I'm trying to install an Ubuntu virtual machine on my Windows 10 laptop to do work on it. I've been following step by step tutorials, but when Ubuntu should boots and show me the desktop, I'm stuck with a blinking cursor on a black screen.

I've tried the nomodeset stuff and nothing is working. I've changed the Ubuntu ISO and that didn't work either.

I also tried with Vagrant, with a 32 and 64 bit Ubuntu, but both froze at SSH auth method: private key.

What am I doing wrong?

  • Just a few informations. I'm running on windows 10 64-bit, Intel I7, – Bryan Mar 14 '18 at 15:12
  • Does the login screen appear if you press Ctrl+Alt+F1 ? I've had this happen during OS version upgrades on VMs. Not posting as an answer as not sure it will work. – Arronical Mar 14 '18 at 15:46
  • I can access some kind of menu yes. That's where I tried to activate the "nomodeset" and stuff – Bryan Mar 14 '18 at 16:55
  • Is the menu you get the Grub menu? It'll say something like Grub 2.0 at the top of the screen if so. Are the SSH warnings just on the Vagrant setups? – Arronical Mar 14 '18 at 17:13

    According to OP's answer the issue was the disabled virtualization support in BIOS. I'm voting to close as off topic since that's entirely unrelated to Ubuntu. – David Foerster Mar 16 '18 at 15:55

I've solved it. I had to turn on Intel VT-x in the BIOS options.
