#12505 fixed dkms autorebuild vboxvideo fails on minimal linux guest -> fixed as of 13 Feb 2014 for version 4.2.x and later Gary Humenuk
Description

On a Linux guest with no X server installed, as expected, vboxvideo fails to build. Unfortunately, dkms attempts to rebuild all guest kernel modules including vboxvideo during every reboot. This adds a serious delay for each reboot and failure messages in the logs. The system should simply ignore vboxvideo if X is not installed.

Actual result: dkms rebuilds additions on every guest reboot

Expected result: dkms rebuilds additions only when kernel changes

Additional details on test system: VirtualBox 4.3.4 Host Fedora 19 x86_64 Guest CentOS 6.5 both i386 and x86_64

To reproduce exactly:

Install a CentOS 6.5 using the minimal selection

Do not update yet

Install gc bzip2 and kernel-devel for installed kernel.

Mount guest additions

mount /dev/sr0 /mnt

Install guest additions

cd /mnt; ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

reboot

update operating system to get latest kernel

reboot

Work Around: Add a check to /opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-4.3.2/src/vboxguest-4.3.2/Makefile to ignore vboxvideo if the X command is not installed.

Comment out the three vboxvideo related lines in /opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-4.3.2/src/vboxguest-4.3.2/dkms.conf

There is probably a better way. This worked for me.

#15055 fixed dkms and rcvboxdrv are not working in 5.0.14 -> believed fixed in releases higher than 5.0.14 Stéphane Charette
Description

Host is 64-bit Ubuntu 15.10. I do have DKMS installed. Upgraded today from VB 5.0.12 to 5.0.14.

Note there was a linux kernel update available in the last 24 hours, so when I upgraded VB, I noticed it upgraded the linux kernel as well.

Now when my host boots back up, VB guests wont start. It pops up a message box saying to run /sbin/rcvboxdrv setup. But when I try to run that command, even with sudo, it exits with Bad argument setup.

#1575 fixed display not working properly in FEdora Core 9 live Michal Suchanek
Description

I tried running FC 9 live cd as a guest:

http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/9/Live/i686/Fedora-9-i686-Live.iso

It went fine but the default resolution is set to something horrendously large (probably because the host system has a non-standard 1024x1280 screen resolution). The result is that about half of the guest screen is not visible.

When I log in, go to top menu System -> Preferences -> Hardware -> Screen Resolution, and set the resolution to something sane like 800x600 or 1024x768 the bottom half of the guest screen is not properly refreshed. It is black most of the time, moving the guest windows usually displays some garbage there, moving the host window sometimes refreshes the screen until the guest mouse pointer is moved.

The host is OS X 10.4
