Bug Description
Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose
I have set up a guest ubuntu kartmic using virtualbox-ose (same result in VirtualBox from sun website), and it opens, but just sits there with a black screen - no input or output, but in the title bar it says "running"....
I have the kermic iso stored on my host hdd mounted as a 'floppy image' Before that I was getting a fatal "no bootable..." error. I also have downloaded the 'guest additions' which are mounted as a cdrtom image.
Running ubuntu karmic (9.10) UNR on an asus netbook 1005HA with 2Gb RAM
