Curious Linux boot logo/screen behaviour in VirtualBox...

[mingle]

Hi Guys,

While using a Linux (Mint 18.0 64-bit xfce) guest on VirtaulBox (5.1.8 ) under Windows 10 (64-bit) I've noticed slightly strange behaviour
with the boot screen/logo as the Linux Mint guest system starts up and shuts down.

When the VM system starts, the usual Linux Mint graphical logo is nots displayed, instead a 'text' mode boots screen appears (see the attached screenshot(s).

However, when I shuts down my Linux guest, I get the usual graphical logo.

Any idea why this would be happening?

Cheers,

Mike.

Exactly the same behavior on VirtualBox 5.0.26 and the like. Never really thought of that...

Same strange behavior with LMDE2, sometimes i see the 3 dots, sometimes i see the boot messages. Same on shutdown, sometimes the logo, sometimes the shutdown messages...

This is not dependent from the version of VB. The Mint logo does not display since Mint 18 in a VM, in Mint 17.x it does.
