Public bug reported:
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.
