[Bug 1759452] Re: Xorg doesn't start after update on VMs - vboxvideo_drv.so missing

[Wolf]

This problem (still or again) occurs with ubu 18.04 (host), 18.10 (guest) and 
virtualbox 5.2.18.
After installing the guest additions at the host, the guest system will boot, 
but x server will crash and state 
"Warning, couldn't open module vboxvideo".

Modprobe vboxvideo will load the module, nevertheless X server will
crash with the same message.

I solved the issue by downgrading virtualbox-guest-x11 and virtualbox-
guest-utils downto 5.0.18-dfsg-2build1

That file doesn't exist anymore since now we have a kernel module and the *GL 
stuff for this 3d.
apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms should bring that vboxvideo for you

I can run a VM with only 2D perfectly fine (using X). Do you use Wayland
or X? Can you uncomment 'WaylandEnable = false' in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
and check if it works for you.

Sorry, I thought you run Ubuntu 18.04, but it's Ubuntu 16.04. Please
ignore my comment.

[Bug 1759452] Re: Xorg doesn't start after update on VMs

[Daniel Rocher]

A workaround is possible : enable 3D support in settings/display/enable
3D acceleration (VirtualBox interface)

In this case, the vboxvideo_dri.so driver is used instead of the
vboxvideo_drv.so driver (which is missing).

For me, it works on all my VMs

Compare file list for packages (vboxvideo_drv.so missing in xenial-updates):
 https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/virtualbox-guest-x11/filelist
 https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial-updates/amd64/virtualbox-guest-x11/filelist


In the update, vboxvideo_drv.so is missing. Why ???

In debian/rules for update, there is a comment :
#   debian/$(uxname)/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vboxvideo_drv.so

Why this change has been introduced?

** Summary changed:

- Xorg doesn't start after update on VMs
+ Xorg doesn't start after update on VMs - vboxvideo_drv.so missing
