Sorry but if that line has *never* been "true". If it is that way (I don't want to say otherwise, because I can't check mint), this is a change that comes from mint developers, something I'm really not interested at all, unless they come to me asking to integrate/fix something. Feel free to

I am truly sorry Locutus but I have no interest in pursuing this bug any further: my issues were fully addressed and my rig is back to full functionality (and I more a of "an advanced user" than a developer of OS software and/or apps). I think you ought to contact them directly. Even if you are

I'm seriously more interested in the Ubuntu 18.04 and virtualbox 5.2, as well as the mint that will result from that combination. Please ask mint people to try re-enabling for the upcoming release, and test in a vm too :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu

Hi, Locutus I went to the Mint forums and there is already a thread open on the virtualbox-guest-utils package and yes, it seems that the issue was related to a "buggy" virtualbox-guest-utils. The issue was solved on Mint 18.x by the removal of the said package triggered by updating the Update

Hello, can you please get in touch with mint people? I don't know what can be this issue, for sure the guest utils should not be a reason for this. I would like to understand if they have some changes wrt graphic libraries or similar, maybe they have a different GL library or X server? -- You
