7.0.2: Linux-Guests with 3D-accelaration broken

Post by fourseasons »

Here is my feedback to the new VirtualBox-Version:

I've upgraded to 7.0.2. I've 4 VMs, 1 x Windows 10 and 3 x Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, Mint)
The Windows-VM starts fine. The three Linux-VMs break.

Disabeling 3D-acceleration makes the Linux-VMs starts again.

Going back to 6.1.40, all VMs start and run with 3D-acceleration.
The behaviour is the same with GuestAddition 6.1.40 and 7.0.2

I'm running the latest Monterrey version on an Intel MacBook Pro 2020.

Just be very wary of upgrading your Mac to Ventura until you see improvements in the stability of the VirtualBox 7.0.x series announced/confirmed. The 6.1.x version is unlikely to work in Ventura because of the security changes which have implemented by Apple; and these are being addressed by changes in VirtualBox 7.
