Bug Description
Using 20.04 LTS installed from mini.iso, upgraded to 21.10.
Then installed Cinnamon desktop by `sudo apt-get install cinnamon*`.
This is what I see on boot - see screenshot.

Note the same happens on installation of regular Ubuntu 21.10 ISO.

VirtualBox has version 6.1 (on Ubuntu MATE 18.04.6 amd64 host), using default VBoxSVGA driver which works well with Ubuntu MATE 21.10 with the same Xserver version as common package base.
Using VBoxVGA driver results with the same failure.
Switching video driver to VMSVGA helps.
