How to boot androidx86 in gui?

After installing androidx86 on VirtualBox at boot android boot in CLI and after a couple of seconds I got a black screen, with a blinking underscore at the top-left of the screen, its keep blinking without any change, it wont boot the gui.

I have tried different installations following various guides on internet, but I got ever the same problem, I have also tried with Alt+f7 key combo and putting nomodoeset in boot option in grub, but nothing.

In all tutorial I have found online they always start the gui without any problem. But I got always the black screen after 2 seconds of cli.

  1. Right click on the virtual machine you are looking to modify, and hit Settings
  2. Navigate to Display, then make sure you are on the Screen tab
  3. Set Monitor Count to 2 or more
  4. Set the Graphics Controller to VBoxVGA
  5. Increase the Video Memory to 128MB (choose the maximum amount available to you)
