Description of problem: Rawhide boots to a black graphical screen in VirtualBox. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virtualbox-guest-additions-6.0.6-1.fc31.x86_64 kernel-5.1.0-0.rc7.git4.1.fc31.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Simply boot the virtual machine. 2. 3. Actual results: Boots to a black screen instead of the slick-greeter login (for MATE). Expected results: Should boot to the slick-greeter graphical login. Additional info: Launching a virtual console (Ctl-Alt-F2) and killing lightdm fixes the problem. This issue may have existed in the kernel before the one shown above, this is simply the one I fist noticed the problem with. This issue didn't exist with the kernel that was current a few weeks ago.
I can confirm (from a backed up VM) that kernel-5.1.0-0.rc6.git2.1.fc31.x86_64 did not exhibit this problem.
I'm not seeing the issue with latest kernel-5.1.0-1.fc31.x86_64 but that doesn't mean the underlying issue has been addressed of course.
(In reply to Ian Laurie from comment #2) > I'm not seeing the issue with latest kernel-5.1.0-1.fc31.x86_64 but that > doesn't mean the underlying issue has been addressed of course. why ? seems it is fixed . May I close this bug ? Thanks for testing and reporting
I don't believe it is fixed, I think it is some sort of race condition and I think this will come and go with different kernels until is is specifically addressed. In any event close it off and I'll reopen it later if required. In hindsight I think it is a kernel issue rather than a VirtualBox driver issue, we've seen problems before similar to this that have been the kernel.
I dont know if this is related to this bug F31 kernel 5.1.0-1 as guest in VirtualBox 6.0.6 (KDE spin) (Host F30) Change screen resolution in guest does not work, after res. change it jumps immediately back to previous resolution. Then maybe suddenly after a guest reboot it changes resolution from default 800x600 to something else but can still not changes the resolution. Mouse pointer position is corrupted after trying changing resolution, can be fixed by HOSTkey + Fx going to Virtual console and back to GUI. Knud

For me this bug is not solved Problem as described in comment #5 and #9 still persist Shall I open a new bug ?
OK reopen it . I see new messages in vbox-users-community.net with [VBox-users] Virtualbox display can't be moved (since recent update?) is the same problem ?
From reading that problem "display can't be moved ....." No I dont't think it is related or the same. As described in comment #5 Additional info: Host actions works perfect. Changing resolution by resizing the vbox window from the HOST, can be resize but the display area used by the guest stays the same. Changing resolution from the guest (KDE spin F31 kernel 5.1.0-1 f31.x86_64 or f31 kernel 5.2.0-0.rc0.git.1) You a short flickering and the resolution stays the same, mouse position (actual compared to visible) is corrupted. Can partly be restored by shifting to fullscreen console in the guest by HOST+F2 =>HOST+F1 I have tried Guest desktops both Gnome, Cinnamon, either do the same or give an error. It are complete fresh guest F31 installs HOST is F30 ...but I dont believe it matters because problem was also with older F28 HOST Using VboxSVGA, have tried the 2 other vbox display adapters VMSVGAm VboxVGA, does not affect the problem. What logs shall I provide ?

There are still problems. Screen resizing doesn't always work (usually doesn't) and now attempting to resize a screen breaks mouse integration (similar symptoms to that reported by Knud Christiansen). kernel-5.2.0-0.rc1 virtualbox-guest-additions-6.0.8-2.fc31 Getting a virtual console and killing lightdm will bring everything back until you try and resize the screen again. Fedora 30 does not have these problems.
Please see upstream VirtualBox ticket 18677[1], which Knud opened at my request. [1]https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/18677
@Michael Thanks I've added information to the upstream ticket after trying the test build VirtualBox-6.0.9-130970-Win.
For me VirtualBox test build VirtualBox-6.0.9-131183 fixes the issue completely.
(In reply to Ian Laurie from comment #23) > For me VirtualBox test build VirtualBox-6.0.9-131183 fixes the issue > completely. Cool , it will be available on Fedora when 6.0.10 is released Thanks for the report and testing
I can confirm that guest additions 6.0.9-131183.iso works in Linux F31 kernel 5.2.0-0.rc3.git0.1 as guest under F30 kernel 5.1.6-300.fc30.x86_64 Thank you :) Knud

virtualbox-guest-additions-6.0.10 fixes the issues against the 5.2.x kernel but unfortunately Rawhide has moved to 5.3.x and again things are broken. Upstream drives won't compile against kernel-5.3.0-0.rc0.git4.1.fc31.x86_64.
I can confirm Ian's observation
But it works with vboxguest + vboxvideo modules include in the kernel package (5.3.x) Unfortunately I can see which vbox guest-additions version theese modules are based on
"Unfortunately I can NOT see"
I can state categorically the kernel vboxvideo driver isn't working here on a Win 8.1 host. On the other hand the failure isn't as miserable as some in the past. I am not losing mouse integration, I am not getting black screens, and I don't have to grab a virtual console and restart lightdm to make things usable. Basically what I am seeing is virtualbox is "remembering" the last good screen size, and if I try and deviate from that, I get [for example] scroll bars..... but the screen and mouse within the visible screen work, and the scroll bars work. and if I resize back to what it was things appear perfect again. So basically it's not working for me, but it isn't failing as badly as it used to. @Knud you're on a Linux host correct? Maybe that's the difference here.
yes host is F30 The symptoms you describe sounds similar what I have seen earlier I have a I7 laptop with win7 as host....will give it a try there... will report back...
Tested: Host: WIN7 updated, Virtualbox 6.0.10 incl. extensions Guest: F31 KDE spin Live 20190717 iso, running live as guest Virtualbox host tells that guest is using additions 6.0.8 Everything works without any problem
@Ian I have sent you an email...got rejected in your spam filter...please check
@Knud Nothing my end but I don't have a spam filter running locally that would bounce back to you, not sure what went wrong, must be at the ISP level?
I did a "dnf reinstall kernel*" to be sure but same issues, and I don't have Oracle's drivers on that box, so not sure why it's failing for me and working for you.
Email...Your ISP is really "aggressive" 5 different mail domains, 4 different mailservers....all get rejected
@Knud Traditionally that's not the case. Let me contact you via a web mail address, that bypasses them.
kernel-5.3.0-0.rc0.git4.1.fc31.x86_64 with virtualbox-guest-additions-6.0.8-2.fc31.x86_64 (and default kernel drivers) on a Win7 host seems to work. Not getting the issues I saw on the Win8.1 box. After updating to kernel-5.3.0-0.rc0.git7.1.fc31.x86_64 it still seems to work. I'll move this working VM to the Win8.1 box to see if it still works there.
Just as a reminder, reporting issues which can be reproduced with upstream VirtualBox builds directly on virtualbox.org is appreciated. (Binaries preferred over own builds for reproducing things, as they eliminate a few more unknowns; this does not necessarily apply to people willing to do their own source-level debugging.)
@Michael I did report the failure of the 6.0.10 drivers not building against kernel 5.3.0-0.rc0.git4.1.fc31.x86_64 here: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=93944 The VM that was working correctly on Win7 works when I moved it to Win8.1 which is perplexing. The only difference between the VMs that I can think of is that the working one never had Oracle's upstream drivers installed on it. However they were cleanly uninstalled using the uninstall.sh and the kernel* was reinstalled for good measure after. So I cannot explain it. In any case I am now observing the same working behavior that Knud reported in comment 36.

But kernel modules build problems, we show move to RPMFusion https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&component=VirtualBox since most probably is for VirtualBox server and not for vboxsf.ko , vboxsf.ko is the only module that isn't in include in Fedora kernel for guest adittions.
