Ubuntu keeps going to log-in screen on Oracle VM VirtualBox

I installed Ubuntu on an Oracle VM VirtualBox and when I log in, it seems to load, but then goes back to the login screen again. The same problem happens when I "try" or "install," except "try" brings me to a desktop for 0.5 seconds, then returns to a log-in screen.
