This might explain the issue I'm having.
I had an older Linux Lite deployment in a Proxmox VM (QEMU) that I used occasionally. I installed the latest updates yesterday and after reboot I no longer got a login screen. When I connected to it remotely via No Machine, the client said that no display was configured and offered to configure one. This happens after every reboot, but locally I can no longer log in. The video adapter for the VM in Proxmox is set to "vmware compatible". At first I thought the new kernel was the issue, but even booting with the old kernel did not fix the issue. I remember that the virtualbox-guest-* packages were part of the latest updates.
I then just wiped the VM and recreated it from scratch, installing Linux Lite 3.8 64-bit. It all went OK and was able to boot into it, but after the first series of updates the same thing happened. Black screen at boot, no login prompt. Switching the VM's video adapter to something else doesn't fix the issue.
