EFI - unable to install (#18282)
ModEdit; related ticket: #18282: EFI shell not shown when VMSVGA or VBoxSVGA is chosen. No installation is possible.
Host KDE Neon 5.13 (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS)
CPU AMD RS-427BB (HP T730 Thin Client)
Version 6.0.0 r127566 (Qt5.6.1)
Guest Windows 10 Pro
When creating any VM EFI screen never appears, therefore unable to install guest. Log attached.
Thanks

Re: EFI - unable to install
I don't see you booting from an ISO/DVD, but from a VMDK virtual hard disk. On an external USB# hard drive. Why VMDK? Where's the bootable medium?00:00:01.784763 File system of '/media/ggrobard/My Passport/VMs/Win10/Win10.vmdk' is fuse

Re: EFI - unable to install
VMDK just a disk file format. Makes it easier to move to ESXi. Issue happens with native VDI as well.
Issue happens with our without bootable media. (Media I'm using does work with without EFI enabled)
All I ever get is a black screen. I never see the Virtualbox EFI screen.
Uploaded a new log to prove my point.
Thanks.

Re: EFI - unable to install
Can you try changing the VGA type from VMSVGA to VBoxVGA and see if that changes anything.

My crystal ball is currently broken. If you want assistance you are going to have to give me all of the necessary information.
Please don't ask me to do your homework for you, I have more than enough of my own things to do.

I know now what your problem is, if you weren't too shy on words, I could have spotted it earlier. If you had simply said "I created a new Win10 VM" I would have known:S3th64 wrote:All I ever get is a black screen. I never see the Virtualbox EFI screen.
You have the VBoxSVGA option on. See: VMSVGA and VBoxSVGA not working with EFI guest.00:00:01.351180 VMSVGAEnabled <integer> = 0x0000000000000001 (1)

Re: EFI - unable to install
And since 1) nobody did the honors, and 2) we are out of the beta, i.e. we can file tickets; ticket #18282: EFI shell not shown when VMSVGA or VBoxSVGA is chosen.
EDIT/UPDATE: I also tried to install a Win10-Oct1809 and an OSX 10.8.5 guest. No go... I filed the report too soon I guess, I should amend it with "No installation is possible".

Re: EFI - unable to install (#18282)
Changing to VBoxVGA works around the issue I was having. Thanks for the help. Look forward to the bug fix.
