Error Enable 3D Acceleration in Virtualbox.

[Malus]

When I try to Enable 3D Acceleration enabled in the VMs, I get the following message:

" This VM was configured to use 3D acceleration. However, the 3D support of the host is not working properly and the VM cannot be started. To fix this problem, either fix the host 3D support (update the host graphics driver?) or disable 3D acceleration in the VM settings (VERR_NOT_AVAILABLE).

My graphics card is ATI / AMD Integrated ATI Raedon 3300 and I have installed the proprietary drivers 13.1 Legacy. My OS is Linux Mint 13 64 bits based on Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS.

I think I have correctly installed the proprietary drivers and I have also installed Video Hardware Acceleration...

Note : In the version 4.2.18 this did not happen, working properly ..

Thanks ..

Please run VBoxTestOGL --test 3d --log /path/to/logfile.log, amd attach the generated logfile here.

[misha]

So it seems like 3D test fails for your VMs for some reason. Are you using VirtualGL or some other 3D redirection software on your host?

Could you run your VM with VBOXGLTEST_LOG=/path/to/logfile_prefix environment set, e.g. from the console do:

VBOXGLTEST_LOG=/path/to/logfile_prefix VirtualBox --startvm <vm_name>

This should generate one or more /path/to/logfile_prefix*.log files.
Please attach the generated log files here.

Hi misha,

Some time, I have installed 3D application Compiz ( Windows Manager) even though I have enabled default window manager ("Mate").

Could this be the cause of the conflict ..?

Thanks ..

Hmm, what exactly? Neither Compiz nor Mate nor any other window manager should cause it actually, although VirtualGL could. Could you post here the logs generated with using VBOXGLTEST_LOG environment var as I described above?

[Malus]

Ok misha i open the terminal and i wrote:

VBOXGLTEST_LOG=/home/hector/virtual_log/logfile_prefix VirtualBox --startvm Xubuntu13.10

The result is in the attachment (above)

I have exactly the same problem, but with VirtualBox 4.2.22. I am running a laptop with Kubuntu 12.04 with a ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT and the fglrx binary drivers from ATI.

I attached the logs as requested to the original bug reporter, namely the following files:

Everything was working fine before updating to VirtualBox 4.22, including the 3D setting.

I have the same problem, described in the first post.

Using the AMD Catalyst legacy driver, in 64-bit versions, of Lubuntu 12.04 and elementary OS (Ubuntu 12.04 based) after clean installs, used as hosts.

In a virtual machine, when I select "Enable 3D Acceleration", a warning appears telling:

"Invalid settings detected".

If I click on this message, I get a more detailed message:

"The virtual machine is set up to use hardware graphics acceleration. However the host system does not currently provide this, so you will not be able to start the machine".

When I try to start the virtual machine, I get the following error message:

"This VM was configured to use 3D acceleration. However, the 3D support of the host is not working properly and the VM cannot be started. To fix this problem, either fix the host 3D support (update the host graphics driver?) or disable 3D acceleration in the VM settings (VERR_NOT_AVAILABLE)".

All other 3D graphics applications, like games, second life, etc, work OK.

==> Note: In the following outputs, I inserted blank lines, to improve readability.

"==>" denotes an important thing:

As root, when I run /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxTestOGL --test 3d --log outpout.log, the following happens:

root@toshiba:/home/john/Downloads# /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxTestOGL --test 3d --log outpout.log

==> Segmentation fault

The end of output.log is this:

This VirtualBox bug exists, in the current stable VirtualBox version (4.3.10 r93012), and in the previous stable version (4.3.8), at least.

The end result is running virtual machines without 3D acceleration, which means most of them are very slow in graphics performance.

In case it matters, all mentioned VirtualBox installations, have the "VirtualBox Extension Pack" installed.

I added my own logs. I been having the same issue. Hope that it helps.

Do people experiencing this see output similar to this when running /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxTestOGL --test 3d?

Well... This has been naggin' me for about a year now. And suddenly it works again. Looks like they fixed it with the latest fglrx drivers or latest VirtualBox. Can't tell which.

What version of Virtualbox are/were you using (that fixed it)? I've been having this issue too (with 4.3.x) and it's getting really irritating - especially that on 4.1 it surely works.

My backtrace looks more or less the same as michael's.

[Michael Thayer]

pSz: could you please provide more details, including a log file from a virtual machine run (even an aborted one) and the precise error output and back-trace that you get?

I have the exact same dialog as a result of upgrading my Lubuntu 14.04 to an nVidia binary driver version 346.47 to support the new GeForce GTX 750 I just bought.

Running the requested command reveals that VBoxTestOGL is dying with a "buffer overflow detected" message.

I'm attaching both the output dump from that and the results of "bt full" under gdb.
