This feature makes VirtualBox very popular among developers and system administrators who need to test software on multiple platforms.Īnother advantage of VirtualBox is that it supports a wide range of guest additions, which add features like improved graphics support, mouse pointer integration, seamless windows, and shared folders to the guest operating system. In other words, it enables cross-platform compatibility. This is because it removes the hardware differences between various CPU architectures and allows running different operating systems on the same computer. With the help of VirtualBox, one can run multiple guest operating systems on a single host machine. VirtualBox may be installed on Windows, macOS, Linux, Solaris, and FreeBSD. The software targets users wishing to create virtual environments for servers and desktops that allow users and administrations to run multiple guests operating systems on a single computer for either testing methods or production use. Please do some QA on VirtualBOX before you SHIP an update.VirtualBox is a free and open-source hypervisor for x86 and x86-64 virtualization, which the Oracle Corporation develops. So apparently the only recourse I have is to REINSTALL THE WHOLE THING FROM SCRATCH AGAIN. Here are the updates that LM 20.2 did after the install. I’m just not going to update until I can confirm that this problem is fixed.
But I have work to do so I’m not going to diagnose it further. But the update completely trashes the graphics. After the guest updates – latest with latest install of VirtualBOX – everything is fine. Here are the details:Īfter the clean install of LM20.2 on a new VBox on the latest VBox on a Windows 10 host the Linux Mint appears to work properly. It worked fine as installed, but with the first update, it went back to the same problem. I created a new VM and reinstalled LM 20.2 on the latest VirtualBox. Sometimes there are minor problems, but this completely breaks LM on VB.
I’ve been using Linux Mint on VirtualBox for years and specifically LM 20.x for as long as it has been available. Completely unusable / unfixable of course. I tried the work around to disable 3D and that works.Īnd this is what the menus look like now:
Update: Apparently this is about two weeks old, but not fixed as of. I updated Linux Mint 20.1 this morning on VirtualBox.
