[SOLVED] X server starts, but nothing showing

OK, so I did a fresh Arch installation in a VirtualBox VM running under an Manjaro host.
I worked through the Installation Guide without issues. Network is up and running.
My next goal is to get X and xterm running before proceeding with i3.

What I did so far:
- created non-root user
- installed xorg-server, xorg-xinit, xterm, VM guest utils
- edited .xinitrc

When calling startx (as normal user, without root) everything seems fine, but no xterm is showing. In fact, the tty I am prints the usual Xorg welcome text, but the tty does not switch to graphic mode.
Instead, tty1 seems freezed.
However, I still can switch and log in to other tty and do stuff.
See attached screenshot for this.

This is my .xinitrc

#!/bin/sh

userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap

# merge in defaults and keymaps

if [ -f $sysresources ]; then

    xrdb -merge $sysresources

fi

if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi

if [ -f "$userresources" ]; then


    xrdb -merge "$userresources"

fi

if [ -f "$usermodmap" ]; then
    xmodmap "$usermodmap"
fi

# start some nice programs

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ] ; then
 for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/?*.sh ; do
  [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
 done
 unset f
fi


exec xterm

Re: [SOLVED] X server starts, but nothing showing

Did you follow all the steps outlined in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vi … nux_guests, specifically the parts about loading the kernel modules and launching the guest services?

Also: what (if anything) is in /home/lugge/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log?

Re: [SOLVED] X server starts, but nothing showing

What video controller did you select in the guest settings? The only one I've found to work fully in VirtualBox 6.0, at this point, is VBoxVGA.

This looks odd

[    26.652] (II) modeset(0): Modeline "preferred"x60.0   42.75  800 850 900 950  600 650 700 750 -hsync +vsync (45.0 kHz eP)

[    27.185] failed to add fb -22
[    27.185] (EE) modeset(0): failed to set mode: Invalid argument

It should not say preferred, it should be an XxY resolution

Did you set any custom video modes from the CLI on the host?

Check: VBoxManage getextradata "<vm-name>"

I did and lsmod shows the modules up and running.

I'm not sure 'cause I'm not at my machine, but if I remember correctly, VBoxVGA is the default controller.
I did not change this, so this should be OK. Will check later.

No I didn't. I will try this, thank you.


Oh, what I forgot in my first post, I also installed 

xf86-video-fbdev
xf86-video-vesa

as suggested in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=216047
right after installing X.

These drivers should be used as fallback.
But from my previous Xorg.0.log, X cannot load them:

...
[    25.046] (II) LoadModule: "vesa"

[    25.058] (EE) open /dev/fb0: Permission denied
....

vesa and fbdev should not be necessary because of Guest Additions, however, if they are installed, X should be able to use them.
Can this be a problem?

Re: [SOLVED] X server starts, but nothing showing

If you have the VBoxVGA controller selected, and have the guest additions installed (which the logs suggest you do as /dev/dri/card0 exists), then you are correct - the vesa and fbdev drivers are not needed. However, having the xorg vesa and fbdev drivers installed doesn't seem to make any difference one way or the other. The modesetting driver that is bundled with xorg will be used together with the vboxvideo kernel module - this appears to be happening correctly.

From the logs you shared before, I'm fairly certain the problem is a broken video mode set up on the host side. In the output from the VBoxManage command you'd be looking for and entry called CustomVideoMode<xx>. If you find any, you can remove them with VBoxManage setextradata "<vm-name>" "CustomVideoMode<xx>"

Are host and guest running same version of virtualbox ?

This was it.
For some reason, the Graphic Controller was set to VMSVGA.
Now, with VBoxVGA, a small white window running xterm is showing.
Shame on me :-)

Fun fact: I now also got it working with VMVGA, but for this one has to install xf86-video-vmware.
But as I'm using VBox and not VMware, I will go with VBoxVGA (got to give VBoxSVGA a try).

Thank you!

First up, VirtualBox 6.0 Beta 3 enables support for the "VMSVGA" graphics device by default. VMSVGA is VMware's SVGA II graphics adapter. Why this is notable for Linux users is that SVGA II has the nice mainlined and upstreamed graphics driver support with the VMware DRM kernel driver and Gallium3D user-space.

My response to that news is :
Finally oracle sees reason and replaces their crummy video support for linux guests with a decent driver.
