Steps
Based on How do I install Guest Additions in a VirtualBox VM?:
- I installed the packages
build-esstential
,dkms
andvirtualbox-guest-additions-iso
; - I rebooted;
- I ran the ISO from
/usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso
; - I rebooted;
- The login screen does no longer show up.
For the login screen to show up, I have to enter into chroot from Live USB for uninstalling all VirtualBox Guest Additions packages. I did once. But I depend on VirtualBox Guest Addition for sharing the host's folders.
Observations
- I also disabled 3D acceleration, but the login screen also does not show up.
- I use PIIX3 chipset, USB Tablet pointing device, and VBoxSVGA graphics controller (I switched from to VBoxVGA, but the login screen does not show up).
Question
How to fix the login screen which does no longer show up after having installed VirtualBox Guest Addition on Ubuntu's guest virtual machine?
Update 2
Observe that I could not enter into the TTY. I entered via chroot from Live USB and removed the Guest Additions, the login screen showed up, but as I depend on Guest Additions for sharing the host's folders, I need to fix the login screen.
