Bug Description

[ Test case ]
* Install virtualbox-guest-dkms or virtualbox-dkms on a new hwe linux kernel

[ Regression potential ]
* Minimal, this is taken from later kernel modules (usual ifdefs in the kernel module)

[ Other info ]
* the kernel module needs the usual updates.
This happened after kernel update to 4.13.0-16-generic

I'm not sure whether this is the correct fix. Trying to start a Windows 7 VM with this fix froze my machine completely.

Sorry, but starting the VM still freezes the machine completely with the 16.04.3 packages. I'm also seeing warnings at login that the Virtualbox kernel service is not running.

Is there anything I could help to debug this?

Hello Jarek, or anyone else affected,

Accepted virtualbox into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/5.0.40-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

My system still freezes completely on Linux 4.13 when starting a VM. With kernel 4.11 it works. See comments #7 and #9.

Hence marking verification-failed.

Hello Jarek, or anyone else affected,

Accepted virtualbox-hwe into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox-hwe/5.0.40-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.1~16.04.4 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

I could only install virtualbox-guest-dkms-hwe, virtualbox-guest-utils-hwe and virtualbox-guest-source-hwe, not virtualbox-guest-x11-hwe due to dependency conflicts. I hope that's not a problem …

I can't boot into 4.13 at the moment, so I'll report on that later.

Sorry, the computer still freezes completely in the moment when I click on the “Start” button in VirtualBox (right when the boot window opens), when running a 4.13 kernel on the host. It still works on a 4.11 kernel.

Do I need to do anything else besides installing the three packages mentioned above?

Right now linux-hwe is fine, linux-hwe-edge might need some more fixes, but this shouldn't block this bug from being closed

@geryon, can you please try what Vlad mentioned here?

"Boot issue solved by removing intel-microcode package - no idea why it was installed."

I think you just need to disable iommu, but removing that package might be even better, or trying the one from bionic might also help us

Yes, for me kernel 4.10 runs fine after removing intel-microcode. Should I test with hwe-edge too?

I don't have IOMMU virtualization though, my host machine has old Core 2 Duo CPU where VT-d wasn't implemented yet.

I confirm both updates work in Xenial VM with current linux-generic-hwe-edge (4.13.x):

- virtualbox-guest-* version 5.0.40-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2
- virtualbox-guest-*-hwe version 5.0.40-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.1~16.04.4 (with HWE xorg)

While testing this, I forgot to disable xenial-proposed before installing hwe-edge kernel, so now I have linux-image-4.13.0-18-generic version 4.13.0-18.21~16.04.1 which is also from xenial-proposed. :)

Thank you for the verification report. Since this has been tested with virtualbox-hwe together, I'd like to release them together, but virtualbox-hwe still needs another two days of aging.

The verification of the Stable Release Update for virtualbox-hwe has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.

I had installed the security patches of Ubuntu 16.04 (64 bit; Unity desktop) on 2018-01-10, ~ 20:30. After needed reboot a window had been opened showing (in German) that a problem had been occurred. After reporting the error (to launchpad, Canonical or who knows) my web browser had been started showing launchpad's bug # 1730030, which is the original of this bug # 1729568.
