This is still my highest Whonix priority right now, I’m just a bit busy IRL.Ĭould creating the OVA template (in vbox 6.1) with 3D Accel ticked from the very start reveal anything or make it work? There are obviously a lot of customizations in the Whonix OVA - it must be one of those many things. It’s been two weeks now but IIRC what I did was uninstall the -headers package, re-install it manually, and the error went away. Please open a separate forum thread for this with full error message.īut that problem has now gone away. Result in initramfs update) but this could be much more serious (preventīoot). Not sure if related (virtualbox guest additions installation does not Can’t find the link right now but a week ago I found vbox forums thread discussing an idea where the guest kernel needs to reconfigure each time you change from VBoxVGA to VMSVGA, etc? So it may be related?

I now have an error update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-4.19.0-6-amd64 with every apt upgrade now. Once desktop environment (lightdm) is started it is the The onlyĭifference is “start lightdm” vs “not start lightdm” (not start desktopĮnvironment). RAM Adjusted Desktop Starter - Kicksecure ? No. I uninstalled & reinstalled headers in workstation, combined with reinstalling guest additions 6.1.0 inside it, and 3D accel still doesn’t work in any of those combinations of things.Īre virtualbox guest additions fully functional? I.e. Update: no, kernel headers in whonix have nothing to do with the problem. (Update: doing sudo dpkg -configure -a gets rid of this symptom though.)Ĭan’t find the link right now but a week ago I found vbox forums thread discussing an idea where the guest kernel needs to reconfigure each time you change from VBoxVGA to VMSVGA, etc? So it may be related?Ĭan you try in vbox 6.1 changing a workstation to VMSVGA and see if it produces this same symptom?

But not if 768MB / graphical mode.Ĭould the RAM-adjusted graphics code have something to do with this - if the mod is not contained in stock Debian? With Gateway set to 256MB RAM, VMSVGA 3D accel WORKS, i.e. Will continue working on this, and I agree I can also ask on vbox forums as part of that.
#Seal of evil 3d acceleration serial
Hope that serial console is still functional. No guarantee this test would work on your hardware, but for most graphics chips this should be replicable.

GPU accel pass-through is needed for normal smooth video playback unless you have an extremely fast CPU which doesn’t apply to most of us. On my hardware, the difference is colossal.

Then, play the MP4 in mpv ( sudo apt install mpv) which is a video player that has hardware decoding enabled by default.
#Seal of evil 3d acceleration 1080p
Inside Workstation, find a 1080p video with a high frame rate like 60fps, e.g. To actually see the difference 3D Acceleration makes, you could test in vbox 6.0 or earlier by comparing “3D Acceleration” ticked or unticked with the setting on VBoxVGA. So it’s an easy test: tick 3D Acceleration for workstation with VMSVGA, and the result we want is for Debian to boot all the way into the system. Since VBox 6.1, there is now simply no way to have “3D acceleration enabled and working”. 3D acceleration enabled and working (Debian buster VM).3D acceleration disabled (Debian buster VM).Something kernel-related in the VM? Can we recompile it somehow to make it work?Ĭan you run this command in the different situations that you described What’s causing this limitation in Whonix OVAs and how do we fix it? Debian boots up and video appears to be butter smooth and thus Accel working. I install a new Debian 10.2 VM in my same vbox instance, installed Xfce 4.12 inside it, and 3D Accel with VMSVGA works fine. I have ruled out this being an upstream bug - it’s not. VBox isn’t the barrier to having decent video performance in Whonix. If not enabled, video in Whonix can be jerky, have glitches, and is not smooth. I have tried latest 15.0.0.7.1 OVA and both Gateway and Workstation can’t get past a black boot screen with a frozen white cursor in the top left-hand corner.įor a lot of hardware, 3D Accel is needed for proper playback of video in a lot of situations. This now results in a limitation of Whonix OVAs. They now only allow 3D Acceleration with VMSVGA setting. Since VBox 6.1 (released two weeks ago), 3D acceleration is disabled for VBoxVGA Graphics controller setting.
