VirtualBox 7 Beta 3 Seamless Mode Broken

Post by csmccarron »

Tried out VirtualBox 7 Beta 3 today. I wanted to see if Seamless mode had been fixed when running a Windows 10 Host & Guest. It has not been fixed, it is still broken. Shows the Guest Desktop and not the host desktop.

I also had issues getting the Guest Editions installed. It is still reporting v6.1.38 in the system tray, and it took multiple attempts to get them installed and working. I tried to install them with 3D Acceleration installed and that is when I had the most trouble. I could not get shared files working and all the virtualbox devices did not have drivers installed in the guest.

With 3D Acceleration disabled, all of the virtualbox devices have drivers except for the TPM 2.0 device.

There was a signing/packaging issue for the Guest Additions drivers in BETA3 which is fixed in the ISO available at Development Snapshots. 7.0.0 revision 153872 or later is fixed.

Just get the additions from there, don't use the host package.

For the signing problem, I had also to boot in advanced mode , using F7 key (boot without signing control)
After that all was installing with Beta 3 one: build 153829.

Was able to get the drivers to install by disabling the Signature check.

Now if I just knew how to fix seamless mode. :roll:

Thank you.
