Yes, removing virtualbox-guest-x11 (or even just using update-
alternatives to undo the redirection of for x86_64-linux-
gnu_{gl,egl}_conf) restores normal function (e.g. lightdm's greeter no
longer exits due to broken opengl, so the graphical login comes up and
works).

Can you please remove virtualbox-guest-x11 and tell me if the problem is "fixed"? in case, yes, we should do some service to handle this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1762491 Title: No graphics after update, caused by virtualbox To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+bug/1762491/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1762491] Re: No graphics after update, caused by virtualbox
Thinking about how best to solve this, maybe you move update- alternatives --install/--remove calls into a start/stop actions service triggered by detection of the appropriate environment, instead of the package postinst/prerm? I think you should be able to do it with a systemd unit that has WantedBy=graphical.target, Before=graphical.target, and ConditionVirtualization=oracle. That (as long as those alternative links are left on --auto) should yield that VM image can just "do the right thing" based on what hardware it finds itself on, though it would still be a little messy in handling an unclean shutdown (you could start up with stale links still present). Probably not a big deal, since most reasonable use cases are authoring an image customers might launch different hosts, not actually migrating a dirty disk image around. ** Changed in: virtualbox (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1762491 Title: No graphics after update, caused by virtualbox To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+bug/1762491/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1762491] Re: No graphics after update, caused by virtualbox
I am seeing this as well. I'm actually hosting the VM in VMware workstation 12.5, but the scripts install both VMware and virtualbox guest tools (so that an OVA is useful in both). I have an older snapshot that does not have problems, which is using 5.0.40-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2. The OVA I built today, where X crashes on startup, got 5.1.34-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2. From https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+publishinghistory, I don't see any versions between that built for xenial to narrow it down further. Uninstalling virtualbox-guest-x11 makes the problem go away; X11 works again, at least in VMware. Presumably it would now not work in VirtualBox. It seems to be happening because virtualbox-guest-x11 is stealing the alternatives for x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf and x86_64-linux-gnu_egl_conf, even though it's GL libraries won't work *at all* on another host. 5.0.40-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2 doesn't seem to have alternatives for these, much less high-priority defaults for them. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1762491 Title: No graphics after update, caused by virtualbox To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+bug/1762491/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
