Let me start by saying I'm a novice at Linux and a total noob with VirtualBox. I installed Kubuntu 21.04, everything was running great for a few weeks, except the screen size would always boot to something tiny (like 800x600). So every time I loaded it, I'd have to open up konsole and enter
xrandr --newmode "1920x1080" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode Virtual1 1920x1080
xrandr --output Virtual1 --mode 1920x1080
I got tired of doing that, so I made a startup script that would run the commands when the VM booted up. In the same session, I also tried to set up a shared host-guest folder to transfer files. After exiting and reloading the VM, the OS hangs on
[ 6.502884] [drm:vmw_host_log [vmwgfx]] *ERROR* Failed to send host log message.
[ 6.503359] [drm:vmw_host_log [vmwgfx]] *ERROR* Failed to send host log message.
And I can't do anything but shut down VirtualBox. I've gotten other messages occasionally as well, such as
[ OK ] Finished Set console scheme.
[ OK ] Finished Terminate Plymouth Boot Screen.
But the program still hangs unresponsive, and I can't type anything into the terminal.
Anyone have any idea what's going on? Please let me know if you need any additional info.
