[7.0.14] Crash when using 3D acceleration

[ShadeLight]

Hi, I can't figure out what's the issue:

• win 11 host
• Fedora 39 (last iso just installed and updated)
• guest loads until login screen, then crash or freeze on the first interaction (clicking my username)
• works ok without 3D acceleration

See attached log for more info. Any suggestions? thanks

Just took the time to check the kernel logs on the guest.

While running without 3D acceleration:

There are strange interruptions and repeated attempts at service creation, not sure if that's ok. Note the only line colored red in dmesg: "vboxsf: Unknown parameter 'tag'"

While running with 3D acceleration:
The kernel log stops after 3 seconds, so nothing of interest there.

[lordavatar1234]

A couple thoughts -

1. The posted vbox.log says you are using Guest Additions 6.0.0 with your Fedora VM. Generally speaking, the build of Guest Additions you are supposed to use should match the build of Virtual Box you are using. Ergo, if you are running Virtual Box 7.0.14, you should install Guest Additions 7.0.14 in the VM. This is particularly important, as the Virtual Box 7.x series included a major rewrite of the graphics backend to utilize Vulkan / DX11 when 3D acceleration is enabled.

2. Your kernel log from the Fedora VM indicates you are running Fedora with a Linux 6.7.x kernel. Even the latest Virtual Box Guest Additions (i.e. 7.0.14), as per the Virtual Box changelog, is only compatible up to Linux 6.6.x kernels. Ergo, I would not expect the graphics drivers component of Guest Additions 7.0.14 will work with said 6.7.x Linux kernel, to say nothing of the even older Guest Additions 6.0.0 that you have installed.

Accordingly, my suggestion(s) would be -

- Downgrade the Linux kernel in your Fedora VM to 6.6.x or older; and
- Install Guest Additions 7.0.14 in the Fedora VM.
