Ubuntu in Virtual Box The system is running in low-graphics mode

After I have installed the Ubuntu 12.04 in Virtual Box, I start booting it and it give this error:

The system is running in low-graphics mode

Your screen, graphics cards, and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure these yourself.



I tried many solutions found in the internet, none of them work until I found the best and simplest solution.  I strongly recommend those encountered this problem to try on this solution first.

The solution:

When the message that "your system is running in low-graphics mode" appears press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to enter the terminal. Then login with your credentials, and then run the following commands:

sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get upgrade

It will take sometimes to finish depending on your Internet and machine speed. Shutdown or restart the machine and you will be able to boot into Ubuntu now: -)
