No icons on main screen on VirtualBox

Ask Ubuntu Asked by user133125 on January 10, 2021

I’ve tried everything, I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled, I’ve tried adding guest additions, nothing is working.

EDIT: I should also add I’ve been using this guide to getting VB set up: http://alexmk.hubpages.com/hub/How-To-Install-Ubuntu-Steam-TF2-under-VirtualBox-on-Windows-to-get-Linux-Tux-Promo

I have two systems, both running Windows 7 64-bit as the host operating system. I did an install of VirtualBox (4.2.10) and Ubuntu 12.10 on both. It worked fine on my Dell desktop, but I got the icon-less screen on my Lenovo laptop. There were other problems on the laptop, such as Compiz crashing, and taking minutes to open a terminal session. After several re-installs and trying various things, I tried installing Ubuntu 12.04 instead. Worked first time with no special tweaks.

Based on this post (https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=51727&start=45) you might have better luck with a different display adapter.
