1. After you boot Ubuntu, do NOT login to the graphical login manager.

2. Change to another console, like the second one, by pressing the
corresponding keys for VirtualBox (I think by default it is, *right*
Ctrl-F2).

3. Log in with your username and password.

4. Type unity --reset.

5. Reboot.

6. Log in to graphical login manager.

7. Reboot.


You are done. I have done this to my native Ubuntu 11.10 installation
and it worked.
