[Solved] Win10-64 crashes at startup on Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic)

[Melix2]

Hello,

Upgraded to Ubuntu bionic last day and hasn't been able to get my VM up and running since then. Vbox+VM(same) were working fine in 16.04, e.g. before upgrade. The VM, windows 10 x64, crashes during boot; the state is reported as "Aborted", however, once in a while I do see the error message from windows "user/password incorrect" before crash. Logs and vbox are attached.

Some additional information. Vbox is running in vncserver+fluxbox, thus everything is through RDP (not possible to test on the server itself).

FYI tried to solve it on IRC; the following was tried:

• Upgrade to test version VirtualBox-5.2.11-122401-Linux_amd64.run and its matching ExtPack, Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.2.10-122406.vbox-extpack
• Change core to 2 (before 4)
• Remove all guest additions iso's, and use inbuilt
• Disable Hyper-V (:None) (before default)
• Enabled xHCI (before usb 1)
• Disabled sound

I am also seeing these warnings in my terminal:

Code: Select all

:/$ virtualbox
Qt WARNING: Qt: XKEYBOARD extension not present on the X server.
Qt WARNING: Could not initialize OpenGL for RasterGLSurface, reverting to RasterSurface.

Okay. So I spend some time investigating the Qt Warnings, and guess what... They were originating from a combination of a bad vncserver and VBOX. So they explanined why the VM crashed. The faulty vncserver is tightvncserver, v 1.3.10 installed from Bionic. I changed to tigervncserver 1.7.0. I don't see the warning anymore and also the VM with win10-64 works as expected.

Thanks for the help @socratis

I saw that and I went: "Where's my post? Am I missing something? When did I help?" but then it hit me that we were going back and forth for an hour over IRC!!!

Really glad you got it resolved! Hope it can help others in similar cases. Qt, huh? Interesting...

Marking as [Solved].
