I have a jammy laptop I installed today, and I used the same iso to create a jammy VM using virt-manager. In that VM, after the installation is complete, I cannot login. The screen either stays black, or throws me back to the login prompt. If I switch to Xorg login type, then it works.
More data coming up. |

Suggested fix
-------------
I think we're going to want to revert
https://gitlab.com/libosinfo/osinfo-db/-/commit/6ef9c9d4979d8
Try removing that section from your /usr/share/osinfo/os/ubuntu/ubuntu-18.04.xml before creating a jammy VM. |

Impact
------
If you use virt-manager or gnome-boxes from a 22.04 host to install a 22.04 VM, the VM tries to use Wayland by default and only shows a black screen.
Test Case
---------
1. Install the osinfo-db update and gnome-boxes
2. Close GNOME Boxes if it's running. Open GNOME Boxes.
3. Click the + icon, then Create virtual machine from file. Select your Ubuntu 22.04 desktop ISO.
4. Follow the prompts to create your box.
5. After it finishes installing, click the box. Log in. The screen should show like normal.
What Could Go Wrong
-------------------
This disables the 3D Acceleration (virgl) feature. The 3D Acceleration feature is disabled by default (you have to manually enable it even after installing a distro where it is offered).
And you have to toggle the switch to keep it working:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-boxes/-/issues/759#note_1386057
It's not clear why this black screen bug occurs, but there is an easy fix to revert a not very useful feature that only landed in 22.04 about a week ago. |
