I am Using Ubuntu in Virtual Box.. the Host OS is Windows10 with dedicated intel's Graphics.
I have reinstalled twice, probably this starts due to sudden shutdown or some reason. Dnt know whats the problem.
Saw a old post about this type on Ubuntu 12.04 / 14.04 LTS
... but their problem/ solution was on Nvidia Driver. And following that didnt help me!
.
Any solution ?

Same here. Virtualbox 5.2. Ubuntu 18.04. Windows 10 Host with Intel graphics. Reinstalled thrice. Fails on bootup. No error, it simply waits with a purple screen and 5 dots. No guest additions, it is a fresh install. Trying to login the first time after reboot. Based on the answers, it seems there is no single reason.

i've had the same issue:
- 3D acceleration = off
- 10 GB Ram
My solution was:
- 1 processor => 4 processors
- enable PAE/NX
4
I also had to increase the number of processors (I set it to 2). Enabling PAE/NX was not necessary for me.

I already had 3D acceleration turned off, but I did increase the video memory from 16 to 64 Mb and that got it to work for me.

Did you allocate enough RAM to the virtual machine? Give it 2GB or more RAM. I discovered when I ran Ubuntu 18.04 live cd on virtual box, it froze at some point, but on allocation of more RAM, I got it working perfectly
i gave it 4 GB ram .... and 2 core to process from the start .... Turning off the 3d acceleration ... the problem is not repeating now !!!

- RAM 4GB
- CPU 3
- PAE/NX Enabled
- VT-x/AMD-V Enabled

That made it work.
I changed the following setting:
- PAE/NX Enabled
It still worked.
Looked like there is 'something' with the number of processors. Based on the other answers, there does not seem to be a 'right' number that works for every system.
I then realized that I also have an Ubuntu 18.04 Server VM on my system. This one still works. I noticed that for this virtual machine the Paravirtualization Interface is set to Default, while for my Desktop VM (the one I was having problems with), it was set to Legacy.
I changed it to Default and now it works, with any number of CPU's.
So the solution, for me, was to:
Set Paravirtualization Interface to Default.

It seems like there is no definite answer to this one.
What worked for me is - Uncheck the box labelled "Solid-state Drive" for the virtual hard disk.
3D acceleration is Enabled. 128 MB Video Memory. 4 GB RAM. 2 CPU. Virtualbox Guest Additions are Not installed. All other system settings are at default.
Hi Runtime! Can you explain why disabling the Solid-state Drive ? It's common that the 3d-acceleration can cause freezing.

Select your VM in manager > Settings > Storage > Select your VDI under SATA > Uncheck the Solid-state Drive box. It is disabled by default. I have an SSD so I had enabled it. Apparently, it is for the guest to see it as an SSD. Seems like there is a bug in Virtualbox 5.2.14 and/or Ubuntu 18.04 where it cannot handle SSD properly.

Several of my old VMs seem to hang on bootup. If in Grub I select "recovery mode", the last messages displayed on the screen are:
smp: Bringing up secondary CPUs...
x86: Booting SMP configuration:
Then it hangs.
In my case, I can confirm that for all my VMs experiencing this problem, changing the Virtualbox setting "System -> Acceleration -> Paravirtualization Interface" from "Legacy" to "Default" enabled these old VMs to work again. Switching it back to "Legacy" immediately makes it hang on boot, so I know for certain this is the key to the issue in my case.

I had the same problem. When I experienced the problems my settings were:
- RAM 4GB
- CPU 3
- PAE/NX Enabled
- VT-x/AMD-V Enabled
- Nested Paging Enabled
- 3D Acceleration Disabled
- 2D Video Acceleration Disabled
I changed the following settings:
- CPU 1
- PAE/NX Disabled
That made it work.
I changed the following setting:
- PAE/NX Enabled
It still worked.
Looked like there is 'something' with the number of processors. Based on the other answers, there does not seem to be a 'right' number that works for every system.
I then realized that I also have an Ubuntu 18.04 Server VM on my system. This one still works. I noticed that for this virtual machine the Paravirtualization Interface is set to Default, while for my Desktop VM (the one I was having problems with), it was set to Legacy.

It seems like there is no definite answer to this one.
What worked for me is - Uncheck the box labelled "Solid-state Drive" for the virtual hard disk.
3D acceleration is Enabled. 128 MB Video Memory. 4 GB RAM. 2 CPU. Virtualbox Guest Additions are Not installed. All other system settings are at default.
Hi Runtime! Can you explain why disabling the Solid-state Drive ? It's common that the 3d-acceleration can cause freezing.

Select your VM in manager > Settings > Storage > Select your VDI under SATA > Uncheck the Solid-state Drive box. It is disabled by default. I have an SSD so I had enabled it. Apparently, it is for the guest to see it as an SSD. Seems like there is a bug in Virtualbox 5.2.14 and/or Ubuntu 18.04 where it cannot handle SSD properly.

It seems like there is no definite answer to this one.
What worked for me is - Uncheck the box labelled "Solid-state Drive" for the virtual hard disk.
3D acceleration is Enabled. 128 MB Video Memory. 4 GB RAM. 2 CPU. Virtualbox Guest Additions are Not installed. All other system settings are at default.

Hi Runtime! Can you explain why disabling the Solid-state Drive ? It's common that the 3d-acceleration can cause freezing.

Several of my old VMs seem to hang on bootup. If in Grub I select "recovery mode", the last messages displayed on the screen are:
smp: Bringing up secondary CPUs...
x86: Booting SMP configuration:
Then it hangs.
In my case, I can confirm that for all my VMs experiencing this problem, changing the Virtualbox setting "System -> Acceleration -> Paravirtualization Interface" from "Legacy" to "Default" enabled these old VMs to work again. Switching it back to "Legacy" immediately makes it hang on boot, so I know for certain this is the key to the issue in my case.

Same here. Virtualbox 5.2. Ubuntu 18.04. Windows 10 Host with Intel graphics. Reinstalled thrice. Fails on bootup. No error, it simply waits with a purple screen and 5 dots. No guest additions, it is a fresh install. Trying to login the first time after reboot. Based on the answers, it seems there is no single reason.
