i was trying to uninstall wine, but the command i got from this site destroyed my ubuntu machine. the command was "sudo apt-get remove wine*" or --purge in place of remove would do same thing. it uninstalled everything. luckly i had everything on an external hdd.

so i reinstalled 12.04 64bit. started up virtual box, made a virtual machine for 12.04 32bit. (was going to test wine apps in it). the installation process was ok. but after reboot of the virtual machine, i get low graphics window at bootup. then i deleted and tried again. same thing.

i gave the virtual machine: 2 CPU cores 2GB ram 128MB video ram 3d & 2d acceleration. 16GB HDD.

my ubuntu 64bit machine has: AMD 4 core 16GB ram nvidia gtx 650 1TB+

It was working before the melt down. soo im not getting it... enter image description here

First go into the VM's settings and enable 3D acceleration from Display. Then boot the machine and install the virtualbox-guest-utils package. After rebooting, the graphics problem should be resolved.

What worked for me was to go to the device menu then select Install Guest Additions. What it does is downloading an ISO and auto mounting it in the current VM.

Then all I had to do what was running:

sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-utils

Before installing the ISO this command didnt work. So install the ISO first.
