Hello,
I am using Virtual Box version 7.2.4 r170995 (Qt6.8.0 on cocoa). I am on Apple M4 pro with Sequoia 15.7.2.
I downloaded the following iso from Ubuntu → ubuntu-22.04.5-live-server-arm64.iso.
I am seeing blank screen after Try or Install Ubuntu Server Boot option seen on the screen in Virtual Box.
I checked the VBox log for any errors. I am only seeing the following error in the VBox.log.
/DBGC/] (level 1)
00:00:00.635600 GlobalInitScript = “/Users/mustafacayci/Library/VirtualBox/dbgc-init” (cb=49)

00:00:00.635605 LocalInitScript = “/Users/mustafacayci/VirtualBox VMs/Ubuntu_22_04/dbgc-init” (cb=58)

00:00:00.63562
Just to troubleshoot further … I downloaded 24.04 iso file ubuntu-24.04.3-live-server-arm64.iso and created a new VM machine and was able to bring it up. I checked the VBox.log and observed the same above error. I think that error has nothing to do with why I am seeing a blank screen.
I read somewhere that I should turn off 3D Acceleration in Display. I have done that as well but it did not make any difference. I just don’t understand if this issue is with specific Ubuntu iso I am using. Is it with Virtual Box? Full transparency … I posted a similar message in Virtual Box forum as well.
Any help is much appreciated.
