Lubuntu 17.04 i686 guest and Extensions / OpenGL

rdtsc · Post by **rdtsc** » 6. May 2017, 22:58

Okay I installed this guest with 3D acceleration enabled, updated, then installed the VirtualBox Extensions. Checked drivers, extensions not enabled. Enabled, saved, and screen goes black, then changes resolution repeatedly. Forced reboot through shutdown signal, seems to work fine. Check drivers, enabled. Use apt-get to install Paraview, no issues. Try running it, and have numerous OpenGL-related issues during 3D rendering. No 3D acceleration for any app. Reinstall Extensions, drivers and software update window refused to display. Re-re-installed Extensions, things seem to be "normal" again, but still no 3D accel.

Thinking it may have been this particular install, created a second one. Experienced same behavior more-or-less. Extensions not installing properly, not being enabled, drivers and software update window refusing to display, black screen and resolution changing, etc.

Host is Windows 7 x64, video device is the 'Kabini' AMD APU (Radeon HD 8400 / R3 Series.) Here is what I've summized:

Any ideas on what I can try? Thanks much for looking.
