Confirmed on i386 in VirtualBox 4.3.26 from upstream repos. Was able to get to the virtual terminal and indeed the system is not frozen but nothing doing. lightdm fails to start and there seem to be errors setitng up the display in X.
Not to speak for him but Kamilion mentioned that this also failed with VMWare Workstation 11.1. ** Summary changed: - Ubiquity fails to starts on lubuntu desktop images in virtualbox + lightdm fails to start on lubuntu desktop images in virtual machines ** Package changed: ubiquity (Ubuntu) => lightdm (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu) Importance: High => Undecided -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1441843 Title: lightdm fails to start on lubuntu desktop images in virtual machines Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: To reproduce boot the lubuntu amd64 image form Arpil 8th in virtaulbox 4.3.26 the version from the vivid repos.
