Black screen on VirtualBox

[Roland Guidry]

Loaded Gnome ISO. Ran ISO on VirtualBox 6.1 and installed OS from LiveUser. Got BlackScreen after loading. No indication what occurred. All other distro's ran smoothly with same VirtualBox settings.

Hey Roland,

Just saw your response. Could you try getting into other ttys? If yes, try to restart the gdm service.

It's the first time i've heard of this issue but if you provide a little bit more detail then might be able to fix it.

Few things :
1. How many screens do you have to test it?
2. What's the display setting in VBOX?

Its there, just not rendering properly due to display settings. Might have worked for your other vms but if ths works with few tweaks on display settings then that'd be it ;)

Let me know

Thanks for reply.

When I get the black screen I am unable to use the keyboard or mouse on
the Virtual Session.

But, I solved the problem.

I always use VBoxSVGA as my display. This time when installation to the
VirutalBox Hard Drive completed, rater than pressing Restart and Done, I
pressed Done only and Shut Down the Virtual session. The reason I did
this is because the ISO was always still connected to the session on
reboot. Never got a message either to remove installation device like
other distro's.

After shutdown of the Virtual session, I delete the ISO from storage and
selected Enable Nested Vt-x/AMD-V from Processor. I did not select
Enable Nested Vt-x/AMD-V installing the other Peux distro's. Thought I
would try.

Started the session and it worked like it should. I must say that Peux
Gnome works very well and small amounts of memory. I like some of the
programs you have in the distro.

I will play with this distro and determine if it can be used on my main
machine. Presently I am using Manjaro Gnome. Obviously because Peux is
ARCh and uses AUR my system will stay current. I really like using the
BTRFS file system with Timeshift-autosnap and Fish.

Its not usual coz ISO would not be detected on EFI mode after reboot unless u r using bios mode. So m assuming u were using bios.

Anyways, m glad u figured out ;)

You can join telegram or discord if you want btw. Thanks :)
