The log in comment #13 suggests Wayland was working before those error messages from the vmwgfx kernel driver... Can you check the VM isn't just booting into the wrong virtual terminal? I've seen that happen occasionally.
Try Ctrl+Alt+F1 in the VM or running: sudo chvt 1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1988488 Title: Screen freeze at the moment of login on VirtualBox: [drm:vmw_msg_ioctl [vmwgfx]] *ERROR* Failed to open channel. Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The problem started to appear 2 weeks ago after one of my daily updates. It also happens after I re-install the system from a freshly downloaded ISO file. The system freezes at the moment, it starts the gnome display manager. I file the bug-report after a partial upgrade just before I will reboot the system. If needed I can reboot in recovery mode, since the gnome display manager is not started in that case. I tried the continue button without effect and also "apt upgrade" and "apt dist-upgrade" do have the same effect I run the VM from the Host-OpenZFS file system, so I can restore to before the update. Recently I use a Virtualbox snapshot to restore the system to before the update/upgrade. If you need log files, let me know.
