Just updated to VirtualBox 6.1.8. The host OS is Fedora 31. The guest is OracleLinux-6.10. The system is a Lenovo W530.
I get the message; VBoxClient: The parent session seems to be non-X11. Exiting... on login. Screen resize does not work.
Let me know how I can help.

Is your Oracle Linux 6.10 guest VM running Xwayland by any chance instead of Xorg? If yes, then this error is to be expected, screen resizing does not work with Xwayland.
The entire message should have been:
673 if (!isX11())
674 {
675 VBClLogFatalError("The parent session seems to be non-X11. Exiting...\n");
676 VBClLogInfo("This service needs X display server for resizing and multi monitor handling to work\n");
677 return false;
678 }

Screen resizing did work prior to the update. It is not running Xwayland

Yes I can confirm that the guest resizing does not work with the brand new 6.1.8 GA versions inside a Oracle Linux 6.10 guest because of the X11 check:
[fbatschu@ol6 ~]$ /usr/bin/VBoxClient -f -d --vmsvga-x11 The parent session seems to be non-X11. Exiting... This service needs X display server for resizing and multi monitor handling to work Running service failed: VERR_NOT_AVAILABLE
The last working resize fix was the one from the test builds without that X11 check:

Having the same issue together with additional different issues. Host: Xubuntu 18.04 Guest: Xubuntu 18.04
As soon as installed guest additions 6.1.8, rebooted the guest and as i logged in, it then aborts the whole VM with segfault in my syslog I tried again, but before logging in this time, i went to tty1 and logged in there and typed startx, it starts x11 window successfully, then i get that error from this reported bug: "The parent session seems to be non-X11" as an inotify above.
I have reproduced this on another fresh Xubuntu Guest - same issues.
I have now changed back to Guest Additions 6.0.18 and login works. Please fix this.
PS: Guest Window resizing does not work either, as mentioned above.
comment:10 by , 5 years ago
I had more time to play with this issue. The host has been upgraded to fedora 31 (really, no... really) Also tried booting both the Enterprise and Linux Compatible kernels. None of these changes had any effect on the problem
I have a guest that's identical to the guest having the issue. This guest is fine using guest addition 6.1.0 r135406. Everything else is the same.
comment:11 by , 5 years ago
So here's what I found regarding the fix for #19496 in 6.1.8:
(NB: All Xorg configurations, no Xwayland)
Worked with the inital testbuild, still GOOD with 6.1.8:
Oracle Linux 8.2, 8.1, 7.8
Ubuntu 20.04, 19.10, 19.04, 18.04.04, 16.04
Fedora Rawhide (5.7.0-rc2), 31, 30
OpenSuse Tumbleweed (5.6.12),15.1
Debian 10, 9.11
CentOS 8.1, 8 Stream, 8, 7
Worked with inital testbuild, but NOW FAIL after adding X11 check in 6.1.8:
Oracle Linux 6.10
CentOS 6.10
OpenSuse 42.3, 41.2
Ubuntu 14.04
Did not worked with the inital testbuild, does not work with 6.1.8 due X11 check:
Ubuntu 12.04
comment:12 by , 5 years ago
so in VBox-6.1/src/VBox/Additions/x11/VBoxClient/display-svga-x11.cpp we use the following method to determine whether or not we're running in an X11 environment and not in Xwayland.
657 * Tries to determine if the session parenting this process is of X11.
658 */
659 static bool isX11()
660 {
661 char* pSessionType;
662 pSessionType = getenv("XDG_SESSION_TYPE");
663 if (pSessionType != NULL)
664 {
665 if (RTStrIStartsWith(pSessionType, "x11"))
666 return true;
667 }
668 return false;
669 }
670
671 static bool init()
672 {
673 if (!isX11())
674 {
675 VBClLogFatalError("The parent session seems to be non-X11. Exiting...\n");
676 VBClLogInfo("This service needs X display server for resizing and multi monitor handling to work\n");
677 return false;
678 }
So we can now work this the assumption that the older releases I recorded as failing do not support or set the environment variable XDG_SESSION_TYPE. Will verify.
Bug introduced in 6.1.8 via bug fix for #19496

From the comments in
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/1224
Lennart Poettering Lennart Poettering @poettering · 1 year ago XDG_SESSION_ID, XDG_SESSION_TYPE, XDG_SESSION_CLASS, XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP, XDG_SEAT, XDG_VTNR are all systemd inventions. I added them back when we introduced XDG_RUNTIME_DIR. I chose the prefix XDG_ because there were supposed to become defined in an fdo spec of some kind, but I never bothered to actually do that, I didn't want to have all those discussions... (For the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR stuff I did do the work, and it is part of xdg-basedir since a long time) I think it would still make a lot of sense to write a formal fdo spec for them, if anyone cares (I am not volunteering). That said, they are documented within the systemd context and will be set on all sessions on all systemd systems: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/pam_systemd.html Hence, they are definitely documented API already and have been for a long time, without any sort of API breakage or anything. The question is simply whether systemd is good enough as a standardizing body for you, or if you want something in fdo instead...
So they are not availabe to these older Linux distributions simply because those do not use systemd at all. Ie. this environment variable will be also missing on any modern Linux distro without systemd support, and there are some.
Might use WAYLAND_DISPLAY and DISPLAY instead of XDG_SESSION_TYPE.
XDG_SESSION_TYPE is a non-standard part of systemd, and not set if you run a compositor from the command line, for instance.
comment:16 by , 5 years ago
I'd suggest a much more conservative approach to determine whether or not we might assume an X11 environment, and that is by explicitely checking for the Xwayland case instead of the X11 case. This should work for older, nonsystemd distros that currently fail the check:
comment:17 by , 5 years ago
Using the following changeset enables resizing again for non-systemd Xorg distros/environments while retaining the functionality of disabling resizing on Xwayland because it cannot work currently.

Oracle Linux 6.10

OpenSuse 42.3, 41.2
Ubuntu 14.04
However, we're left with Ubuntu 12.04 which still does not get resizing to work, but obviously for other reasons. Maybe its Xorg version playes a rule? Ubuntu 12.04 runs with Xorg 1.15.1 while Ubuntu 14.04 runs with Xorg 1.18.3. Anyways that'd be an issue for a seperate bug.

@fbatschu the issue seems to have worsened when trying VBoxGuestAdditions_6.1.9-138064.iso In addition to my previous comment here, this time when going into tty1 and type startx, the VM crashes with segfault.
On Xubuntu this is the setup i am using on the VM: Ubuntu Server 18.04 with added packages lightdm-gtk-greeter xfce4 xfce4-goodies xfce4-clipman build-essential. I then install guest additions from 6.1.8 OR the new test build you released, i login to lightdm and then get segfault crashes. I dont know how to get logs for this if i can help in any way? Or if you can just create a VM with the setup above and reproduce?

Your issue seems to be unrelated to the problem at hand dealed with in this bug. You should file a seperate bug descrribing the installation/setup and steps to reproduce it in detail as well
as attaching the corresponding Vbox log files of the crashing VM.
I am using those bits as well on a Ubuntu 18.04.04 server running with a Ubuntu 18.04.04 guests using lightdm without problems.
The log file is stored in the VM location /your/path/<vm-name>/VBox.log

I'm running OSX host / Centos 8 guest. Just upgraded Guest Additions to 6.1.9-138064, still no dice. I still get the "Parent session seems to be non-X11" and the screen resize doesn't work.
I see that it worked for wheaties, and I am super envious.
Fwiw, this is my first VirtualBox machine ever. I've been beating my head against a wall about this for a week and a half and still haven't been able to make it usable. I can't use it with a 800x600 screen, and if I switch graphics controllers from VMSVGA it flickers to the point it's unusable. I'm getting real, real impatient for this system to actually start working.
Guess I'll try downgrading to Guest Additions 6.1.2 until a real fix appears, but just wanted to alert everyone that this is still a problem for Centos 8.

Is your CentOS 8 guest using Xwayland or Xorg? If it is using Xwayland it cannot work currently. How to find out?

If anyone's wondering: I've got it working now with GA 6.1.2, though it runs slowly on VMSVGA. If I try VBoxVGA or VBoxSVGA I can't use 3D Acceleration and I get screen flickering. As of now I've got it on VMSVGA with a smaller resolution than what I'd really like, but it's at least usable!
As to your question...

It's using Xwayland, I had a feeling that might be the problem.
Again, this is my first rodeo — I am literally only setting up this VM so I can take a course on CentOS / RHEL. So I don't know the difference between Xwayland and Xorg. How can I switch my VM to Xorg?
Or do I just have to wait until there's a new GA that works with Xwayland?
