During installation earlier, it can really work well I already seen Installation success so after that it became things goes wrong so when I am now trying to access my KDE Interface

It really shows and ended up like this…

Now when I restart again to boot it up it became stuck…

My setup from virtualbox at the moment…

Also note, I’ve done following this thread:
https://discovery.endeavouros.com/applications/installing-endeavouros-on-virtualbox/2021/03/

Any ideas?

Try switching VBox graphics to VBoxSVGSA like suggested here: VirtualBox guest running EndeavourOS encounters issues after updates

For some reason, this does fix it…

So I tested out in VBoxSVGA may return some warnings…

So in these case i don’t have idea if this problem was unnecessary to consider…

(Edit)

Hmm, strange the VboxSVGA or VBoxSVGSA will not let me to make 3D acceleration to work…

Consider downgrading the xf86-video-vmware package in your virtual machine to version 13.4.0-3. This solution worked for me without requiring any changes to the graphics controller.
