7.0.10 Windwos 10 guest - black screen (does boot fine)

Post by Xil »

hi

VB 7.0.10 was rolled out today for Opensuse Tumbleweed, so did the install and updated the extension pack, booted the Windows 10 guest and got a black desktop. It did boot fine as an ACPI shutdown made it shutdown gracefully.

Rolled back to 7.0.8, booted up, uninstalled the guest addon 7.0.8 and shut it down.

Installed 7.0.10 and booted it up, got a desktop just fine, but of course small size as no dirvers.

Added the 7.0.10 guess addon iso and installed the drivers, during install the desktop became black again. Waited a bit, pressed enter a few times as I expected the guess addon to offer a reboot and indeed it did but sadly black desktop again.

The display settings are VboxSVGA and 3D is off.
So not 100 sure where to look or what logs would be helpful.

Regards, Xil

Please provide a VM log file. Make sure the VM is fully shut down, then right click it in the manager UI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (no other file) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.
