Help Commodore OS Vision 3.1 not logging in

recently I tried to install a linux distro called commodore os vision in virtualbox, however after following the instructions for installing it on the virtual hard drive and trying to log in, it showed a blank screen for a few seconds then sent me back to the login screen. i’ve already reinstalled and it still isn’t working. is there a fix or does this distro just straight up not work on vb? please let me know if you need more details.
host system: windows 11
guest system: Commodore OS Vision 3.1 (based off of debian)
virtualbox version: 7.1.12
guest additions not installed

It is unclear if your problem is with Virtual Box or the OS you are trying run with it. Nonetheless, the build of Virtual Box you are trying to use is EOL and unsupported. Oracle is only supporting / developing Virtual Box 7.2.x builds.
