Yep, we got the same issue, not sure what wayland is doing, but probably this is the issue (quoting upstream)
fun: Wayland crashes if you open and close a laptop lid too fast. This is apparently not a bug but a design error in the protocol. And it has been causing me endless fun over the past week. https://phabricator.freedesktop.org/T7722 And likely to play havoc with VirtualBox dynamic resizing: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=788908 ** Changed in: virtualbox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Critical ** Changed in: virtualbox (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #788908 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=788908 ** Also affects: wayland (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: wayland (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: wayland (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Critical -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to wayland in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1724810 Title: 17.10/wayland causing flashes in virtualbox Status in wayland: Unknown Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: New Status in virtualbox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in wayland package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hi, just as a quick response: I've installed the new 17.10 Desktop for testing in a virtual machine (VirtualBox 5.1.20 running on MacOS), and while it installed smoothly and booted instantly, there's a problem with the graphics (probably related to wayland): Especially when moving the mouse or starting new programs the screen flashes white every few seconds or sometimes shows just a blank grey screen for about a second. Not suited for regular work. But I have no clue which component precisely is causing that problem. regards To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/wayland/+bug/1724810/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
