[Bug 632622] [NEW] X11 Server crushed on virtualbox guest addition installation

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I wanted to try new Ubuntu 10.10 beta on my VirtualBox ver 3.2.8 r64453
Installation of Ubuntu 10.10 to new VM finished good. 
I was trying to install Virtual Box Guest Addition, it failed because could not determine X11 windows manager version. Tried to reintall... While VirtualBox Guest Addition was removing old version, screen crashed to ASCII mode with limited colors. 
I saw that i have some pending updates. Did update (include some linux version updates too, weird), I though it will fix the issue.
Tried to reinstall Guest Additions one more time. The screen crushed again.

I was not able to make a screenshot of it.
I didn't find any log (VBoxGuestAdditions.log and VBoxGuestAdditions-uninstall.log are empty)

Thank you Azim.
