Description:
VBoxClient-all is invoked by the vboxclient.desktop file in /etc/xdg/autostart however this leaves out the dynamic window scaling functionality as "VBoxClient --vmsvga" is never executed. Just executing VBoxClient with the vmsvga flag will fix the issue, however for some reason this is left out of the autostart. Environment: kernel linux510, running as a guest VM under Windows VirtualBox 6.1.32 Additional info: * package version(s) community/virtualbox-guest-utils 6.1.32-1 * config and/or log files etc. * link to upstream bug report, if any Steps to reproduce: |

Anyway, should work without.
Guest configured with VMSVGA adapter: VBoxDRMClient starts at boot, autoresize works fine.
Guest configured with VBoxSVGA adapter (I thought it was the recommended way and the future replacement for VMSVGA): VBoxDRMClient is not started, can't even be started manually (it probably crashes and I can't get any verbose message on what's wrong).
Astonishingly, running "VBoxClient --vmsga" when the Guest is using VBoxSVGA adapter fixes the autoresize. Puzzling.
