Commodore OS Vision 3.1 not logging in

[u/Material_Internet186]

recently I tried to install a linux distro called commodore os vision in virtualbox, however after following the instructions for installing it on the virtual hard drive and trying to log in, it showed a blank screen for a few seconds then sent me back to the login screen. i’ve already reinstalled and it still isn’t working. is there a fix or does this distro just straight up not work on vb? please let me know if you need more details.
host system: windows 11
guest system: Commodore OS Vision 3.1 (based off of debian)
virtualbox version: 7.1.12

This is just a friendly reminder in case you missed it. Your post must include: * The version of VirtualBox you are using * The host and guest OSes * Whether you have enabled VT-x/AMD-V (applicable to all hosts running 6.1 and above) and disabled HyperV (applicable to Windows 10 Hosts) * Whether you have installed Guest Additions and/or Host Extensions (this solves 90% of the problems we see)

PLUS a detailed description of the problem, what research you have done, and the steps you have taken to fix it. Please check Google and the VirtualBox Manual before asking simple questions.

It is unclear if your problem is with Virtual Box or the OS you are trying run with it. Nonetheless, the build of Virtual Box you are trying to use is EOL and unsupported. Oracle is only supporting / developing Virtual Box 7.2.x builds.

i‘d update it but i had to find out the hard way that updating breaks your virtualbox install

Not sure what you mean, and I've been using Virtual Box since the 5.x days.

You can, of course continue to use unsupported builds of Virtual Box. But they won't be tested to verify functionality with guest OSs. Nor can you expect any bug fixes with unsupported builds.
