VirtualBox VM install of Linux Ubunutu or Lubunutu 18

I started to install Lubuntu 18 (a variant of Ubunutu) but the window graphics became corrupted after I selected the language. This is a known bug that sometimes occurs and there are various suggestions to workaround the problem.  What worked for me?

  1. Press Ctrl+Alt+F1
  2. Press Ctrl+Alt+F7
  3. Press Ctrl+Alt+F1

The screen went to a black blinking cursor and then back to normal.

Good luck!
