Public bug reported:
When booting from the 16.04 LiveCD (Xubuntu and Ubuntu) in Virtualbox
the display is defective when the Language selection dialog and the
LiveCD/Install Ubuntu choice should appear.
Defective display means (will attach a screenshot):
- no fonts or graphics visible
- strange colors
- display is wider than it should be (approx. factor two)
- when moving the mouse, I see a big defective mouse pointer
I'm using the amd64 ISOs on an amd64 Xubuntu 14.04 host with VirtualBox
from the Ubuntu repos (Extensionpack from Oracle installed).
When changing with Host-key (right Ctrl in my case)+F2 to another
console and switch back with Host-key-F1, the language selection screen
is correctly displayed. The other consoles are unusable though. Note
that the installer is on F1, not F7
Furthermore, if I enable EFI in the guest settings a grub menu appears
with the Xubuntu ISO, where I can select Try/Install and the display
works OK with these options. EFI with Ubuntu ISO gives me an EFI prompt,
which I'm not familiar with.
This problem did not occur with the Xubuntu Betas and one of the last
dailies.
