I have a similar case. Let me know if you want me to file a new bug and where to file it.
Test Case ========= Install Ubuntu 18.10 in VirtualBox. Restart Log in. Open Settings > Details > Users. Unlock then turn on Automatic Login. Restart. I get the similar corrupted display. My screen resolution is locked to 1024x768. The workaround for the corruption is to switch to a virtual terminal and back, but I still end up have screen drawing issues. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1796822 Title: Desktop live cd boots corrupted screen in Virtualbox on Bionic Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in initramfs-tools source package in Cosmic: Fix Released Status in xorg-server source package in Cosmic: Confirmed Bug description: On a Bionic host running the standard archive version of Virtualbox and the daily ISO of Cosmic, the live session starts with a corrupted graphical display, as can be seen here: https://imgur.com/a/rkTId4S (also attached) Switching VTs to 2 and back to 1 clears the display and things work again.
