I'm trying to set up a VM with VirtualBox to run Ubuntu 18.04.2. Everything set up just fine, but when I start it up, it doesn't show the Ubuntu installer, only a black screen with a flashing cursor in the upper left corner. It doesn't respond to any keyboard commands and doesn't do anything. I'm super new to all this and have no idea what I'm doing, and I need to have this set up for a class so I'd really appreciate any help!

Welcome to Ask Ubuntu. Please edit your question and add the new information up there. Which GPU (graphics card/chip) is the VM emulating? If it is using the same GPU as the host, please add that in the question.
