    Black screen problem while installing Ubuntu in VirtualBox


    Hello folks,

    I'm having problem installing ubuntu in virtualbox. It loads fine upto the install menu but after i select 'Install ubuntu server edition'. the screen goes blank with a non-blinking cursor in the upper left corner of the screen. I've attached the screenshot below.
    How do I solve it?
