17.10 Black screen pre and post login on virtualbox

[MicWit]

I have been testing the daily builds from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/HEADER.html on virtualbox (https://www.virtualbox.org/) in a windows host.

I originally installed it a few weeks ago, and would do an apt update and apt upgrade every day to get the latest changes. Then when I did an upgrade about a week ago, I ran into these issues. I tried downloading the new image every day since (although it looks like that image has not changed in the past week or so anyhow), and it installs fine, I can log in fine, but once I do the apt update and reboot, I get a black screen where I should see the login.

Steps I made to replicate (can someone else verify the same thing happens?):
- Install virtual box 5.1.28
- Create a new vm (4GB ram, 10GB hdd)
- Insert and install the image daily 17.10 image (from link above)
- Boot to login screen, log in and load to desktop
- Do a sudo apt update and a sudo apt upgrade
- At this point it sometimes comes up with the prompt to reboot, either way, reboot
- You will find a black screen when you should see the login screen (if you move your mouse over or click you can see random white pixels around)
- Before moving the mouse or pressing any keys, press enter, enter password, press enter again (as you would do normally to log in)
- For a second the console screen (sometimes purple background, sometimes black background) shows some feedback
- Once booted into desktop, all is black again (with random white pixels sometimes)

I do not have a PC available at the moment to test on, and haven't had a chance to test in a vm with a Ubuntu host (or any other host). Ubuntu 16.04 has been working in another vm on the same machine for ages, and 17.10 was working until recently.

Have added 2 packages it may affect, I really am not sure which packages it would affect so if anyone else has any idea please edit as needed.

Appears to have been resolved in the latest daily build.

This can be closed, but I'm not sure how to do this.
