I'm using Ubuntu 14.10 on a VirtualBox VM. It installed fine, I was even able to install Guest Additions and a few apps before shutting it down for the day. Now when I try to boot the VM all that loads is the UEFI Interactive shell.

enter image description here

How do I get it to boot back into the normal desktop?

    Go into your VirtualBox settings by choosing your Ubuntu VM then Settings. Choose System and then uncheck Enable EFI. – John Scott Dec 04 '14 at 01:48
  • I just tried that and all it gives me is "no bootable medium found" – Lucian Dragos Dec 04 '14 at 13:36

    Ah. No wonder. It's because you installed it in EFI mode. You need to make a new virtual machine and install Ubuntu all over again and make sure that box is NOT checked! – John Scott Dec 04 '14 at 21:16
  • Well that figures.. I didn't do much with it yet anyway so whatever x_x And this is why I VM things 1st lol – Lucian Dragos Dec 04 '14 at 22:27

Edit startup.nsh. Add the line:

fs0:\path\to\grubx64.efi
