Linux guest aborts in VRDP, OpenGL mural warning

[Citryphus]

As of 4.3.8 my Fedora 20 guest (Windows 8.1 host) is aborting when I launch Komodo IDE within the VRDP connection. If I launch Komodo with the VM running directly it does not abort. VBox.log attached.

Am I correct that the issue does NOT happpen with VBox 4.3.6 ? Your host does not have Hardware-Accelerated OpenGL support based on the log,

00:00:00.299917 OpenGL Info: Render SPU: GL_VENDOR:   Microsoft Corporation
00:00:00.299930 OpenGL Info: Render SPU: GL_RENDERER: GDI Generic
00:00:00.299933 OpenGL Info: Render SPU: GL_VERSION:  1.1.0

which could be either because you do not have OpenGL drivers installed on your host, or your host user session is not connected to a physical console (e.g. you are connected via RDP to your HOST).
We will make sure VBox does not crash in this case, however since guest 3D acceleration relies on host OpenGL hardware acceleration, you won't have guest 3D working unless you fix the HOST OpenGL support.

I did not have this problem in 4.3.6. I can confirm it's still a problem in 4.3.10. I don't understand your explanation. The app (Komodo IDE) launches without aborting the guest in direct viewing, but the guest aborts when running headless and connected through VRDP. How is insufficient host OpenGL support causing a problem in the latter case but not in the former case?

Anyway, disabling 3D acceleration has resolved the problem.

This indeed occurs with 3D accelleration enabled, linux guest additions installed, and starting the guest vm from a host I am connecting to via RDP. Don't know for sure which virtualbox versions I tried, but they were at least 4.3.2, 4.3.8 and 4.3.10. Ubuntu versions in the VM I tested are 12.10, 13.10 and 14.04. All crash virtualbox when I login to the guest console gui. Also see this forum thread: ​https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=60859 The last post from cepal sums it up correctly.

It looks like this is resolved in VirtualBox 4.3.22. For me, the guest does not crash anymore upon login with the guest additions installed. Can anyone else test?
