Steve,
I was able to install Ubuntu 17.04 within a VirtualBox 5.20.0
environment and indeed the bug stands instantiated by that variant of
Ubuntu as well. Moreover, using the same boot into recovery mode, enter
the password in textual mode and effectuating a "resume boot" seems to
work to bring up both 17.04 as well as 17.10 variants of Ubuntu.
The script as follows hereupon was executed on both 17.04 and 17.10,
thereafter the output from 17.04 and 17.10 is provided herein below.
Script:
lspci | grep VGA;
lsmod | grep "kms\|drm";
find /dev -group video;
cat /proc/cmdline;
[[ -d /etc/modprobe.d ]] && find /etc/modprobe.d/;
if stat /etc/modprobe.d/*kms* 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null;
then
cat /etc/modprobe.d/*kms*;
else
echo "No kms files in /etc/modprobe.d directory.";
fi;
[[ -f /etc/X11/xorg.conf ]] && ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf;
[[ $(type -P glxinfo) ]] && glxinfo | grep -Ei "vendor|rendering";
[[ -f /var/log/Xorg.0.log ]] && grep LoadModule /var/log/Xorg.0.log
