3D acceleration causing virtualbox to enter aborted state #12

Closed ddetone closed 10 years ago

ddetone commented 10 years ago

3D acceleration is necessary for real-time graphics display (I ran this experiment using the mesa-tool glxgears):

MAX GPU (VB setting) 8 frames in 5.2 seconds = 1.533 FPS 6 frames in 5.6 seconds = 1.073 FPS 7 frames in 5.6 seconds = 1.240 FPS

MAX GPU + 3D Accel (VB setting) 680 frames in 5.0 seconds = 135.756 FPS 897 frames in 5.0 seconds = 179.318 FPS 1131 frames in 5.0 seconds = 226.170 FPS

Here's my VirtualBox log:

The Virtualbox starts fine in GUI mode.

I created an issue here in the vagrant repo: https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/2720

It appears that VirtualBox doesn't like 3D acceleration in --headless mode (which is used by ssh'ing into the precise64 box). For now I am going to dev in a GUI box (Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit with Unity frontend).

I intend experiment with a different headless box and/or create a ticket with VirtualBox.
