Forcing F19 to 'vga mode' + borked install after Virtualbox guest additions on F19

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I wonder if any of you have managed to install Fedora 19 beta in Virtualbox.

I did, and all was working well... until I installed the Guest Additions trying to get better performance, and I ended up runing my VM, now I get scrambled video.

I wonder if anyone else has tested F19 (32bit) on Virtualbox guest

Moving forward, what would be the official rescue procedure to force a Linux OS into a "safe" video mode (say, 800x600 SVGA framebuffer)?.

My trouble setup includes F19 Linux as Virtualbox guest (32 bit F19 beta), Win7 SP1 64bit host, AMD-V enabled.

Here's what I get after installing the guest additions...

In the OS/2 world, things were easy: ctrl-alt-f1, and from the pre-boot menu, selecting V for "Boot to VGA mode"

In the Linux world,however,developers think that making things more complicated is actually "progress", hence the involution from grub1 bootargs to this grub2 insanity...

Any step by step guide for old geeks with ADD? ;)

First of all I'd like to know if I'm the only one to experience this, and second, any ideas as to how to fix it...

Thanks in advance.
