** Description changed: [Impact] * ubuntu when used as a guest inside a Virtualbox VM machine [Test Case] * Install Ubuntu and mate or other DM, experience a black screen * Install vbox on xenial with guest and host. Test if everything works and starts with 3d enabled and disabled, as well as different Desktop Managers. + + [ autopkgtests ] + * this package has a really huge autopkgtest suite performed by upstream on each release, and this is the reason for me using the new release as-is instead of patching old versions. [Regression Potential] * This is part of virtualbox on Debian and Ubuntu since bionic and 3 months Author: Gianfranco Costamagna <costamagnagianfra...@yahoo.it> Date: Tue Apr 24 00:15:39 2018 +0200 basically, I now detect at runtime the --check3d switch, and enable the mesa override only for desktop and not for applications, the same as the official guest-additions packages do. this is the code: + if /usr/bin/VBoxClient --check3d 2>/dev/null; then + if test -e /usr/lib/virtualbox/additions/00vboxvideo.conf; then + cp -f /usr/lib/virtualbox/additions/00vboxvideo.conf /etc/ld.so.conf.d/00vboxvideo.conf + ldconfig + fi + fi + if test -e /etc/ld.so.conf.d/00vboxvideo.conf; then + rm -f /etc/ld.so.conf.d/00vboxvideo.conf + ldconfig + fi the update-alternatives switch can't work when 3d is not enabled, and with user applications using mesa-specific features. [ upstream changes ] Version 5.1.38 (2018-05-09) Linux hosts: support Linux 4.17 changes. Thank you Larry Finger Linux guests: support Linux 4.16 and EL 7.5 kernels (bugs #17676 and #17678) Linux guests: 3D fixes for recent guests (bug #17623) Version 5.1.36 (2018-04-17) VMM: Fixed missing NULL pointer check in MMIO code. Network: fixed VERR_INTNET_FLT_IF_NOT_FOUND when bridging to some adapters on Windows hosts (possibly related bugs #15294, #15060, #13481) [Other info] After performing an "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" on a Ubuntu 16.04.4 box, graphics fails to start. I use my laptop with text boot, then I log in and issue "startx", with "/usr/lib/gnome-flashback/gnome-flashback-metacity" in my ~/.xinitrc file. After update, "startx" (Xorg) returns me to character prompt. Same with KDE, and while WMaker seemed to start, I still couldn't run apps like Firefox or Konsole. Tinkering with my system for about two hours I managed to figure out that this behaviour is caused by some Virtualbox package. After issuing "apt-get purge virtualbox*", the normal behaviour returned. Fortunately I don't use Virtualbox, it was installed 'just in case', so I could remove it without affecting everyday usage. But it seems that something in Virtualbox is seriously broken. A cut from apt's history.log after upgrade and before package removal: virtualbox:amd64 (5.0.40-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2, 5.1.34-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2) virtualbox-dkms:amd64 (5.0.40-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2, 5.1.34-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2) virtualbox-guest-additions-iso:amd64 (5.0.40-0ubuntu1.16.04.1, 5.1.34-0ubuntu1.16.04.2) virtualbox-guest-dkms:amd64 (5.0.40-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2, 5.1.34-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2) virtualbox-guest-utils:amd64 (5.0.40-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2, 5.1.34-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2) virtualbox-guest-x11:amd64 (5.0.40-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2, 5.1.34-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2) virtualbox-qt:amd64 (5.0.40-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2, 5.1.34-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2)
