Bug Description
Binary package hint: gsettings-
I had this working last week but I've been installing the latest iso's and have run into an interesting problem.
Install goes pretty much OK except for https:/
Now when I add the VBox extensions and reboot the display is blank. The system does boot and after the 10th install or so I have sshd installed to see what's going on.
The problem seems to be reported in syslog as:
Mar 19 14:09:04 natty2 gdm-binary[980]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.046186 seconds
Mar 19 14:09:04 natty2 gdm-simple-
Mar 19 14:09:04 natty2 acpid: client 1062[0:0] has disconnected
lshw reports:
*-display UNCLAIMED
bus info: pci@0000:00:02.0
width: 32 bits
clock: 33MHz
So I don't think it's VBox's fault.
This is a clean install with zsync'ed live CD today 3/19/2011. Happens with both 32 and 64 bit versions.
I think I've found a more descriptive error message in /var/log/gdm/:0.log
(II) Loading /usr/lib/ xorg/modules/ drivers/ vboxvideo_ drv.so
(II) Module vboxvideo: vendor="Oracle Corporation"
compiled for 1.5.99.901, module version = 1.0.1
(EE) module ABI major version (9) doesn't match the server's version (10)
(II) Unloading vboxvideo
(EE) Failed to load module "vboxvideo" (module requirement mismatch, 0)
(EE) No drivers available.
Although Virtual Box running on Lucid shows no updates. I'll see what I can find.
Attached is the gdm log
