LocutusOfBorghello apw, strange situation involving kernel08:16
* apw looks up08:16
LocutusOfBorginstall inside virtualbox the new zesty iso image08:16
LocutusOfBorgapt-get update && dist-upgrade (install proposed)08:16
LocutusOfBorginstall virtualbox-guest-x1108:16
LocutusOfBorgreboot08:16
LocutusOfBorgblank screen08:16
LocutusOfBorgsomething can't start the graphic08:16
apwhmm08:16
LocutusOfBorgnow, go in tty108:16
LocutusOfBorgapt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms08:17
LocutusOfBorgreboot, everything is fine, 3d acceleration works correctly08:17
apwhmmm so like vbox is just broke/missing in the kernel in -proposed ...08:17
LocutusOfBorgok, the guest-dkms packages inside the kernel are 5.1.16 while the vbox modules are 5.1.18, but modules didn't change08:17
apwodder and odder08:18
apwsforshee, ^^08:18
apwi08:18
apwi guess we need to try and reproduce that and see if we cna figure out what is off there08:18
LocutusOfBorgstrange fact, it isn't missing08:18
apwis it loaded ?08:18
* LocutusOfBorg reboots the machine08:19
apwit might just be timing, or something odd08:19
LocutusOfBorgbut why the dkms one is working?08:19
LocutusOfBorgyes, it is loaded08:19
LocutusOfBorgvboxsf vboxvideo vboxguest all loaded08:19
LocutusOfBorg(lsmod returns them as loaded)08:20
LocutusOfBorgnow, I can force the vbox-guest-x11 to need virtualbox-guest-dkms, but seems strange08:20
* LocutusOfBorg blacklists vboxvideo and retries08:23
* LocutusOfBorg nothing happens08:25
* LocutusOfBorg install dkms package and compares lsmod outputs08:26
LocutusOfBorgnothing strange08:32
LocutusOfBorgeven removing the dkms kernel modules works08:33
LocutusOfBorgnow, the dkms is triggering some code that the kernel isn't08:34
LocutusOfBorgsome postinst maybe08:34
LocutusOfBorgoh... udev :/08:35
LocutusOfBorgapw, confirmed08:37
LocutusOfBorghttps://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-virtualbox/virtualbox.git/tree/debian/virtualbox-dkms.udev08:37
apwmissing a udev script ?08:37
LocutusOfBorgsorry08:37
apwoh when did that appear ?08:37
LocutusOfBorghttps://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-virtualbox/virtualbox.git/tree/debian/virtualbox-guest-dkms.udev08:37
LocutusOfBorgthis one08:37
LocutusOfBorgKERNEL=="vboxguest", NAME="vboxguest", OWNER="root", MODE="0660"08:37
LocutusOfBorgKERNEL=="vboxuser", NAME="vboxuser", OWNER="root", MODE="0666"08:37
LocutusOfBorgadding this rule to your kernel works08:37
LocutusOfBorgwho should add it?08:38
LocutusOfBorgyes, a basic kernel without guest-dkms, and that rule added works08:39
LocutusOfBorgso, somewhere the kernel should add it? :)08:39
apwoh dear, that is as they say difficult, would you file a bug against linux, so i can think about how we handle that08:41
apwdrop the bug number in here...08:41
apwas obviously we can only have one script but have three kernels installed08:41
LocutusOfBorgalternatively I can add such hack in virtualbox-guest-x11 instead08:42
LocutusOfBorgsomewhere without the GL/EGL custom library everything "seems" to work08:42
LocutusOfBorgbut you don't have 3d acceleration08:42
* LocutusOfBorg opens a bug08:44
apwLocutusOfBorg, drop the bug# here so i can find it; we have a lot fo bugs08:55
LocutusOfBorgyep09:10
LocutusOfBorgapw, I assigned LP: #1677170 to you09:16
ubot5Launchpad bug 1677170 in linux (Ubuntu) "Linux vbox guest modules needs udev rule" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/167717009:16
LocutusOfBorgso you don't loose it :p09:16
LocutusOfBorgas usual feel free to downgrade reassign or to whatever you prefer09:17
