Public bug reported:

I was testing Ubuntu Gnome 15.04 in VirtualBox. I was able to login into
the machine a few times and run updates and install a few programs. I
also installed the VirtualBox guest additions. Since today this happens:

I log into the machine. The login is accepted and the machine does
something for a few seconds. Then the machine jumps back to login, but
with a random flickering. The flickering also resets the password field,
which prevents it from being typed.

So I can't login into the machine anymore.

I am using a HP Probook 6570 b which I upgraded to 16 GB of RAM.
