Well a summary: The Ubuntu 22.04 LTS VM works file and it also works fine with the Ubuntu 22.10 VM on Xorg after disabling Wayland.
If I use Wayland it freezes and does not display the login screen. The last message, I see flashing by during the start-up, is about starting the gnome display manager. The system shuts down normally, if I use Virtualbox to initiate the shut down.

I see exactly the same behavior with Ubuntu Unity 22.04 and 22.10.

In recovery mode the system will start and it also presents a graphical interface but at a resolution of 800x600. The driver displayed in the settings utility is the "software renderer". Safe mode I assume.

The problem is independent of the used hardware, I checked and I have the same issue with the same Ubuntu 22.10 VM on my 2011 laptop with an i5-2520M (2C4T) and 8GB DDR3 :) There I still run Virtualbox 6.1.36 both in host and VM, Ubuntu itself is up-to-date on both host and in the VM.
