this problem again confirmed for Ubuntu 16.04.1 on i386 during the install into virtual box 5.1.6
the amount of people affected is assumed to be high and thus even if there is a work around (but not anybody gets it fast enough how to solve that but rather assume its just broken) it still would serve the Linux community much better if those issue is simply fixed and thus never seen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to kbd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1443853 Title: Ubuntu 14.10 ISO live boot in Oracle VirtualBox ends up with a corrupted display Status in Virtualbox: Invalid Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in kbd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in virtualbox package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: (Content copied from "Ubuntu 14.10 ISO live boot ends up with a corrupted display" #13615 VirtualBox bug ticket, by piotrjurkiewicz) Booting up live session of Ubuntu MATE 14.10 and Ubuntu Gnome 14.10 from ISO ends up with a corrupted screen. See the screenshot: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/186864347/ubu.png Switching back and forth to the tty7 (ctrl+alt+F1 and then alt+F7) fixes the display. I think that this might be a problem with resolution setting: ``` 00:00:31.226379 Display::handleDisplayResize(): uScreenId = 0, pvVRAM=0000000000000000 w=1152 h=400 bpp=0 cbLine=0x0, flags=0x1 00:00:31.226399 UIFrameBuffer::RequestResize: Screen=0, Format=0, BitsPerPixel=0, BytesPerLine=0, Size=1152x400, Sending to async-handler.. 00:00:31.226457 UIFrameBufferQImage::resizeEvent: Format=0, BitsPerPixel=0, BytesPerLine=0, Size=1152x400 00:00:31.226467 UIFrameBufferQImage::resizeEvent: Resizing to FALLBACK buffer due to format is invalid.. ``` After switching back and forth to the tty7 (what fixes the display) the log says: ``` 00:00:31.226379 Display::handleDisplayResize(): uScreenId = 0, pvVRAM=0000000000000000 w=1152 h=400 bpp=0 cbLine=0x0, flags=0x1 00:00:31.226399 UIFrameBuffer::RequestResize: Screen=0, Format=0, BitsPerPixel=0, BytesPerLine=0, Size=1152x400, Sending to async-handler.. 00:00:31.226457 UIFrameBufferQImage::resizeEvent: Format=0, BitsPerPixel=0, BytesPerLine=0, Size=1152x400 00:00:31.226467 UIFrameBufferQImage::resizeEvent: Resizing to FALLBACK buffer due to format is invalid.. 00:01:37.584616 Display::handleDisplayResize(): uScreenId = 0, pvVRAM=0000000000000000 w=720 h=400 bpp=0 cbLine=0x0, flags=0x1 00:01:37.584634 UIFrameBuffer::RequestResize: Screen=0, Format=0, BitsPerPixel=0, BytesPerLine=0, Size=720x400, Sending to async-handler.. 00:01:37.584680 UIFrameBufferQImage::resizeEvent: Format=0, BitsPerPixel=0, BytesPerLine=0, Size=720x400 00:01:37.584692 UIFrameBufferQImage::resizeEvent: Resizing to FALLBACK buffer due to format is invalid.. 00:01:39.055475 Display::handleDisplayResize(): uScreenId = 0, pvVRAM=000000000a7f0000 w=1024 h=768 bpp=32 cbLine=0x1000, flags=0x1 00:01:39.055495 UIFrameBuffer::RequestResize: Screen=0, Format=843204434, BitsPerPixel=32, BytesPerLine=4096, Size=1024x768, Sending to async-handler.. 00:01:39.055559 UIFrameBufferQImage::resizeEvent: Format=843204434, BitsPerPixel=32, BytesPerLine=4096, Size=1024x768 00:01:39.055568 UIFrameBufferQImage::resizeEvent: Resizing to directly use VGA device content.. ``` I have tested 4.3.18 and also the testbuild 4.3.19 r96825, it happens on both of them.
