I have ubuntu 12.04 installed on virtual box in Dell inspiron n5110. I have this problem from couple of weeks and did not get resolved yet after couple of searches. Pressing ctrl+alt+f(*) does not get me to a console. I am newbie.

How do I get this resolved?

In file /etc/default/grub, add nomodeset to the line

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="XXX"

becomes

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="XXXnomodeset"

Then run

sudo update-grub.

Then restart.

  • Use Right Ctrl+F#. By default, Virtual Box uses Right Control as Host Key.

  • In some convenient cases where using USB keyboard, It could be attached directly to VM. So generic shortcuts could be used Ctrl+Alt+F#.
