This is kind of hard to explain, but hopefully it makes sense. I don’t think a screenshot would help because everything “LOOKS” fine. But the characters in my Ubuntu VM console look funny. And I can’t drag my mouse across the text to select it. Nor cacn I right-click. The console works fine, and I can run commands. I don’t see the Ubuntu desktop, just this console. I don’t even really need the desktop, but if it’s there and I can start it up when I want it, that will be OK, but for now I would like to figure out how to get a regular console for this VM. Any ideas? Thanks, and sorry for the newb question!

    I have a feeling you’re talking about the TTY.

    I got the same creepy feeling.

    Like someone trying to talk about fork and knife who has never seen fork and knife before :-)
