Typing exit gets me to the text-like menu. There is no 'Boot Option' menu entry. Under 'Boot Manager' menu there are 4 choices: UEFI Misc If I select this nothing happens. EFI Internal Shell This brings me back to the Shell> prompt UEFI PXE4 UEFI HTTPv4 Under 'Boot Maintenance Manager' there are: Back to Main menu Add Boot Option (blank, nothing to choose) Delete Boot Option Change Boot Order (allowing me to rearrange the order of the 4 choices above).

Thanks for your assistance. Deleted the VM including disks. change the CPUs to 1/9 2/10 3/11 4/12. Changed the type to Q35-3.1 Now when I start it brings up UEFI interactive shell and stops at the Shell> prompt. -- Tom

Thanks for the response.

1. Updated to 6.8 2. Created new Ubuntu-19.10 VM. VM installs and starts, lots of CPU activity on the dashboard. VNC connects to the 19.10 VM, and gives notice that it is connected (brief pop-down), but the graphics display is blank. Have waited for 30 minutes of CPU activity, but still nothing. 3. The 19.10 ISO file was tested on a different computer and correctly launches under virtualbox. Two VMs (19.04, 18.04) installed prior to the 6.8 update start OK and shut down (from inside the VM), but the 19.04 VM icon shows it still running after it has shutdown. -- Tom

Tried it today and the md5 hash problem is resolved. Everything appears to be working correctly. Thanks for repairing this ! -- Tom

Same problem.
