Description

Heavy screen flickering occurs with Ubuntu Wayland guest after installing guest Ubuntu updates. Forum: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=110882

Reproducible on AMD Ryzen 7/9 Windows/Linux host computers as all guests running Ubuntu (Wayland) flavors are affected after updated kernel versions 6.4/6.5:

  • Ubuntu 22.04 / 23.10 Wayland desktops running kernel versions 6.4 and 6.5
  • Hosts Windows 10 and any Linux
  • VirtualBox versions 6.1.48 and 7.0.12
  • Corresponding Guest additions installed
  • Guest Display settings: 128MB, 3D acceleration unchecked (as 3D graphics acceleration is not supported by VirtualBox)
  • Latest Windows 10 host NVidia driver v546.33

Problems:

  • Screen flickering occurs especially in full screen of the guest and maximized guest window.
  • Additionally, the Ubuntu 23.10 / 24.04 installation window does not start or is white (popup asks to quit as there is no GUI response).
  • Very slow GUI guest response.
