Given that you have root access to the VM, I would try to disable the DM: https://wiki.debian.org/GDM $ systemctl get-default Be sure to use the value given by the output of this command after testing. $ systemctl set-default multi-user.target $ systemctl reboot Is espeakup speaking? Which VM software are you using? P.S. Resending this e-mail through the list, so other might chime in! :) -- John Doe
