    Kubuntu 10.04 inside VirtualBox does not login anymore

    Hi all,

    I installed Kubuntu 10.04 in VirtualBox (on Windows XP) and have been using it for a few weeks with no problems. Now when I log in I get constant stream of KDE crash handler popups and nothing loads.

    I installed samba, restarted fine, shared some folders, applied some Kubuntu updates (4) and restarted again to get this. Can someone please help me? I'm new to Linux and never seen something like this...

    Re: Kubuntu 10.04 inside VirtualBox does not login anymore

    In a konsole

    sudo apt-get --reinstall install kubuntu-desktop
    sudo apt-get --reinstall install plasma-desktop

    in that order.

      Re: Kubuntu 10.04 inside VirtualBox does not login anymore

      Thanks for the help, but I am not able to log in at all or see a Konsole. Is there some sort of safe mode I can use to run those?

      And do you know what caused this? I want to make sure not to do it again.

        When you click the VB start arrow and the Oracle splash screen starts up, press the left shift key down and hold it until the Grub menu displays. Then choose the second option and from it a red and blue console dialog will eventually appear. Arrow down to the bottom option, root with network, and then TAB to "OK" and press the Enter key.

        You will have a root console with an internet connection.

          Re: Kubuntu 10.04 inside VirtualBox does not login anymore

          When I do that, I am asked for boot graphics and detect screen size, both of which I say Yes to. I then see a screen in which the 2nd option is "Install Kubuntu", which then brings me to the installer.

          Is this the right place? I don't see any "root with network" option...

            Nope, you've taken a wrong turn some place.
            When the Oracle splash screen displays, after you've clicked the "start" arrow on your guest OS, you want to quickly click on that screen to give it keyboard focus and immediately press and hold the Shift Key. When the Grub menu displays you can release the Shift key and use the arrow key to choose the second option (recovery), then press the Enter key. After a while a blue and red console screen will display
            Here is the Grub menu:

            You want to arrow down the the second line and with it high lighted press the Enter key.

            Here is the recover console menu:


            Arrow down the the line with beginning with the "netroot" lable (On mine it is the last line, on yours it could be like the graphic below). With it high lighted, press the TAB key once to tab to the "OK" , then press the Enter key.


            When you get the root console issue
            apt-get --reinstall install kubuntu-desktop
            apt-get --reinstall install plasma-desktop

            in that order. Sudo is not needed in this case because you will already be logged in as root.

              Re: Kubuntu 10.04 inside VirtualBox does not login anymore

              Thank you for your detailed instructions. I am able to do the steps as you suggest, however I am still seeing the same problem.

              Things seem to reinstall fine but I still see the same problems...

                Does anyone know how to fix this? All I did was install some updates and now Kubuntu is totally unusable...

                  Re: Kubuntu 10.04 inside VirtualBox does not login anymore

                  It appears that you have an unreported bug: https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?qui...nal%3A+Aborted,
                  which is similar to this bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=251358

                  Except, if I understand your problem correctly, your bug is crippling your use of Kubuntu as a guest OS within a VirtualBox. (Running on Windows?)

                  Maverick is a BETA release, right now, and there have been recent problems with KDE stability. Updates on Sunday appeared to fix them.



                  IF you can access a Konsole issue

                  sudo apt-get update
                  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

                  sudo dpkg --configure -a

                  o,r by using the "netroot" recovery console, issue

                  apt-get update
                  apt-get dist-upgrade

                  to install the latest updates which fixed the plasma and xserver instability issues. Then do

                  dpkg --configure -a

                  This will reconfigure any downloaded packages that didn't get unpacked or configured properly.

                  If that doesn't help then my only thought would be that your initial install was from an ISO that didn't pass checksum, or a LiveCD which didn't burn properly (DOA at 8x or less). Reinstall from a known GOOD LiveCD? Or, that your VirutalBox installation has been corrupted. Try saving off your vdi config files and reinstall virtualbox on your host. Then reinstall Kubuntu from a verified LiveCD. Perhaps, if you want a long lasting version of Kubuntu, with support, Install the 10.4 release and upgrade it to KDE 4.5.1, and save the experimental work for another guest OS.
