Tried 16.10 with Unity 8 in a VirtualBox VM, and after typing in my password and hitting enter, all I get is a black screen for a few seconds before being put back on the login screen.

It seems their developer preview has issues.

I believe that Unity 8 currently does not work with VirtualBox but is functioning in VMware Workstation.

Ubuntu has done that a long time if there's a problem with graphics drivers. Don't know more specifics for your issue, since I haven't run Ubuntu in a VM in years.
