Public bug reported: After installing the 20120213.1 alternate image for precise, I should see X come up on the first boot, but instead it's leaving me at a console login.
In the Xorg.0.log, it seems to be having trouble loading the vboxvideo module and fails to ever give me a graphical desktop. I tried installing virtualbox-ose-guest-dkms to see if it would help and got a build error on the module: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1641967/ but shouldn't the failover mode work in vbox too?
