#Virtualbox arch enps03 install#

I'm just wondering out loud if this is an Arch kernel issue? I've attached my log file if that's any help at all.

#Virtualbox arch enps03 install#

However, I don't have this issue with an Arch-Cinnamon VM install from some months back (yes, it is regularly updated), or with either of my Debian-based installs. I deleted the VM and did a fresh Arch install again with Cinnamon, and same problem. VMSVGA3d: cap=failed rc=VERR_INVALID_PARAMETER! įWIW this is happening on only my newest Arch-Cinnamon install, plus the errors appear in my Arch-Mate install as well.

Looking at the log files from both the successful bootup (ie, software rendering mode) and the failed attempt (ie, with 3D box checked), I can see error messages complaining about the graphics environment from the fail. So I have to shutdown the VM using VB shutdown command from the menu. Trying to even clic on the terminal icon produces no result (that is, you can see it flash but there is nothing on the display). Once in, I am greeted with a blank (all white) screen with on the Cinnamon panel visible at the bottom. When exiting the VM, going back into Settings and checking the 3D Acceleration box, upon booting I get to the LightDM display manager ok and type my password to enter. In Settings > Display when I choose VMSVGA as the graphics controller but do NOT check the 'Enable 3D Acceleration' box, I can boot into the system but Cinnamon desktop will complain of running in software rendering mode.of course this is expected behaviour. But here goes:Īs of late (the last three weeks or so) I've been having issues when booting into one of my Arch VM's using Cinnamon DE. I'm not sure if I should even be posting this here as I'm not sure it's a Virtualbox issue or an Arch kernel problem. Two Debian installs (one LMDE and one straight Debian with 'non free drivers') Guest VM's: Three vanilla Arch installs, two with Cinnamon DE, one with Mate.
