Virtual Box Issues (Pure OS doesn't load beyond logo

Software PureOS

I am using virtual box to test drive Pure OS. For some reason the Pure OS doesn’t get past the logo “PureOS”. It seems stuck and I do not know what to do to get it beyond that.

I think I recall mention of some bug with the interaction between Virtualbox and the PureOS image, in which you basically just have to mash random keys at the PureOS logo to generate entropy, which makes something happy and lets you proceed.

@wctaylor Thank you for your response. I will try that right now and see if it helps.

I’ll second that approach. On my Dell latitudes hitting the arrow right button enabled me to install Pure OS. Then it comes down to mucking around with drivers to get it functional etc. Good luck.
