3D Support in ubuntu 14.04.1 guest.

[DavyJohnes]

Hello all!
I have installed VB 4.3.14 on Windows 8.1 x64 host and there is a problem with 3D support in ubuntu guest system. I've made clean install ubuntu recently, installed dkms and guest additions and enabled 3D support in VM settings.
After reboot, ubuntu shows logon screen, but when I try to login VM crashes with this "Software error" message. Log file says:

I guess that happens because of VB detects GDI Generic instead of my real GPU (Intel HD Graphics 4000). So, why does this happens? How can I force VB to use Intel HD graphics?

P.S.: I'm connected to Host and Guest system directly, RDP is not used.

I can confirm this, I am observing exactly the same issue, with Intel HD 4600 (latest driver 10.18.10.3621)

Using VB 4.3.12 , the correct verndor-specific OpenGL driver is used :
00:00:27.446361 OpenGL Info: Render SPU: GL_VENDOR: Intel
00:00:27.446378 OpenGL Info: Render SPU: GL_RENDERER: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600
00:00:27.446381 OpenGL Info: Render SPU: GL_VERSION: 4.2.0 - Build 10.18.10.3621

(proving the host's driver is there)

There seems to be some issue of VB 4.3.14 not finding vendor's OpenGL and falling back to MS default on machines with IntelHD Graphics.

This issue usually happens when you have dual graphics and a laptop. They have a low res version to conserve power and a high res version that supports higher graphics. Needless to say this is addressable on the host machine side and VirtualBox will only use what it is being offered.

[Bueffel]

I at least do Not have a Laptop or dual graphics. And it worked with previous VB versions, so it is a bug or compatibility issue with vb 4.3.14

[Perryg]

Bugs are to be reported to bugtracker

[DavyJohnes]

So, is there any idea how to fix it?

I didn't find a solution yet. What I am doing now is using VB 4.3.12 , but with guest addons 4.3.14. This combination at least claims 3D support, and unity compatibility test

/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p

says "yes" to everything and gives me Chromium as renderer, UI is smooth. Using guest addons 4.3.12 say "no" to 3d support, and is noticably slow.
However, GPUtest-Tool exits with a seg-fault, glxgears gives about 120 Frames/s (is that what you expect on an i7 machine?)
Programs I compile with QT run but give a lot of messages, of which I am not certain wether they are "normal" or not (errors about vboxvideo driver are normal, I read somewhere here).
