Display error with Ubuntu guest and MacOS Sonoma host

[schiotz]

Hi,

I have a problem with the display on my Linux hosts on a MacBook Pro model 2019. As I move the mouse, the screen switches between being normal and looking like the attached screenshot. I see it both on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and a newly installed Ubuntu 24.04 LTS guests.
I have the newest Guest Additions installed (7.0.18) .The 22.04 version I could revert to an old snapshot with some old 6.X Guest Additions installed, then it works fine!

Any suggestions for fixing this?

Follow-up to my own post:

For what it is worth, I see this problem with Ubuntu guests, not with Lubuntu which runs a different graphics system.

I can't tell from the corrupted screen at what stage this problem arises, i.e. before or after User Login is attempted. If after login, is attempted, are the Ubuntu VM's being launched into a Wayland session (now the default for Ubuntu) when this problem occurs? If so then try switching to 'X', or Xwayland, if it's provided, before Login. VirtualBox 7.0.xx isn't fully compatible with Wayland.

If this isn't the problem, then a 'zipped' copy of the VBox.log file will be needed by any Forum user attempting to identify the cause of the problem and possible solutions.
