Given that you have root access to the VM, I would try to disable the DM:
https://wiki.debian.org/GDM
$ systemctl get-default
Be sure to use the value given by the output of this command after testing.
$ systemctl set-default multi-user.target
$ systemctl reboot
Is espeakup speaking?
Which VM software are you using?
P.S. Resending this e-mail through the list, so other might chime in! :)
