Linux host opengl not supported with nvidia 343 and 346

Trying to enable 3d acceleration gives invalid setting error.

Host: Ubuntu 14.04 amd64, Geforce GTX970M, tried both nvidia-343 and nvidia-346 driver

Running 'VBoxTestOGL --test 3d' core dumps:

Core dump

FWIW: other opengl apps runs just fine (blender, glxgears)

Guess I forgot to write: vbox 4.3.18

Please attach a log file from a virtual machine run on that system. And would you be able to either provide us with access to a full core dump<1> or install a debug build with symbol information<2> following the instructions on the test build page<3> and reproduce it with that? Note that this is a build from the unstable tree, so please do not use it for production purposes.

OK cannot attach the core dump due to its size. Do you have an email where we could send it ?

I'm thinking of some kind of integer overflow which could explain this bug, as these new graphic cards embed 4 GB of RAM.

Hello,

I've uploaded the file there so that you could download it (available for one week) : ​http://wikisend.com/download/510442/apportvb.tar.gz

Adding gojul's attachments from duplicate ticket #13626. Ticket summary:

Hi,

I've switched my graphics card from GeForce 760 to GeForce 970, and since then VMs do not start anymore unless I disable 3D acceleration.

Error message is : Échec de l'ouverture de session pour la machine virtuelle Windows 8.

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).

Code d'erreur : NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) Composant : Console Interface : IConsole {8ab7c520-2442-4b66-8d74-4ff1e195d2b6}

I'm using Kubuntu 14.04 with NVidia binary driver 343.22 installed from ppa mmarley (GPU support still not available w/ the drivers from 14.04 (will be available after hardware update support which will occur next February). You can pick up these drivers from this page : ​http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/xorg-edgers/trusty/main/base/nvidia-343

The fun fact is that I did not do anything with drivers. My system used the same NVidia 343 driver with my previous GeForce and all was fine.

Here's my system : Kubuntu 14.04.1 LTS x64 Intel Core i7 4790 Asus Z97-A 16 GB RAM NVidia GeForce 970 w/ NVidia 343.22 driver"

Attached VBoxTestOGL output. Note that my GPU has 4 GB RAM.<1> VirtualBox test log<2>

Could you re-check with VBox 4.3.20? We added a fix which should prevent the crash.

[gojul]

Fixed with VirtualBox 4.3.20, many thanks. :-)

Thanks for the feedback!
