Login loop using virtualbox with 3D acceleration

[BertN45]

Since Tuesday 20-3-2018 Ubuntu Budgie 18.04 has a login loop. Before that date everything worked fine. The login loop occurs in a Virtualbox guest while 3D is enabled for the display.

On the same data Ubuntu 18.04 refused to show the login screen, but I will file a seperate bug report for it. In its last display it said it started the Display Manager, but no login screen was displayed. Maybe the bugs are related.

The LightdmDisplayLog.txt looks suspicious:

  pci id for fd 14: 80ee:beef, driver (null)
  EGL_MESA_drm_image required.

Does the problem still occur in the final/latest release of 18.04?
