#13973 new defect
Win 10 x64 guest with Guest Additions crashed host xserver
| Reported by: | Tharbad | Owned by: | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Component: | guest additions | Version: | VirtualBox 4.3.26 |

| Guest type: | Windows | Host type: | Linux |
Description
Host: Linux Mint 17.1 x64. X.Org v1:7.7+1ubuntu8.
Guest: Windows 10 x64 Technical Preview 9926.
What I did: 1) Installed Win 10x64 English. 2) Installed Guest additions and asked to restart. 3) Tried to login to windows after the restart. Host froze and after ~1 min, X crashed. Attached pic shows what I see on tty7 (X tty after crash).
I'm guessing that something is wrong with the guest additions.

Replying to mhanor:
VirtualBox Guest Additions are meant to be installed inside the guest OS, not on the host.
I know. That's where I've installed them. There seems to be some old residue on host as well. I've removed it. As it was not running in the background, I don't think it has anything to do with this bug.
Thanks

Not necessarily. If you can, try to install the proprietary Nvidia video drivers and see if you still have problems with 3D acceleration support enabled.

On the host, of course. The guest is running with emulated devices, there's no point in installing the Nvidia video drivers on the guest.

I think that this bug should be solved as implies a security breach. Host should not suffer from a guest crash. It can be classified as DOS attack.

Most likely it's a bug in nouveau, the open sourced driver for Nvidia video cards.
