I cannot run Bazzite on Virtualbox. Installation is successful, enough RAM and disc space. GRUB shows up, then system starts with no further effect, just black screen with blinking underscore. Any solutions?

Thanks! Unfortunately your solution doesn’t work. I have problem with Bluefin too, it must be a problem with Universal Blue images because clean Fedora Silverblue GUI works fine.

I haven’t looked closely at this. But I believe since our switchover to dnf5, dnf5 removes the virtualbox additions. I don’t know if it’s necessary for graphical output.

@ucadi23 , can jo post print screen like: Blufin unbootable with Jan-26 and Jan-29, but boots fine with Jan-19 - #10 by CyberOto Virtualbox additions shoud not be related Linux to not boot.

Looks like the same issue I have had with Blufin.
