Hi!
I found a solution:
1. Load the VirtualBox guest additions (CD-image) and mount it (e.g.
into `/mnt').
2. Change into the directory where you mounted the guest additions and execute
one of
the following commands:
/mnt# ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run --noexec --target /tmp/vbox # on
x86-systems, or
/mnt# ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run --noexec --target /tmp/vbox # on
x86_64-systems
3. Change into the directory `/tmp/vbox'. You should see a number of
files of the forms `vboxvideo_drv_XY.so' and `vboxmouse_drv_XY.so'. You
must copy one of each of the `vboxvideo_drv_XY.so'-files into
`/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers' and one of the
`vboxmouse_drv_XY.so'-files into `/usr/lib/xorg/modules/input'
(replacing the corresponding files in these two directories). Which pair
of files your system needs depends on the version-number of the Xorg
X-server. The most simple way to detect this version number is
/mnt# dpkg -l xserver-xorg-core
. Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) obviously uses the version 1.5.2 of the
X-server, so your system needs `vboxvideo_drv_15.so' and
`vboxmouse_drv_15.so'.
I learned this just today after i updated an Ubuntu-Linux 8.04 (Hardy
Heron) to 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) and the X crashed during the start. Even
the drivers from the Ubuntu package `virtualbox-ose-guest-utils' failed
(no longer with a hangup, but the X-server refused to work - with the
error-message described at the beginning of this thread). The same
unfortunately holds for the installer of the VirtualBox guest utilities
(VBoxLinuxAdditions-XXX.run), so i needed to do these thing completely
manually. But it works for me - the Ubuntu-Image is fully functional
again ... ;-)
