Add new Extensions Packages crashes with Wayland

Post by BrnVrn »

I have upgraded recently to Fedora 25 where Wayland is used by default.
All packages are up-to-date, I am using VirtualBox 5.1.10
Uname: Linux laptop 4.8.8-300.fc25.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Nov 15 18:10:06 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

When I click on:
  1. Menu: Preferences
  2. Tab: Extensions
  3. Button: Adds new package.
VirtualBox crashes.

It works if I choose "Gnome Xorg" when opening the Linux session.

Have you reported the bug to the Fedora/Wayland developers?
