3D acceleration makes Linux Mint 19 Cinnamon hang

Post by Morgorth »

Hi everyone,

A few days ago I add hyper V to my windows, causing some problems to my VM. I removed it and took the oppotunity to upgrade to the last VBox, 6.1.4
Unfortunately my linux Mint 19 Cinnamon has been having problems ever since, Cinnamon crashing and the VM just bein unusable for slowness. It also often crashes when I resize. By default, my VM started on VMSVGA without 3D accel.
I figure out that was the issue from my reading of this forum.
However, when I tick 3D accel, the machine can't start, it shows the mint logo but then stays black and constantly resizes.
I did install the guest additions. tried to refresh drivers with ubuntu-drivers but it doesn't do anything.
I'm at a loss what to try.

My host is win 10, graphic card nvidia GTX 1060, attached are the logs
