I'm using Linux Mint Debian XFCE edition in my VirtualBox. It was running fine until one day I decided to shut down my virtual computer and discard the current snapshot. I started it up again several days later but it seems that the GUI does not start up and I get a command line. I checked my Xorg.0.log and it contained this:

It says that no screen was found. How is this possible? Where did my display go? Do you have any ideas?
