I recently upgraded to Windows 11. I am not sure if this is what caused the problem or if it is some other underlying issue, but I tried to boot Ubuntu today using Oracle VirtualBox and I was greeted by this screen that I keep getting every time I boot up.

I ran apt list --upgradable, but this makes no difference. I have done that and rebooted and it didn't work either. I just can't get into the desktop environment.

So... that is the OS. What exact version (and flavor) of Ubuntu is installed? Did you install Ubuntu Desktop or Ubuntu Server? Also, what happens when you do startx in that terminal? – cocomac Jan 22 '22 at 17:20
Switching between virtual console and GUI will get you back into the desktop environment. – karel Jan 22 '22 at 17:22
looks like a headless server installation to me – kanehekili Jan 22 '22 at 20:11

@cocomac I installed the desktop version I am fairly sure and its Ubuntu 20.04 as for flavours I just downloaded the system image off the official ubuntu page I didn't download Xubuntu or anything like that and when I run the startx command it just says that the command can't be found – ShinglesGordon98 Jan 24 '22 at 17:04
@ShinglesGordon98 What is the full filename of the ISO you downloaded? Was it something like Ubuntu Server? – cocomac Jan 24 '22 at 17:47
this is the file name ubuntu-20.04.3-desktop-amd64 – ShinglesGordon98 Jan 24 '22 at 18:56
