Hi all!
I'm setting up C7-64 as a VM using VirtualBox, on a Windows host.
as soon as I install the vbox Guest Extensions and reboot, when I log in next time I get a white screen with a frowny face that says "Oh No, Something has gone wrong!" and then "A problem has occurred, and the system can't recover, please log out and try again."
Sounds like a VirtualBox problem to me, but was wondering if anyone here had seen it and maybe knows what's going on.
Thanks!
looking around, I find this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=705078 that isn't clear on the exact cause, but it appears to relate in some way to Gnome. So I logged in via ssh and did yum group install mate-desktop, rebooted, logged in with Mate, and it's fine.
So it is some sort of Gnome weirdness.
maybe the missing acceleration (3d)?
