm (4GB ram, 10GB hdd) - Insert and install the image daily 17.10 image (from link above) - Boot to login screen, log in and load to desktop - Do a sudo apt update and a sudo apt upgrade - At this point it sometimes comes up with the prompt to reboot, either way, reboot - You will find a black screen when you should see the login screen (if you move your mouse over or click you can see random white pixels around) - Before moving the mouse or pressing any keys, press enter, enter password, press enter again (as you would do normally to log in) - For a second the console screen (sometimes purple background, sometimes black background) shows some feedback - Once booted into desktop, all is black again (with random white pixels sometimes) I do not have a PC available at the moment to test on, and haven't had a chance to test in a vm with a Ubuntu host (or any other host). Ubuntu 16.04 has been working in another vm on the same machine for ages, and 17.10 was working until recently.
