After selecting to install ubuntu server from the latest ubuntu iso image.

In my display setting there is the following selected: 'virtio-gpu-pci'

[fernandoasqui]

it worked using virtio-ramfb-gl (GPU Suported)

[wade764]

That worked for me as well! Thank you so much.

Hi, I had adjusted my setting to virtio-ramfb-gl (GPU Supported), but it stuck.
It now keeps being status in the picture below.
Hope that you can help!
Thanks!

I had similar issue. And it looks like somehow worked.
I used virtio-vga instead.

I tried to emulate ubuntu 16.04.7 LTS (Xenial Xerus) - AMD64, on macOS Ventura (13.5.1) with m1 chip.

The default display setting were virto-gpu-pci, as like others.
And i tried virtio-ramfb-gl but it stopped (even before booting) more than 5 minutes like @alicebear1203 above.

So I tried to add other display, and the default setting of added display were virtio-vga.
Eventually, I tried virtio-vga instead virtio-ramfb-gl and here's the result.

For me, it took about 30 sec to load ubuntu installation (I fasten the vid)

Thanks for helping!
I found I am so silly that my goal is to install Ubuntu GUI, so I can just download the GUI iso, and then all done :P

I ran into the same issue with emulating a Kairos amd64 build on a macOS 14.2 device with a M2 processor.

Changing the GPU from virtio-gpu-gl-pci to virtue-vga-gl worked for me. I am using Hardware acceleration.

I had encountered the same issue and managed to resolve it by following these steps:

1. I checked the box for Enable hardware OpenGL acceleration.
2. Then, I navigated to Settings => Display => Emulated Display Card and selected virtio-ramfb-gl (GPU Supported).

My computer environment is as follows:

I am using an M1 Mac with OS Sonoma 14.2.1, and I encountered this issue while running Ubuntu ARM 22.04.3 on a UTM 4.4.5.

Hey where did you find the option for "Enable Hardware OpenGL Acceleration" ?

I had the same problem but it went when I increased the size of the display window - just drag it with the mouse

[digevil]

well I got this message as well but my solution is ... just wait a few seconds(without doing anything) and the expect UI just show up ...

Same issue for Fedora KDE (Intel and AMD x86_64), but it's only for a few seconds, waiting a little bit without changing anything like the window dimension or moving the window, and the Fedora boot loading screen will show up but then causing a black screen (stuck):

I solved the issue by change display settings on virtio-gpu-vg-pci, bit it takes 2-3 minutes to boot as well every time. Even longer then default set with that display output not active process.
