I have a few Ubuntu VMs I use in interactive mode on the console. I've been running older, obsolete versions of Ubuntu because whenever I try to upgrade / rebuild with a new VM, I get stuck with the same issue.
To reproduce (for me at least):
- Install Ubuntu on Promox VM (ubuntu-22.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso)
- Choose auto-login during installation
- install all patches offered
At this point, the VM will be able to reboot, and auto-login will work. You can restart repeatedly and the VM will auto-login and remain properly interactive, as it should.
But, go to Settings and switch to 1920 x 1080 screen resolution and the problems will start, for me.
* Sometimes you will be unable to switch to 1920 x 1080. The screen will change size, but stop updating, so you can't assent to the resolution change and then it reverts. If it fails to change, you may get a Ubuntu 22.04 error, a SIGSEGV in gnome-shell.
* If it does work, it will seem to be fine, but once you reboot you'll get a black screen that you can't interact with until the console locks after several minutes. This makes the VM nearly useless for my purposes.
I'm running the following Proxmox version:
