Hey there!

I really like the deepin OS, but I wanted to install a Windows-only software, and decided to do it via Virtual Box.

However, after installing Virtual Box (maybe unrelated), my system fails to boot its the deepin desktop and looks like this:





Weirdly enough, I can right click on the desktop, and I have to option to bring up this Openbox Config Manager Tool (and switch desktops). Did anyone else meet this bug?

This is what my system originally looked like:



What can I do to revert?

Thank you in advance!

Hello,

VirtualBox is not working correctly because it is a 3rd party software and if UEFI secure boot is enable then Deepin will not install vboxdrv.
So you have to disable UEFI secure boot

Uninstall VirtualBox first:
1- sudo apt-get remove --purge virtualbox
2- sudo rm ~/"VirtualBox VMs" -Rf
3- sudo rm ~/.config/VirtualBox/ -Rf

To install it again :
1- sudo apt-get install virtualbox
2- sudo apt install virtualbox-ext-pack
3- sudo apt install virtualbox virtualbox-ext-pack

Best regards
