Virtualbox not working on Ubuntu 16.04


Fatemeh Abdollahei

I have successfully installed virtualbox-5.0 on Ubuntu 16.04. During the installation I didn't get any error messages, but now I can't start it. Before installation, I have enabled hardware virtualization technology (VT-x) in Virtualbox and I have tested two ways of installation: using ubuntu repository and downloading .deb (via this link )

Here is a screenshot of the result of a boot with the system doing nothing.

I don't know why and what to do.

/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -pThe output of the command is here:Unified support for results of test commands

Update (OCT24):

When I edit the grub config file ( /etc/default/grub) to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"and update grub, Virtualbox appears and starts up, but the system is so slow that I can't even click something properly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

With what you said, it sounds like VirtualBox is turned on.

Sometimes, especially on laptops, you get a "phantom" screen - a screen connected to the HDMI output (or equivalent) when Ubuntu thinks there's nothing.

Ubuntu may still try to display applications on this ghost screen. Try disabling the external screen to avoid this issue. When you disable it, all apps on that screen should move to the only connected screen - the actual screen.
