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)?
3D accel is ENabled in the VBox settings menu...
If one googles for that error message, one finds that MANY people have encountered it, outside of VBox, so I've reconsidered my position that it has anything to do with VBox.
