Bug Description
When booting from the 16.04 LiveCD (Xubuntu and Ubuntu) in Virtualbox the display is defective when the Language selection dialog and the LiveCD/Install Ubuntu choice should appear.
Defective display means (will attach a screenshot):
- no fonts or graphics visible
- strange colors
- display is wider than it should be (approx. factor two)
- when moving the mouse, I see a big defective mouse pointer
I'm using the amd64 ISOs on an amd64 Xubuntu 14.04 host with VirtualBox from the Ubuntu repos (Extensionpack from Oracle installed).
When changing with Host-key (right Ctrl in my case)+F2 to another console and switch back with Host-key-F1, the language selection screen is correctly displayed. The other consoles are unusable though. Note that the installer is on F1, not F7
Furthermore, if I enable EFI in the guest settings a grub menu appears with the Xubuntu ISO, where I can select Try/Install and the display works OK with these options. EFI with Ubuntu ISO gives me an EFI prompt, which I'm not familiar with.
This problem did not occur with the Xubuntu Betas and one of the last dailies.

Some info to add:
I'm using an Asus UL80V laptop with nVidia Geforce G210M (hybrid) graphics card. The problem occurs both if I use nVidia or Intel graphics.
I also deinstalled the Virtualbox extensions and the problem persists.
