8 years ago I've been having the same problem. For me, it will break even trying to switch from tty7 to tty1 and back. I think this is related to #16321.
I think the issue has to do with kernel compatibility see https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/7536.

8 years ago I think we may just need to update VirtualBox to 5.0.22:

8 years ago I've upgraded virtualbox and the guest-additions to 5.0.24 but the problem remains.
For me xorg also crashes when switching from tty7 to tty1 and back. This is the log at the time of the crash:

8 years ago I'm using VirtualBox 5.0.24 and nixos-unstable. I have had the same issue (X crashes when loading vboxmouse) and needed to turn off the guest option to be able to run X.
Would love a fix for this!

8 years ago I am having the same problem and can confirm that setting virtualisation.virtualbox.guest.enable to false allows X to start again.

8 years ago I am running nixos 16.03 under virtual box 5.0.24 r108355 (the latest version as of this weekend) and setting virtualisation.virtualbox.guest.enable = false in /etc/configuration.nix not work for me.

8 years ago @timsears what do you mean by "not work"?
For me:
true crashes X (with the vboxmouse error)false lets X start (but it starts without the VirtualBox guest additions obviously)
zmthy
commented
8 years ago It seems like virtualisation.virtualbox.guest.enable needs to be set to true if the VM uses UEFI to boot, otherwise you get a different crash when launching X:
(II) VESA(0): initializing int10
(EE) VESA(0): V_BIOS address 0x0 out of range
...
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usuable configuration.
(EE)
Fatal server error:
(EE) no screens found(EE)
(EE)There are references to this problem for other operating systems around the web.
My experience was that setting it to false allowed it to launch correctly on the first reboot, and then it consistently crashed every boot after that.

No screens found and Failed to load module "vboxmouse" (module does not exist)" ifvirtualisation.virtualbox.guest.enable=true_or_false`.

8 years ago For me, setting virtualisation.virtualbox.guest.enable=false and running nixos-rebuild switch did not fix the issue. Running 16.03.1028.0546a4a (Emu) on VirtualBox 5.0.20-4.4.14. The vboxmouse.so is entirely absent.

commented
8 years ago @Ptival by "not work" I mean that X won't start on boot sending me to a console to log in. Can't start X after logging in either. The log errors look similar to those posted by basvandijk several days ago. The critical error seems to be "device not found". A nearly identical setup works fine under VMware Fusion.

8 years ago Okay so I've been going through NixOS versions:
| Version | Works? |
|---|---|
| 16.03.900.87fe38f | yes |
| 16.03.923.9e959ce | yes |
| 16.03.931.2f1174b | no |
| 16.03.941.af412f2 | no |
| 16.03.948.a96c308 | no |
| 16.03.973.8bf31d7 | no |
So it looks like it was introduced between 9e959ce6441a3309c2f3e7b07c62f7c681e8eb6f...2f1174b6d0959dee542b6e76c2ca88232dffc7af.
I'm thinking it's from updating virtualbox from 5.0.14 to 5.0.20...
cc @7c6f434c
The issues may have been fixed in 5.0.22, I'm trying to build with that now. I'm also seeing a note at https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
After the 5.0.16 release, the Guest Additions were updated to support Linux guests with X.Org Server running without root privileges and to fix certain 3D acceleration-related issues. If you experience regressions, please report them in our bugtracker and try to use the 5.0.16 Additions.
For now, I'd say f9e2b4c, 76ebea5, and b984ab1 should be reverted on the 16.03 channel. On unstable, we can experiment with getting 5.0.24 and see if that fixes the problem.

8 years ago The problem doesn't seem to have anything to do with the vboxmouse module not being able to load. The following is /var/log/X.0.log after successfully starting xorg after the downgrade to 5.0.12. You can still see the vboxmouse module failing to load but this time we don't get the:

8 years ago I just tried out the new release candidate for virtualbox 5.1. Same error occurs.
matthewbauer
commented
8 years ago @timsears are you using the updated guest additions or just the updated client? It's not exactly obvious but I think the error is entirely with VirtualBox Guest Additions not the actual VirtualBox client.
I'm thinking we should just revert everybody back to 5.0.12 until VirtualBox team has figured out all of the issues.

commented
8 years ago Based on @matthewbauer comment above I note the following found here
Guest Additions update for Linux guests. After the 5.0.16 release, the Guest Additions were updated to support Linux guests with X.Org Server running without root privileges and to fix certain 3D acceleration-related issues. If you experience regressions, please report them in our bugtracker and try to use the 5.0.16 Additions:
It looks like one might need to override config.boot.kernelPackages used in nixpkgs/nixos/modules/virtualisation/virtualbox-guest.nix.
Anybody have a suggestion on an easy way to do that?

8 years ago I have this working on VirtualBox Version 5.0.24 r108355, using a fresh VirtualBox VM and NixOS install from the nixos-minimal-16.03.1028.0546a4a-x86_64-linux ISO.
nixos-version reports 16.03.1028.0546a4a.
I set virtualisation.virtualbox.guest.enable = true;, enabled i3 via services.xserver.windowManager.i3.enable = true;, as well as kdm and kde4 (just to give me options).
I also installed wget, vim, i3status, dmenu, stack and nodejs via environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; section.
I had some proxy issues so had to use the following when doing a nixos-rebuild at one point as I was suffering from still waiting for errors:
export http_proxy=http://myproxy:3128 NIX_REMOTE= nix-build -A system "<nixos>" nixos-rebuild switch
where myproxy is a Cntlm installation on the host (Windows 7). Instructions taken from here.

8 years ago @atc- are you able to switch terminals without the video driver crashing? For instance, press "Ctrl-Alt-F1" to switch to tty1 then press "Ctrl-Alt-F7" to switch back to tty7. For every Guest Additions after 5.0.16, this seems to crash the vbox video driver.
atcol
commented
8 years ago Yes, that causes issues, but I rarely if ever have to do it. Once I'm in X I start using it normally. If I want to switch to a TTY I logout then use the "Console session" menu option.

commented
8 years ago Note that upstream is reporting that I probably don't have the modesetting X.Org driver installed which should be required.
I see that @edolstra removed the modesetting driver in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/18e067ac808d5559aac21468c877e704fda1ae50 with the explanation that it's part of xorg-server now.
I'm running X.Org X Server 1.17.4. I'm going to find out if the modesetting driver really is part of 1.17.4.
matthewbauer
commented
8 years ago I wonder if the fact that we set "virtualbox" as the video driver is overriding any of the modesetting?

8 years ago Yeah, we should reopen this. There's no "modesetting" entry in xorg server any more. I think commit 22088b4b25119083d8adfc055073f563b9cd8115 might be introducing this.
I'm running NixOS-16.03 at revision: 2f1174b6d0959dee542b6e76c2ca88232dffc7af under virtualbox on OS X. After performing a minor NixOS upgrade about a month a go it occasionally happens that xorg can't find a device. I get this about 1 out of 3 times when booting my machine. My colleague (who's using the the same configuration and nixpkgs version) is less lucky because he never gets a working xorg anymore.
I tried upgrading virtualbox on OS X to the latest 5.0.24 but that doesn't help.
Here are the relevant logs:
journalctl -b 0 -u display-manager:/var/log/X.0.log:
