I'm trying to install Lubuntu 17.10 as a guest OS on a virtual machine. I'm using VirtualBox Version 5.2.6 r120293 (Qt5.6.1) and my host OS is CentOS 7.
I create a virtual machine, loaded the ISO image of Lubuntu 17.10 into it and started the machine. I got the options where it asked whether I wanted to try Lubuntu or I wanted to install. I selected install and the only thing I ended up getting was a garbled screen.
So, I booted it again but this time I selected try Lubuntu. But the result was the same. Following is a screenshot of the same.
I'm not sure what is the issue. Is it a problem with the OS or VirtualBox? And how can I resolve it?

Not sure if this will work in your case, but my guest Lubuntu 17.10 looked exactly the same when running on a windows host. Here's what fixed it for me
1. disabling nested paging (system → acceleration → enable nested paging checkbox)
2. increasing the video memory to 128 mb (display → video memory slider)
