GPT: no GRUB: yes EFI GRUB2: no Filesystem: whatever is the latest, EXT3/4 System: read/write (most likely irrelevant) I always `Reboot` after install. When the GRUB loader appears, I kill the VM and clone if necessary at that point. I vaguely recall having had problems by Launching right after install. It appears the video mode incompatibilities have been resolved since I last played with this. You should be able to proceed straight to the desktop. RemixOS is much more usable on the desktop and also has an option to disable screen timeout in Marshmallow.
