Description:
With last virtualbox-guest-utils update; virtualbox graphic drivers are borken. The VM display is working during boot until DE load (KDE/plasma in my case) but a few second after the display goes black. vboxservice is still running and just before crashing I can see this 2 year old error message "vboxclient failed to register resizing support rc=verr invalid function". Of course I have xf86-video-vmware installed. An interesting behavior is when I click on "Close the Virtual Machine" I can see the preview of what is displayed on the DE so the graphic drivers must not be totally crashed. I have the same behavior with all 3 graphic drivers VboxVGA, VboxSVGA and VMSVGA. I reproduced it on 2 different ArchLinux VM. Maybe an important thing to mention is that I'm using EFI and so I have the "Enable EFI (special OSes only)" option checked. Additional info: * Linux 5.6.13 * virtualbox-guest-utils 6.1.18 * vboxservice.service active and running ok Steps to reproduce: * Install ArchLinux guest with last vanilla kernel and virtualbox-guest-utils in EFI mode. * Select whatever graphic drivers VboxVGA, VboxSVGA and VMSVGA. |
