There is literally nothing on the screen except the colorful background and the mouse.
Issue with windows 8+ Intel HD+ Sun virtual Box+ 32 Mb of Video Memory After the login nothing comes up but able to go to CLI by ctrl+alt+F1. Also i started up ssh and able to work through the CLI but UI doesnt work at all.
Do i need any specific version of the drivers for Intel HD 4000?
The issue seems to be with Unity and forcing to 3D.
I solved this problem following the following document: http://blogs.operationaldynamics.com/paul/opensource/not-unifed-in-12-10-the-quickening
I did not do the last part of the document. All I did is as follows:
After you login, you get an empty screen with the Ubuntu wallpaper, at this point do a Ctrl-Alt-t. This will launch the terminal window.
Issue the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
sudo apt-get -f update
sudo apt-get -f install gdm gnome-shell gnome-tweak-tool gnome-session-fallback
You will be asked what Window Manager to use, make sure you select GDM.
Reboot, while still in the terminal window, issue the following command:
sudo shutdown -r now
That should do it. If you still have issues, make sure your read the web link listed above.
