So I press CTRL + ALT + F2 to go get a terminal, but I can never login-the screen flickers so that I have to press each key a few times to get the letter to register and, since password characters never show up, I can't reliably type my password and login.Īny ideas on how to fix this, or some other solution that doesn't involve starting over from a new image?ĮDIT: Solutions like this may be useful if that damn screen would stop flickering.ĮDIT: After like 20 minutes, the flickering stopped and I logged into TTY2. The solutions I've seen for similar problems use different commands. The prompts before keep referencing 'gdm', like 'Removed slice User Slice of gdm'.
The screen shows a bunch of prompts, and it stops on one that says:Īlthough if memory serves, it stops on different prompts each time I reattempt.ĮDIT: No, I guess memory doesn't serve.
Then I clicked to reboot, and that's where my problem is-I haven't been able to successfully reboot since then. I also installed guest additions so I could access a shared folder. I recently updated: $ sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get dist-upgrade I have a Ubuntu machine through Oracle VM VirturalBox. I'm new to this, so I'm hoping I've just made a simple mistake. Alright so I've had this happen in the past, and I just ended up giving up and installing a new virtual machine.
